Dave King has had more BeDerken dwergs in the pipeline for some time now, in addition to a number of related models and related bits and pieces. Just within the last 24 hours his Bederken site has being rebranded “Darkling Games”. Although there aren’t any Bederken dwergs just yet, there are five new models that have been listed in the Darkling personality category, some of which are already for sale on the Miniature Heroes web store, of which many of us are already familiar.
Dave’s models are fantastic and these new Darkling models look just as good as his first release dwergs, not to mention most of these new models will fit right at home in a Chaos Dwarf collection!
I plan to order all of them, but I may need more than one dwarf zombie!
I don't like them at all. That "mushy" pastel painting look for fantasy miniatures hasn't appealed to me since the 80's.

For shame young beardling! Dave has more creativity and talent in his little finger than all the rest of us combined. Plus the 80s and early 90s is the best period of warhammer IMO.
Excellent stuff! The chest is my favorite too. I hope we see some dwerg rank and file soon!
Haven’t checked his site in awhile, thought maybe there might be news on more Dwergs. And I wasn’t disappointed, there is plenty of news, including something new in the works involving a cannon and an ass.
The chest and orc. Just look at them. That’s the reason why I have that webstore’s address saved for future purchases. Lovely stuff.
The asscannon might be a must-buy…

Aye those where the days for warhammer too IMO. So much character and such a great style all miniatures had back then.
And to think I wasn’t even born yet when most miniatures I own where made…

To some degree I concur. Like Borador my opinion of this cannot be said to be clouded by nostalgia, since I entered the GW hobby during the Eye of Terror campaign, and I still hold a lot of those best 6th edition miniatures in high regards to this day. Yet, Warhammer was good before my nostalgia era.
Quality is obvious regardless of age.
Whilst Warhammer have lots of lovely stuff nowadays, it often can’t beat the sheer character displayed in some older miniatures. Dwarfs in particular. The Orc raider with pig was an exception, however.
I had my wallet ready to wrench open at Cancon this year but no new dwergs yet from dave, so I bought 46 Amazons (28mm) for Saga. mind you i haven’t painted Series One yet either
