Hi all im looking for some dwarfs on ebay and I found these:  However, I am not very convinced about the detail. All the casts look a bit dodgy and there are many floppy looking bit do you reckon they are 'fake' or non-GW casted?  advice verymuch welcomed

They're the GW Dwarf Warriors http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... od1500392a Not the most detailed casts they've done, but like with the Mines of Moria plastic fellowship, a bit of work, and being a decent painter can get them looking really good

they're decent miniatures. I really enjoy painting them, but they are not the most detailed minis. There's an article on painting them on this site by Bart (thebucklandbrewer) http://www.one-ring.co.uk/kb.php?a=178 If you scroll to the bottom, you'll find them. |

Looks like a few of them have had axe heads swaps, just small conversion I'd say they're genuine like! |

None of them have been converted I think actually. They are all 100% GW Dwarf Warriors. I guess you didn't realise how poor some of the sculpts are. I told my local GW how poor sculpts I thought the dwarves were, and he actually said that the WoMT were worse, I think not. |

mmm... maybe its just the ruined detail that looks odd @gothmogthewerewolf: Are you sure they're not converted? what about that dwarf with the double bladed axe at the back? do you think the metal versions are much better? |

Yep defo conversions there, I own over sixty dwarf warriors and no shield armed guys have a double sided axe! Plus there's also identical sculpts there with different axes. I actually like the dwarf sculpts and womt there simple but that doesn't necessarily make them bad! I'd say he's under coated/repainted them with chaos black paint rather than spray and so lost some detail that way. Metal versions are nice to add new poses and break up the dwarf warriors a bit, but I like the plastics better..more armouryryry lookin'  Anyway good luck bidding! |

I see, never seen the spruesm assumed the weapons were interchangeable. But then, I rembered the sculpts were so poor. The metals look way better. |
