The guy with the red beard, Gimli! I am impressed. Man if the elves are this good.

Anyway, has anyone else felt the same upon actually having dwarves in hand?
Yes, I love the Dwarves, only 1 thing about them is thier HUGE winged helms. don't really prefer them.

And I usually use the HUGE axe. I hate that it' so big. And the hammer? no way, I know a much nicer looking design, and much smaller.
who ever finds the Golden Sword of the ancient Kings is just a lucky person.

I like to arm my dwarves with hammers, viking short axe and shield, or viking long axe.

You can also put an axe head on a normal spear. that is kinda cool.

I'm thinking about picking up the dwarf's mine set. A local shop has it for ...100$ .. but yeah, those are the prices here, and this one set isn't even that steep. Most sets are at least double the price than in the US.

I'm not a huge fan of crownie armour, so I might put those dwarfs and trolls to good use.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy it from amazon or something?

hmm, i just quickly translated that into euro, and realized that I bought the mine from a store here in helsinki for almost that sum, which was 58,90€ ($92,8).

I just checked and they don't have the dwarf's mine until july... so I ordered the siege tower attack (7037). And maybe I'll order the Mine defender for that one dwarf. Are these sets available in the US? I find it odd that they're already out here.

I just obtained my very first dwarf in the mine defender set today and after assembling him I can only say that the Dwarves mine is on the purchasing horizon most certainly now.
