Hey boys, girls & greenskins.
Just a quick heads up that my range of Evil Space Dorfs will be up for sale in the Oakbound Games store (http://www.propworkshop.co.uk/oakbound/miniatures/) rather soon(ish) a couple days or so.
Full project including concept and greens can be viewed here:

I have have a few sets for anyone short of cash and wishing to trade for a set.
Cheers fellas.
DAGabriel:
Lol, thought the same…
But they are looking quite nice. Will give them a chance when they arrive in the shop.
@ Chico: BTW, good to hear you are still painting!
torn:
I think they say dorf and cdorf In the online blood bowl community, could be wrong though. They have an old chaos squat feel.
Chico:
Heh the reason for Dorf is simple, in GW Retail around late 90’s early 00’s when I worked for the Evil Empire there were alot of slang terms floating around (Ultrasmurfs anyone?) and Dorf or Dorfs were one of them and it’s just stayed with me since. It’s even wormed it’s way into various usages such as the Blood Bowl mention above.
As for changing the name for a few German speakers… well all I can say is Ha! Enjoy the Villages 
Bloodbeard:
I like them. Lots of squat like sci-fi dwarfs coming out these days.
Dorf. In schleswig where I’m from dorf means dumb (like a half-wit). “Er du dorf?!” is "Are you dumb?!"
Or “Han er så dorf!” "He is so dumb!"
Only in southern Denmark would people understand it. It’s not a real danish word.
Chico:
Thankies, heh I’m loving Dorf means Half-wit 
As for Squat-like I’m/we are trying to stay away from the whole Biker or heavy machine loving Space Dwarf image and are heading down the quirky/funny/steam punky route with the likes of a Cyber Goat and a Judge Dredd parody Dorf.
These are just the first 4, with the funds these mae going back in to expand the range further… Pirate Dorf with silly hat and tentacle (Heh auto correct wanted to put that as testicle :O) beard? Steam powered Cyber Berserker? Gimp like Imps and so much more.
Enjoy them for the sillyness they bring 
torn:
I like the judge dorf
Zanko:
Though I didn’t own any 40K models I like them (even with this quite strange name :D). Some more of them and you have a quite cool mercenary crew!
:hashut
Chico:

Zuh-Khinie:

Chico:
Mr Geoff of Oakbound Games has been busy again pushing putty, more WIP’s of Wave 2
Chico:
Second helmet done. Two views, either side of the central ‘Peacekeeper’ helm, of the ‘Bughunter’ helmet. These will go into a mould to have resin casts taken of them. I’ll then work on top of these resin castings to produce a few different heads.
Chico:
Couple more bits:
Batdorf, Peacekeeper & Bughunter heads.
Dorf Cyber-Beserker head
Chico:
Another Evil Space Dorf WIP (Leg cables done and of course arms) from Oakbound Games. I’m getting a certain diseased ridden God or maybe a Dark Judge feel eh?
