Black dwarf warriors.
« on: September 26, 2012, 18:19:47 »
Hi all!
The green colour-and most of the outfit-of the new dwarf Fi?ure looks almost exactly like the "Green dragon knights" one (in my book these guys are still elves), AND I got more and more convinced that a mining, rocky hills dwelling nation like the dwarves would be wearing more earthy, dark coloured clothing, so I changed my dwarves' outfits from mostly bright green to black.
So here they are, back in black-I hope you like them! :)
The most valiant knights are made of German plastic!!!

My oh my, those are...wondeful!

You're right, the Dwarf Fi?ure is in the wrong colors. At least the legs themselves and boots are a reasonable color for reuse as you have done.

I love your dwarf army, I really must assemble one myself now that it's been made easier. I hope that now they've made a mold for Dwarf legs they'll use it again for a Dwarf Special, and not give him ridiculous bright blue or orange boots.

Those look great! The black works nicely and I agree it is more appropriate for them

I agree - yours look great! The original, besides being.. well.. NOT original, does have that problem.. is not very "right" for most people's view of a dwarf! :)

Nice arrangements of dwarfs... hopefully Playmobil isn't planning on only using those legs once or in just one color  :lol:
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

Erik, you must have been reading my mind! Black was my first thought when you showed your green dwarves. Green fits for rangers and forest dwelling creatures such as elves, but how could a dwarf be a ranger with such a short stride!  :lol:
I especially like the one with the romans swords on his back. Those old studded torsos work perfectly on your dwarves. Nice job!
Can't wait to have mine!!!
