Dwarf Lords of Legend

Dwarf Lords of Legend

In 1985 the Perry twins sculpted eight models which would become a boxed set called Dwarf Lords of Legend with the artwork done by the amazing John Blanche. There isn't really a backstory to any of these characters, and I think the box became a giveaway prize with a plinth in the Skulz competition. After looking through the last handfuls of dwarfs in my to do box, I found the Baron and Lastro Lupinthrall. I had already painted Kimril Giantslayer, so it became a good time to finish off the paint on them, and take some photos.

Of the eight Lords, I have Kimril Giantslayer, The Baron and Lastro Lupinthrall.

The Baron

An Imperial styled full plate armoured dwarf with a parrying dagger and sword.
An easy model to paint, and quite enjoyable.
Fame: The Baron fought against the mad Count Marius Leitdorf of Averland.

Kimril Giantslayer

Certainly the oldest slayer model I have, Kimril is a little slighter than the bulky slayers that would come after him, but I enjoyed painting him up. 

Fame: The first dwarf Slayer who bested twin giants Thunderguts and Stormbelly.

Lastro Lupinthrall

The baron and Lastro were actually some of my most recent dwarf purchases, and had gone unpainted for many years. I didn't even know they were part of the Lords of Legend until a few months ago, so I set myself to finishing him off in one sitting to join his brothers.
He has the words Hill Tribe Chief on the slotta tag.

Fame: It is said that Lastro was cursed to howl at every full moon by a Norscan witch.
