It's been a while since I've painted dwarfs but I'm trying to build up an army for Kings of War. These guys had a rough, pitted layer of black primer which didn't make painted too terrible, but it really caused the Minwax wood stain to really cling to the surfaces more than usual, making them darker than the others I painted in the same way. Not so much that they would really stand out, just different from my own eye.
Anyways, it's three figures off the plastic pile that's been gathering dust for years, so I'm pretty excited to get them done.
