This blog is about my hobby: collecting and painting miniatures (mainly fantasy) and playing epic Warhammer battles (mainly 3rd edition). The blog's name is a contraction of Old Metal (lead miniatures referring to Oldhammer) and the famous song 'Metal Militia' from Metallica (yes, I'm a great fan of Metal music).
Although they live in their own citadels (like Kraka Drak or Kraka Ornsmotek) within the mountains of Norsca, the Norse Dwarfs are incorporated in the Norse army along their human allies.
Here are twelve tattooed old school miniatures that could be aligned as Norse Dwarf Berserkers or Norse Dwarf Troll Slayers.
Plus five plastic Norse Dwarf Warriors to complete an existing unit (now 40 warriors with this addition).
Joining the Reiksguard is considered a military and social honour amongst the nobility, and barons, dukes and counts clamour to have their sons accepted in such an acclaimed brotherhood. The Reiksguards are the personal guards of the Emperor. They also protects his domains and march to war under his banner.
I've started painting this unit something like 25 years ago... 12 of them were completeled, but - of course - the paintjob was not to my current standards. So I've repainted them along with the 8 others.
