As commanded by The Bevie!
Our Kings of War Dwarf army is founded with the completion of the first unit of Berserker Dwarf Brock Riders and the Berserker Dwarf Hero on Brock.
Now she'll have to get to naming them!
These are great and inexpensive models that I built with very little clean up or prep. They are pretty characterful with expressive faces.
I painted up all the extra arms and heads from the kit which gets me about halfway to the next unit... in arms and heads anyway!
The unit comes with a brock cape for every rider but I elected to leave those off except for the unit champion and standard bearer. The cape makes the figures very stable on the brock but the overall effect was very very gray... especially on these gray bases. I went with gray bases because Bevie wants to use dwarf themed movement trays. Those are Dwarf Hold stone gray and once I get them in I'll color-match the base with the movement tray or vice versa. I think the little bit of color from the cape-less dwarfs makes the unit stand out better.
As I like to build my fantasy armies to be compatible with 3rd Edition WHFB lists I'm at a bit of a loss with these. No dwarf cav in that list, and certainly not Slayer cav!
That said I also elected to not paint the whole unit with Slayer orange hair... I like the more Nordic feel these guys have.
