    The Dwarf army set

    Has anyone of you gotten his hands on the Dwarf army set? Can someone explain to me how 15 Shieldbreakers fit in there? It isn't dividable by 2.

    You get 10 Shieldbreakers plus a command sprue, which is the same as for the Ironclad regiment, and so has 5 models on it.

    Re: The Dwarf army set

    The dwarves from it don't seem to fit together very well... Gaps between the torso and legs.
    That was my experience anyway.

    Also I managed to assemble it as:
    20 sheild+1hander
    20 spear+sheild
    20 2handed hammers
    20 gunners
    2 cannon
    With 5 left over that I'm planning on making into Army Standards using other kits.

    Instead of:
    40 sheild+1handed weapon
    15 2handed hammer
    30 gunners
    2 cannon

    I know the Dwarves and what you can do with it =) Currently I have 90 of those sitting around, along with 110 Elves. The gaps are a problem with all the first 3 ranges, you have to cut away the tiny button. The gap won't look bad after that, but a bit of greenstuff and 2 minutes of work won't hurt either.

    Thanks very much Karanthir, I was interested in the sprues and it's all clear now. I am a sucker for the 30 pound forces, but the army force doesn't look half bad also.

    Out of interest, what spears have you used for these?

    Tooth picks! Used a friends drill to put holes in the hands that otherwise held axes.

    Ahh, I cant do that, as I've built a lot of my skeli's as spearmen, so the spears have thus gone
