In times of war, the leaders of the clan call the muster and any Dwarfs old enough to fight form into regiments. 

Today on the Monster Hobbies Age Of Sigmar Battlefield Show And Tell we will be looking at Queen Helgar's 40 Dwarf Warriors With Hammer And Shields. 

Dwarfs make formidable fighters - they are strong and extremely resilient, broad of shoulder and wide of girth. Although no means quick, they are physically robust and can maintain a steady plodding pace, marching for days on end despite being loaded down by burdens and heavy mail. 

When they charge into battle, the momentum generated by their wide, armour-clad bodies is remarkable, hitting the foe with a resounding impact. They have broken many enemy battle lines this way, splintering Elven phalanxes, carving through Orc formations and hacking appart great masses of Skaven that make up their verminous armies. 

The Games Workshop made these Dwarf models as a multi-park kit back in 2009 and they were in production until 2019 when Games Workshop phased them out when the Cities Of Sigmar book was released. 

I built these Games Workshop Dwarf Warriors for an army lead by Queen Helgar using 40 different Dwarf warrior figures from a combination of different sources : The Battle For Skull Pass 7th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Starter Set, a box of 16 Dwarf Warriors that was sealed, and a box of 16 Dwarf Warriors that was opened by a customer and partially painted. 

Each Dwarf is armed with a hammer that is identical to their Champion's hammer. The Champion and Icon Bearer came from the The Battle For Skull Pass 7th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Starter Set, and are molded as one piece. The Standard Bearer and Musician are from the 16 Warrior set.

Since I wanted this unit of Dwarf Warriors plastic model kits to look unified, all the models had to have the same hammer design as their champion and a shield icon that would unify all of them. Since I have a lot of spare pieces from over the years, I was able to outfit all the warriors with the "Flying Hammer" shield. I was only missing 6 hammers (With arms) that recently were supplied by Billy Smith which he mailed out from the USA to me in Canada.

I started building Queen Helgar's 40 Dwarf Warriors With Hammer And Shields sometime around Warhammer Age Of Sigmar's initial release in 2015 and in those days the game was an "open sand box" with hardly any army composition rules. 

The concept of this army is based on an idea of "What if the Dwarfs were living with the Wood Elves in Ghyran, The Realm Of Life and instead of all the metal that was easily obtainable in The World That Was couldn't be found in Ghyran and the Dwarfs had to rely on wood instead."

Therefore, this army uses a lot of wood carved items such as banner poles, ax handles, glyphs and runes. They also carry banners with a tree motif to show which realm they come from. There is also a snail on the base of the Champion, a sign that these Dwarfs come from the woods. 

 All these models come molded in grey plastic and I painted them in the colors you see in the video. the build is fun and easy and painting is a delight.
