As a I yet wrote in the LAF forum: Nice, interesting and original job, as usual of course

Thanks for the two forum support! I find that when I go for a second reply on the same post I can't think of a thing to say that I didn't in the first reply...it's the Man of Few Words Thingy.  

Two more completed & seven plus to go...for the Foot Fellows that is. AND here they are:






...with the War Band thus far:


The last of the Halberd Guys & the Captain will be pushing toward completion today. Have you noticed everything takes longer than you would have imaged? C'est la vie, eh?!  

Loving the dwarves Deaf!

Thanks for the reply, Mike. I think they are cool little Guys & Gal...I'm glad you agree. Now if I could convince The Camera to take some better photos...  

Great progress! The stunted ones look great

Thanks, Jim. Although the photos are a bit of a disappointment, I'm rather pleased with the Crew thus far. I'm glad you like them too.  
After the Dwarfs the next Gang will probably be the Dark Hold Goblins I just picked up.  

Great paitnjob, looks like the boys have a alcohol problem.

Thanks, Ben...glad you like them. Dwarfs do seem to love their drink..it's part of their charm or lack thereof.  

Wise words!

I love them.

They are fitting perfectly in the style of your Maudeheim project.

Thanks, MoM...glad you like them. They do fit with the Project though...I'm not sure if W.K. is too happy with that concept. After a bit of a side trip into strange flora, I'm hoping to get some more of the Little Rogues painted & photographed, & posted over the weekend...or not.  

The Captain & another trusty Halberdier are completed. SO it is tiime once more for some vague photographic representations of the Roguish Crew:

The Crew:










The Captain & Backup:






There you have them. ..so to speak...more or less. Feel free to leave a comment.

Hooray! Excellent work despite the vagueness

Or perhaps, because of it.

An excellent looking warband you've got there. Also like the doorknob in the background!

Great as always, real deafnalas, and those comic faces, love them!

Thanks, Jim. The Camera is being that way again. I took a couple more photos of the Crew on the painting table. They are a little clearer although the colors are still a little off...Reality & Cameras can be SO cruel.

Thanks, Grim. I'm going for a fantasy/steam punk feel for The Blight so I did some fancy door knobs; I'm glad you like them.

Thanks, Ben. Now that you mention it The Roguish Band does have a certain lack of the dour, seriousness that is normally attribute to the Vertically Challenged. Here's a slightly better look at the Crew:

Great looking mob of stunties you have there.

The leader is my favorite.

Thanks again, Jim. My favorite among the painted ones keeps changing. I think the Guy with the eye patch & the two handed sword will probably be the overall favorite...depending on the paint job.  

AND a bit of a sneak peek: it the top Out of Town photo off in the back on the far right you may be able to make out a Big Frog Guy. Ben aka floedebolle sent me a W.I.P. Frog Fellow. Thus far I've added some ragged Landskent style trousers, Jester's shoes, & a missing finger. If it turns out okay, there will be some photos of Froggy...hopefully.  

I admit I was going to comment about the lurking frog in the background, but I decided to control myself.

Ha, right, and those fellows do look like they know how to party, RED NOSE DAY!

I think subconsciously I prefer the Work Table Photos simply because there is almost always something interesting lurking in the background. The In Town shots do show of some details also, but the blurred W.I.P. what-is-its are more mysterious...sort of.

I may have to come up with some roving beirgarten...this does have possibilities.  

I love those dwarf minis and your painting just adds to the character. Your fabulous setting suits them just right.

Slightly foppish renaissance dwarves ftw!

I don't need more dwarves, I don't need more dwarves, I don't need....

...you NEVER have enough Dwarves. I wound up ordering some more also. 
Anyway, thanks, lorlucan! I'm glad they appeal to you...they do look at home in the Blight.  

As threatened, I took a few photos of the now nearly completed Froggy Guy that I received from floedebolle. AND HERE'S FROOGY:









I will in all probability be cluttering him up with various paraphernalia, but for the most part the joint sculpt is now complete.  

Ha, great al, love what you´ve made out him, the idea of giving him jester´s clothing is great( hope it IS jetser´s clothing though)
And cant wait to see our creation coming to live in full colour!
