Hi

I know this area is for role-playing but I’m hoping your experiences may assist me.

My interest is in making wargame sized figures but for the past year and more Life has prevented me from following this hobby. To assist my recovery I’ve been provided with a box of Games Workshop’s Dwarf Miners with the suggestion that I build and paint them for a competition a local shop will be holding in September.

I’d like to make them into a unit of Discworld miners but they have however to still comply with the Rules for GW’s Warhammer.

So far the figures come with candles on their helmets. They have picks, which I will need to convert to the tradition Discworld one of having an axe head on one side.

I am thinking of adding items of dwarf bread, the occasional set of high heels and may convert the command group into having Knockermen armour. (the rules however wont allow the flame lance)

I don’t remember reading much about the Discworld mining procedures – for instants do they use blasting powders or the equivalent of sticks of dynamite? Or other hand held mechanical devices?

I would be grateful for any suggestions on additions I can give this unit to give the appearance that they are from Discworld.

Many Thanks
