Á Durins Bard, this looks simply awesome!
I love all those little details.
Wish I had the ideas and patience to do such. Maybe one day.

Wonderful concept and colourwork! Excellent details. Is the recurrent crossed square motif mayhap a clan symbol, stronghold icon, ancestral rune or suchlike?
The shield and axe designs are particularly nice, as is the angular pattern on his blue pants.
I am particularly thrilled to see the amount of equipment baggage the Dwarf is carrying about him, including the rope bundle visible above his right shoulder. Perfect design from you as always!
You know, I've always built my Dwarfs in this manner, ever since I first got my hands on three multipart plastic Dwarf Warrior kits from Games Workshop at age 13: The kits came with lots of kegs, pipes, pints, bolt quivers, loose axes and crossbows, belt bags and so on. I used them all, and turned my first plastic Dwarfs into overburdened pack animals armed to the teeth. And I've never stopped doing it like that, come to think of it. Although Chaos Dwarfs I dabble with tend to get less equipment than proper Hold Dwarves, since Chaos Dwarfs might tend to load much of the less critical baggage onto porter slaves and focus on wearing their tall hats high without toppling...
I look forward to the day collectors will be able to hold this fine Dwarf fellow in their hands!

Thank you so much!
This symbol is a binding rune, a combination of 2 or more runes used for magic and enchanting. It is a rune of protection.
I also love to give them all sorts of gear, and every time I played a Dwarf I had a very detailed list of his equipment in hand all times. I am working on a new piece you will enjoy, it is a breakdown of gear in the style you see on Osprey books plates.
Thank you for dropping by!
