Kitbash challenge - Vermintide

I wanted to create a Dwarf, but realised the only kits I have available are the Mantic Games standard dwarf minis that sadly I have gone off aesthetically in a big way.

The body was always going to be a problem. I could cut off the legs of a standard human miniature and use a pair of Dwarf feet but a lack of a belly and squat features might be too far for people to stretch credulity with me.

I found a Mantic Games Orc miniature body that I felt could pass stature wise as a Dwarf once the legs were hacked off. Sadly the wide gate of the orc meant some leg would still be showing even when cut right up under the body. So some Greenstuff came in useful to make the pleats of a kilt to hide the remnants of the offending left leg.

The right arm is from the Mantic Games orc sprue, but with the weapon hand cut off and a Mantic Games dwarf right open hand glued on.

The left arm was attached to the body, so I cut it back to the elbow and put a Mantic Games dwarf cannon crew sprue smoking a pipe left arm instead. The only trouble was this didn’t quite match up for thickness of arm etc, so I Greenstuffed some chain mail over the top of the join.

The feet were from the Mantic Games dwarf cannon crew sprue. I assume they were just for fun basing potential, a jibe at the times that sadly dwarf tech can blow up in your face and blasts you clesn out of your boots.

The pistol is made from the Mantic Games dwarf gun butt. The sprue allows you to make guns or crossbows from the same gun butt. I chose to cut the end off of one of the dwarf gun barrels and use that to make my pistol. No flintlock or hammer at all, but I am happy to suspend disbelief.

The two-handed war hammer is from a Mantic Games dwarf sprue.
