Three Space Dwarves

Plastic/resin figures from Kromlech. The heads come separately, but are easy to attach with a sort of loose ball and socket connection. They also came with some little fiddly goggle things to go on their helmets, but I left those off for fear they would be too fragile. I plan to use one of the figures as stand-in for a crewman in some games (Five Parsecs from Home and/or Pulp Alley?), who is a space dwarf and former soldier.


When painting figures like this where a large portion of the figure is one color I often struggle with figuring out how much of it and which parts to paint other colors so they aren't too monotone. But at the same time I don't want it to get too fiddly or chaotic. Some of these have some sort of small cylinders in belts, like a belt for bullets, for example. I left the cylinders the same green as the uniform, so far. But not sure if I should. As these are meant for gaming rather than display I will probably leave them as is and call it done.

    1. Thanks! I used some OLD GW metallic green paint for those (the goggles on the middle guy).

    1. Thanks!
      It's tricky for me to tell if I should do more, so it's good to know if people think it's good as is.

      These were my other ebay purchase - maybe I could have bought them off their site. I am tempted to get more to make at least a small unit for some sort of sci-fi skirmish gaming (to go up against space goblins, Phroggs, etc.).

    2. I should NOT have looked up their website.... They make a LOT of really fun little bits and odd miniatures....

    1. Thanks! Now I'm waiting on some more space dwarves from a kickstarter. I think they're a little lighter equipped.

  5. Nice job Fitz, I've looked at Five Parsecs rules & have to say I liked what I seen so will be interested to see them played out whenever you get a round to doing so :0

    1. Thanks! I have a few different miniatures games/rules I want to try. Just a matter of getting things stat-ed up and on the table. Then create some reports.
