don’t the beard look a bit familiar
Time of Madness:
Beards do look familiar.
I’m not a big fan of this particular model, maybe it’s just the paint job.

clam:
I’ve never seen a dwarf with a curly beard before
Not that fond of this 3-up (which seems too skinny/too tall) - but if they come close to the concepts shown:
I think we’ll see many chaos dwarfs armies based on these Mantic’s.
EDIT:
Wonder what happend? as they seems to know how a proper dwarf should look like:
Ogrob:
I think, in all, the paintjob, the beard and the shield make it look a bit too much like lego.
With those done differently, it could be a very nice model. Tbh, I quite like the fact that he has legs with knees, and the armor looks good. I’ll probably end up buying some to make into Chaos Dwarves…
Sjoerdo:
warh:
that look much better:D
clam:
I actually prefered this one :~
And after dwarfs …? … Orcs, I guess. This was showned at Salute 2010:
starscream:
Hurrah! Hobbycraft in Gateshead are stocking these. I nearly bought the elven army deal last year. I might pick up a smaller box to take a better look.
Thorne:
Oh I dont know those armour clad ones would make cool Iron breaker and Immortal types with very minimum work. I have to say im more looking forward to the missile types myself.
Tarrakk Blackhand:
I think the head and beard look a little too “Square” for my tastes. I think the beard needs to come down more to the belt and not look so much like a machine made it. I like the armor however.
Thorne:
Yes the armour does remind me of Juggernaugth (im not sure on the spelling) from the X men comicbooks.
clam:
Antoher painted 3up. This time it’s a thunderer.
I’m still not that excited about them. Something about the dwarf proportions that dosn’t seems right (to me that is).
Thorne:
Damn Clam noo LOOK he has knees !
cornixt:
The legs are a bit small compared to the top half of the body. looks good though.
wallacer:
They’re a cheap alternative to GW.
I understand they try to make their figures fairly generic.
Good luck to them. Nice to have alternatives.
Thorne:
I think the dwarven missile unit would make relatively nice blunderbuss models. With minimal greenstuff work would make nice mask models too. Cant see too big a fault with them as they seam how I would now expect a dwarven model to look. Almost perry like in there proportions.
Ogrob:
I think there’s some potential here. Might pick some up if money allows…

Zanko:
Nice looking models but nothing stunning!
They are much too awkward and crude for my liking!
But nonetheless much better than the new GW plastics - but still plastics! :~
:hashut
chrixter:
The Mantic dwarfs are althiough far from perfect quite promising - cheap and will not require extensive conversion to get decent. Way better starting point than Skull Pass.
