Fuggit Khan:

I’m glad that they remastered the two handed weapon guys, looks like they will rank up perfectly now :hat off

TheHoodedMan:

I think they look not different, maybe some details at the cloak rims but the poses look the same.

Firehammer:

These are also quite recent, not sure if they were covered in other threads on Russian Alternative:

Plus some vanilla Dwarfs outside the CD spectrum, and probably other releases as well. We noticed that when ordering during the resin discount, but I forgot to spread the word. It’s great to see RA steaming on, and to see more of Rozmax’ characterful sculpts come to casting.

TheHoodedMan:

A few of the single models look very interesting for representing unit champions or minor characters like engineers (excluding the female and the single berserker model) :-).

Jackswift:

I concur.  Some of the single models will make great additions as characters, or warmachine crew.  

It is primarily personal preference, but I am not a fan of the remastered Great Weapon troops.  I get the desire to rank the models, and they will definitely help with that.  However, the original versions look far more vicious and foreboding in part because of their size, and the reduced weapon sizes also detracts from the impact of the models.  

Granted, the size matters a little less when playing Kings of War.  I can rank the unit on 25mm bases instead of 20 with a 5mm filler at the back to make it the same size as a 5x4 unit on 20mm bases.  I have one unit of 12 (original version) assembled, and awaiting paint, and they look great.  :cheers

Darkmeer:

Agreed. When hobby funds next become available, I’ll be picking up the new Dwarves of Fire Canyon. I plan on the female dwarf of fire canyon to be part of a unit of immortals. I’m thinking of making a Corporal Klinger type of model. I prefer my Dwarves (vanilla and Chaos) to be sans-beard, for the horror that it may be to others.
