Do you lump CMF Evil Dwarf with Fantasy Era Dwarf faction?

Post by Terry Tuffnuts »

Title says it all really? -Do you lump CMF Evil Dwarf with Fantasy Era Dwarf faction?

I keep trying to place them on the same side (because my dwarf faction is my smallest faction) but always end up splitting them because it just doesn't feel right. Thoughts?

All my dwarves are one big happy army, even the LotR and Hobbit Dwarves. I actually went and converted almost all my dwarves to flesh toned minifigs, to better match, since most of them are from LotR and Hobbit sets. Plus I have more spare flesh toned heads than yellow most of the time.

Short answer: yes.

Longer answer: because the CMF Evil Dwarf's head is such a perfect match for the fleshtoned Blackbeard (from Pirates of the Caribbean), I long ago swapped out his head for a less-distinctly-evil one. Sure, his overall vibe is dark, but it's on the dark end of the rest of the Dwarfs and not too discordant. But, technically, without his head, he's not a CMF Evil Dwarf, is he?

Just take the beards and throw them on the torsos from the Fantasy era. I almost never use "stock" figs though, so that's just where my brain immediately goes. :)

Personally, I liked that one enough that I picked up four or five of them, so they're basically their own splinter faction by this point. The real question is where do the Battle Dwarves fit in . . .
