Yeah, I think that was more to the pictures - the skin is light enough and the gold too. But the latter was glazed with a brown ink wash to tone it down - looked very yellow. Too much so.
Ok well I have a slight problem. How to paint my Grudge/Stone Thrower. My first war machine had its frame painted in my army colours (browny/bleached and a blue) I got mixed reviews about it. Now, do I go for the GW way of the metal frame or do I go for the half anf half scheme?

it's been a while since I posted here, but just wanted to say good work ! the runesmith and dwarf lord look very good, and the colour scheme is really effective on the unit with great weapons. for the cannon : you don't have to add rust, but a little brown washes to simulate grease could be suitable. After all, no war machines keeps running without greasing the joints.

Second war machine complete. If I have not mentioned this, the model istelf is nasty, I honestly do not like the scuplt of it and this will probably be the first and last one that looks like this in my army. This being said, it has slightly grown on me. Slightly. For those who saw a previous post of mine about the colours, I opted to keep the theme. It was pointed out to me that this is how I started and their should be a cohierency to my army overall.

Last infantry unit completed. Ironbreakers.
Those with sharp eyes may notice that the command are different to the main look of the unit, as in look darker. This is because I did it a different way, the others I did using a guide of painting metallics on Bugman Brewery - by Kuh' Tathor I believe. A much prefered way, if needing a little refining in my usage.
So, left to do is an Organ Gun; Battle Standard Bearer and two Engineers for my special war machines.

Organ Gun

Organ Gun is completed. Final full piece, all that now remains is the Battle Standard Bearer and two converted engineers.
The organ gun made me realise that I do dislike the plastic war machine kit, you will notice that front is not straight. The rear is just as bad, in fact the who thing is off centre and I dislike it. But the crew are great, well worth the kit!

My two engineers. Converted from parts off the three dwarf plastics; warriors, thunderers and war machines. And a little bit of greenstuff but you may notice that I am not good with that. Still I am rather proud of these two, basic conversions but they look good.

The Battle Standard Bearer. Not much to say here, still have a few things though First things are the pipe in his mouth - blends into his beard too much and that may well blend with the armour a bit but taking the beard lighter and making the pipe gold or wooden did not seem right. The army colours appear in two small places only; a bit of cloth at his back and the book on the banner itself. I decided he needed something still to tie him into my own army.
Now, finally... it is completed. Take a look!

That is my full 1750pt dwarven army complete. I hope you enjoy.
I'll thank you all for the comments you have added to this thread, the ideas, mutterings and general good luck messages. This army has taken me from Januray the first in the planning designs to about four this afternoon, so I am pretty happy with it. Now, I am sick and tired with beards
