Hello, guys.
I have been thinking on doing a dwarf treasure hunter band since I started sculpting more than 10 years ago. Using the free time we all were forced to get for the pandemic, finally I were able to sculpt the first miniatures, old school style. Some days ago I received these photos of the resin masters and the metal mould will be ready in a pair of weeks and I thought it was a good moment to start to share them.
In fact, if you are interested in any of them, send me a PM ;] I will be doing a "proof print", and if it works I will continue doing the rest of the band more oficially.
Oh, and to be clear:
- Thunderer is the estalian one with the crossbow. - Shortbeard A is the imperial one, running. - Shortbeard B is the estalian lancer. - Shortbeard C is the tilean duelist. - Shortbeard D is the bretonnian girl.
Oof, great stuff! Lots of character, dynamism & a nice range of poses, & I really like the retro sculpt style. The sketches look good too, for what it's worth, so I look forward to you building up the warband!

Dwarf girls are a soft spot for me I've been trying to assemble a good Treasure Hunters warband out of all female dwarf models so if you do the 2 additional girls you will have a guaranteed sale from me...

Great stuff. Lots of character. Reminds me of the old citadel dwarven adventurers. Except these look like serious adventurers. Let us know if you plan on marketing these.

I am planning on doing 2 models of everyone. A male and a female. In fact, I am already doing the second crossbowman, which is the kislev girl in the concept. And caster told me the figures will be ready at the end of the week, so I will be starting sending them during next week (unles, to those who haven't gone out for holidays).

These models all look great. They look to be of a better quality (design, sculpt AND casting) than lots of the stuff you can buy from actual companies. I don't know how concerned you are with "realism" when it comes to fantasy miniatures, but I don't know if the candle (which IS a nice detail and finely crafted) makes a lot of sense for a ranged fighter. If it's not a REALLY big candle, it wont help him spot any potential targets but instead put a big "shoot me" sign over his head...

I figured the candle was part of a miner's helmet, a classic piece of dwarf costume! Sure, it doesn't make tactical sense in a realistic sense, but it's a bunch of fun.

That is quite an array of SPLENDID minis.
