So, what has been going on?

There haven't been all the time in the world to work with the miniatures since my last update. I've been busy with work and other activities, but that's just how it is when you don't have any specific deadline to work toward. Still, the Easter hollidays have been very good for me when it comes to miniature work.

The Dwarf Ironbreakers are almost done, they will be done by Sunday at the latest.
Joseph Bugman is finished, based and ready to go to battle (or to the closest watering hole to test the local brew). He doesn't look too intimidating with the crossbow on his back and a mug in one hand.
King Alrik and his shieldbearers are based (well, only the shieldbearers really, as King Alrik stands on the shield they carry) and ready to lead the dwarfs in battle. They have been standing ready painted in the workshop since the last update.
The old sculpt of the Dwarf Engineer is comming along nicely, and is close to completion. I just need to paint his pick and helmet.
The dwarf cannon and crew is almost done, just a few details and cleanup left before they are ready to follow King Alrik into battle.

Since I removed King Alrik and his shieldbearers and Joseph Bugman from my mobile workstation I had to add something new. So I went down to the basement and found myself a Dwarf Thunderer Lord sculpted by Avatars of War. I hope this mini will fit nicely into my dwarfs and be a great leader for my thunderers in friendly games. I might not be allowed to use him in some tournaments, but for most of the time my minis will be standing on display or being used for friendly games so I think he will be ok.

I've also added a new Space Marine Captain to be painted up. This is a captain from the Black Reach box and he looks relly powerful and fearsome. In a lot of ways he look a lot more like a commanding officer than my Commander, but I guess this can be explained with the fact that the commander has been more of an HQ type and not been in as many battles and therefore not decorated as much as the Captain.

The Devastators that I have painted have also been based, but I need to decide if they should have all-black gravel on their base or a mix of black and yellow-brown. I reacon I'll end up painting the brown-yellow black as this probably will look better than the mix.
I will make a decition on this in the near future as this will give me a little extra work. But everything to make the best look for the Marines...

I also based a small bunch of night goblins. Two squig herders, three squigs, a netter. the first two goblins of my second core unit and two figures that I suspect really is Chaos followers (one looks like a Goblin has been attending the KKK and the other look like a snotling walking on a new pair of stilts). Also I have finally based my Goblin King (an Avatars of War miniature).
