The Hill Dwarves do not have specific unit packs for Honor Guard or Rangers. Goblins & Orcs are missing Scouts  & cave Horrors. Will theses figures be released in the future or should we just use other figures in the range as these units?  Just curious, so I can plan my army accordingly.

Thanks.

Thanks for the message, those unit types are served by the codes already released, so the Warriors or Archers could be used for Rangers or Scouts.  For the cave horrors, there's a load of options for those in the Dungeon Monsters range here: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Fantasy-c21/Dungeon-Monsters-sc173/

Ok, I thought that might be the case. Thank you very much for the (lightning) fast reply!

Any good candidates for Dwarf Rangers? ( Warriors/Archers as LEON said) Maybe some dwarves in cloaks with throwing axes or crossbows, maybe a mix? Since they have a short range shooting attack. I guess I'll have to wait until I get my figs & look them over.  Maybe something as simple as a few Dwarfs scattered across the bases instead of so many ranked up & ready to fight. They are "scouting" after all. I could always use that Bugman mini with the mug, he was a Ranger.

Honour Guard will be mostly Hammer Warriors and a few other elite looking warrior types. Im used to Hammerers beinmg the Dwarf King's guards. (Warhammer GW influence)

You could take a look at the old FD5 in the Dwarves range, crossbow and although wearing armour it also looks like they are wearing a cloak to me, there is a picture on:

Hope this helps.

Thanks!  A green paint scheme, instead of my army blue/white scheme will also help I think.
