We won't take any Bull

Here's another look back at my 2012 Civil War Dwarf team tournament army.

I made two units of Bull Centaurs, mostly scratch built.

I used plastic bull figures from a craft store, Ogre Kingdoms bits, and lots of Aproxy Sculpt!

Here's a post showing how they were constructed:

You can probably tell from those images that I abandoned the Ogre banner for my own printed versions.  As with everything else in this army, I had to match what my partner had done with his army.

He had created a ton of printed banners for his Iron Brigade, so that meant I needed to mirror that.

It was still very fun!

These units were mostly for flavor... since what respectable Confederate army would not have JEB Stuart?

I am hoping to get back to these and do much more finishing detail on the figures.

In the meantime... the Wretched Alliance of Appomattox continues!

Marse Robert shall lead them

This was one of the most unique armies I have ever made.  A few years ago, Marty and I decided to do the WFB team tournament at Adepticon.

He had already made a sizeable Fantasy Dwarf army themed after the Iron Brigade.  He sculpted thier very unique hats, made specific unit flags, and so on.

We thought that it might be fun to do a crazy allied army set of Dwarves and Chaos Dwarfs.

The concept was that as the two enemies fought constantly against each other, many other races had infested their territories.  They were both pushed to Appomattox Court House, where the Wretched Alliance of Appomattox was formed.

The 'Union' side would provide more pure firepower, while the 'Confederate', or Chaos Dwarfs, would dabble in magic!

I have a number of posts on the construction of this army, including posts showing how these dwarves were converted...

Each one was given different equipment, and I tried to vary the colors on each one, in true butternut and gray fashion!

I had to change my painting approach with these guys to match what Marty had done.  Most significantly, that meant using metallic paints.

Yes, you heard that right!  I also had to simplify the usual color arrangements.  If I ever get some free time, I do want to rework them and get more details, etc.

In any case, it was a tremendous amount of fun!  We also had a blast making the display board!

Here's Bobby Lee!!  With Traveller...

I con't remember which spells he ended up using most.  There were not too many chances to do that :-)

More posts from the army on the way!  Stay tuned.
