Citadel Dwarf Troll Slayer Command II (Colin Dixon, 1998) (Jewel of July ’19)

Citadel Dwarf Slayer Command, 1998

Today’s post features the first Dwarves I’ve completed in quite some time. It is in fact a pair of models I’ve painted/completed before, pretty much two full years ago. There’s not all that much to write about them, really. There were a bunch of Dwarven Slayers sitting on that one spot on my painting desk, that I’d occasionally look at and think about working on, but it took a concerted mental effort to pick them up properly and just get them done.

There are a few more that got completed as well, to be shown in the next few days – you’ll hopefully understand why I’m using seperate posts when I show them, though sadly there are still more metal Slayers to go yet. As with the previously painted-and-shown pair, I tarted up the standard not with a banner, but with a slightly modified Dwarven Standard top. I think it does make the base model look a lot better with that extra bit of bling, though.

Another Trio of Citadel WHFB Dwarven Giant Slayers (1993-4)

Another trio of early-90’s Slayers today. Not a lot to write about these guys as we’ve seen others of their ilk before quite a few times by now. These three have been painted with paler, more faded – slightly pastel even rather than “natural” – hair.

A couple of different tones of blue for the stripey trousers, but both wearing the traditional style. Once again, I think the tattoos turned out well.

I really need to get the final batch of these guys stripped so I can start painting them. I’ve still got the commanders to complete, as well as a small selection of LE figures from Citadel and metals from other sources like AoW and Mantic. And then there’s the plastics. And the Fyreslayers…
