Dwarves and Lizards and a Walking Tree

First, a dwarf merchant and some dwarf fighters from the dwarven kingdom of Firestone. Figures are from Foundry.
Assorted dwarf swordsmen, gunners, and wizard, either from the dwarven kingdom of Beerstone or among the wandering Freestone dwarves. More Foundry figures.
 
Blue skink shaman and large chameleon pet/familiar/mascot. GW figures.
Old GW (or possibly Citadel) metal skeleton, with newer plastic shield. (A little tribute to Ray Harryhausen)
 Large plastic treeman from the Reaper "bones" line. The head and arms were separate, but had deep well-fitted connections making it a breeze to put together for a strong finished piece. Could make for a good forest-based monster or a creature or construct under control of a forest or jungle-dwelling shaman.

Firestone Dwarves

Firestone dwarves are from a different region from the Beerstone dwarves, off in a range of mountains to the southeast, and there are fewer of them. They are more "modern", making greater use of gunpowder weapons and often dressing in more Renaissance-like garments and armor, adopted from their closest human neighbors.

Firestone Pikes - old GW or Citadel minis
The Dragonfire Guard, armed with axes and a pair of pistols - I think these are an old GW "Regiment of Renown"

The artillery - an organ gun and a cannon - more GW/Citadel minis

Assorted characters and leaders - the pair on the left is a single Foundry mini. Most of the others are GW or Citadel. Not sure about the second and third from the left. On the fourth one I swapped out a hand holding a brand to fire a cannon with a hand holding a sword. The last 2 I added moustaches and "beefed up" the nose of the wizard as it got overwhelmed by the whiskers!)



Some more Foundry dwarves.
