Hey folks, I've been lurking around here for the last like, 7 years, but never got started on making a WIP thread until now. For the past few months (actually years, but I just recently kicked it into high gear) I have been collecting as many Khazad-Dum/Moria Dwarves as humanly, or perhaps dwarfishly, possible. If I count the ones that I have en route to me, I'm sitting pretty at somewhere around the 400 model mark, all plastic and metal, none of that stinkin' Finecast, and I'm planning on painting it all up in the classic scheme from Shadow and Flame, bright green and yellow all the way. Gonna be using this page to keep myself motivated, because there's a
lot of painting to do.
This isn't the full list, I haven't accounted for my latest shipment, but this is a good idea to start with of what I've got so far.

And don't think that I don't have any pictures to show, I'm thinking I'll drip feed it, and start y'all off with the few painted models I actually have for this army.
You might notice these aren't especially well painted, and still have a ton of mould lines, just a side effect of a) buying them used like, 10 years ago and not bothering to clean them and b) using them as a test bed for Contrast paints, I think I'm gonna be switching to traditional painting from here on out though. We'll see! Watch this space!
