Heresy Dwarf Hero

Heresy Miniatures is a company I don't talk about enough on this blog. Andy Foster is the primary sculptor and owner of Heresy, and his stuff is just excellent. A while back my buddy Dan ran a Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play game, and I played a Dwarf Engineer. Needing a mini, I turned to Heresy. Andy's Dwarf Inventor/Miner was perfect for my needs. However, having just come into a small supply of tiny rare earth magnets, I went a step further and gave myself some flexibility when it came to my character's weapon selections.

I have yet to magnetize all of the arm options, but the ones I do have done work beautifully, with a small piece of ferrous metal glued to the arm, and the rare earth magnet inserted in body sockets I drilled with my pin vise.





Here is one configuration:







The figure itself is beautifully sculpted, and I could not resist putting him on a 20mm round since I had one handy at the time.

Here is another configuration:





The two-gun mojo thing really works on this guy!

And finally, a "mixed" configuration with hand-weapon and gun:




There's plenty of other great stuff on Andy's site, and one of the coolest things about many of his kits are the elements of choice he includes--multiple heads, arms, etc. Well worth a look!

Weekend Project

I like to assign myself little projects when it comes to miniaturing; it helps me get things done if I have an attainable goal. This weekend I am going to try to finish some or all of my 5 figure Heresy Miniatures Sci-Fi Inspectors. These figures are pure gold when it comes to any sci-fi RPG or miniature skirmish scenario. They'd also make handy special agents (i.e., G.U.A.R.D. or S.H.I.E.L.D.) for a SuperSystem game.

I'm going to use GW's Foundation orange color for the uniforms, with black boots, belts, and accessories.

The wife and I also got a new digital camera, so perhaps these guys will be my first subjects with the new camera.
