I need a Dwarf pictures! (Please...please...please)
I am helping put together a dwarf supplement for the GW Strategy Battle Game, and I was wondering if anyone had any cool dioramas or other images of dwarf miniatures being cool.
I like to slip Mithril pictures into these things out of badness, after all.
Anyone have anything I could use? (Credit will be given!)

Re: I need a Dwarf pictures! (Please...please...please)
Gavin, please wait until this evening (CET 20:30!) Maybe I have something extraordinary for you . . .
Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Oh, I can wait, and for something extraordinary, I will wait 
(I need these pictures sometime in the next three weeks or so, I think. Not entirely sure when the deadline is!)

OK, Gavin, here are some pics. First: Master Thorin with this magnificent helmet.

This diorama shows the dwarves leaving Azanulbizar ready to fight the enemy . . . 
Maybe you can use some of them. Would be glad.

Christoph - I am speechless! These are SO good! The atmosphere, the realism, I really feel like these capture a sense of dread, adventure, and majesty!
Thanks!

Re: I need a Dwarf pictures! (Please...please...please)
Yes, the one with the portal is lovely! Look at even the smallest details - such as the sunlight "spilling" onto the very precipice of the cliff upon which the dwarf is standing. Reminiscent of early morning or early evening, partially in shade and partially in sunlight. Knowing Christoph, I'm guessing that was "German Precision" in that detail!

Absolute Spitzen Klasse!
Da bleibt einem ja der Mund offen stehen!
Where there is a will there is a way, just as there are no problems, only solutions! Guess it depends on ones own perspective of the matter at that time

Re: I need a Dwarf pictures! (Please...please...please)
It's not a GW commission - just me helping out with a fan project.
GW can't afford me - they pay their freelancers less than buttons. I am just doing this for fun when I should be writing my novel :p

Jetzt weiß ich´s also! Respekt!
