@Brian Van De Walker the ones on the classic fantasy range. They're not boring, they're near perfect. A little smaller axehead, a proper crossguard on the sword and they'd be perfect. And a spear, bow and crossbow option. No firearms, steampunk is horrible.
@timbus the thirteenth got Oathmark ones. The medium infantry are very nice, as are the heavy, but both of those got wrong helmets. So does the light infantry. Proper spangenhelm all the way. As to your comment for Brian, I feel weirdly insulted and seen :D (the Kharadron are a blight upon the world tho)
@Piisami Lets agree to disagree on weather they are boring or not😆, they are pretty much the oathmark dwarfs all over again with less options and armored up to be even more like dark age Northern Europeans in chainmail* which is one of the most over done topics in plastic minature at the moment as well the most over done theme for dwarves.
They don't even have proper guns for Kings of War, they are just a bland LOTR theme set to me which is a pity since dwarves could be so much more than that .
*(and clearly the Scandi ones at that, the heads may as well have come in a set of historical Viking set. If your really having an issue with the heads oathmark has I suggest looking at the Victrix Dark Age sets)
@Brian Van De Walker Oh, I disagree they're the same. Disagree hard on that. Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion. Victrix heads sadly do not fit the Oathmark bodies, they're too small. I tried that.
It's not overdone, it's the proper theme. What I'm seeing is weird steampunk / renaissance popping up everywhere, and that's just not that good. All these weird new theme dwarves are just useless, to me at least. If they weren't metal I'd buy a couple hundred Ragnarok Miniatures dorfs, they're proper good ones. I don't think there is a single proper viking-dorf plastic set available, despite your claims. No, Oathmark is not that. It gets close, but not quite. No, neither is LOTR dorf from GW. Double no, triple, quadruple no on GW Old World dorfs, where's their legs at?
Those WA sculpts on classic fantasy got better looking body proportions on them, they got better helmets, they got a proper look in general. Superior to Oathmark, except weapons could stand to be a bit less exaggerated.
The unarmored Light Infantry from Oathmark is a tad better, but they sadly don't come in single weapon and shield without kitbashing.
@Piisami Your so wrong on that😆. Not only is it over done (Em4 does norse dwarfs, oathmark does norse dwarfs, God only knows how many norse dwarfs you can 3D print out, same deal with metals, etc.) there is plenty of ways to actually convert them from other sets (ranging from converting viking sets to simply sticking random dark age warrior heads and arms on halfings since there little noticable diffrence between the dark age Northern europeans).
Likewise the norse Viking culture is perhaps the most overused or atleast second most overused theme in fantasy (wargaming or otherwise, it actually overdone for historical wargaming and fiction too at this point😆), basically the old raider culture is overhyped to the point I would argue it is no longer a proper theme for anything non-historical if done plain jane like the stl ones, it is just being lazy with dwarfs or whatever other fantasy race your making norse, it needs to be more than just historical Vikings squatted which is what the STLs are, (they should at least add some horned helmets or something since the ones they have are just boring historical helmets you can get the in historical Viking Age sets, like buy Saxons you should get some😆point is I have come to deeply despise the helmets you love as far as fantasy topics go😤).
Also the "weird steampunk dwarfs" as you call them are far more in line with classical fantasy dwarfs than the "riped off histiorical Vikings" ones considering the WFB dwarfs where always gun totting scots, heck even in the original old pagan Norse myths dwarfs where craftsmen who wore goggles and created artfacts that could best be veiwed as "magitech", not short stack Vikings, thats like making them lesser mortal beings, why bother with them in that case when can just use human vikings?
