Ive purchased the Dwarf army pack and several extra units to bolster my forces along with the Warbands army book. Ive even got an old pack of GW Warmaster Dwarves- The Throne of power and Anvil of Doom. I took out my figures and broke them up into units.
1 General- Throne of Power
1 Spell- crafter Anvil of Doom
4 Warriors
5 Missiles (handguns, crossbows, bows & flame throwers)
2 Honor Guard
1 Noble Riders
3 Berserkers
1 Rock Elementals
1 Gyrocopter squadron
3 Artillery
Im going to use the flame throwers as a missile unit with slow/powerful. The Throne & anvil will make great units for my leaders. Looks like a good start for an army, 1,000 points or so, and a nice choice of units to give me variety for a 500 point game. I have some tiny shields (bucklers from GW thunderers) to give my Dwarves shieldwall. Im also thinking of making a small base to represent the Hero upgrade. Then I can just put it next to the unit he joins.
I think the best way to paint these tiny guys would be to put them on popsicle sticks with a drop of glue. I also need to pick up some putty or spackle to even out the bases. I dont like the miniature bases to stand out so much.
Im thinking of a blue or a blue/yellow, blue/white paint scheme. Something blue. I have the tiny blue dice/frames to put on the corner of the base.
All sounds great! :)
