I am looking for ideas to solve a number of modelling issues I have upcoming.
First off: dwarves, I need to model some miners but I am at a loss as to how to proceed, I was toying with modding a few rangers but does anyone know of an alternate supplier of a comparative range (not 12mm plus like kallistra et al).
Then comes a goblin hewer along with wannabe young troll slayers same again really.
I also could do with some crew for my albion chariots. I have bought kallistra chariots and the horses and chariots are fine but the crew are too big! So any ideas? I am going to use some BOFA stuff, but I do not have enough of them to make up 6 units of chariots.
Any help/images will be much appreciated.

Pendraken norman range - light crossbowmen, has this figure

You could do the following conversion:
Cut the legs to knees high --> now you have a dwarf size human.
Model with greenstuf the beard --> now you have a dwarf
Paint the crossbow (sculpted in a awkard direction) as a mining pike --> now you have a miner dwarf :P
I do not have the figure, this was an idea that my brother gave sometime ago seeing pendraken pics, but think it could work.
I have cut legs of pendraken sassanid persians and put beards (with milliput) and recall dwarfs.
About the other figures.... I do not really understand what you want, so I will take the dictionary :)
hope it helps

Dwarf Cannon crew works great as Miners.... model some wheelbarrows on the stand and some "holes" in the ground and everyone will pick up on that easy
-
Great, just after I given all my spares away :(
So does anyone have any spare dwarf artillery crews?
Looking to make around 4 units (12 stands).
-
Azrael I am afraid I have not artillery crew to spare.... but crossbow dwarfs from irregular miniatures could make miners if you paint the crossbow as a pike. I give you two pics, they are not too good photograph but the dwarf is holding the crossbow down, so it seems like a pike.

How a albion charioteer looks like? If it is celtic fashion, maybe irregular celtic chariots could cover your need. The charioteer do not have too much detail, and is a little small compared with GW figures. It has two men cast in one piece. And they are cheap.
If you are interested, ask and I could take a shoot compared with some GW figure :)
I think pendraken also have briton chariots, but I do not know how are the figures
-
Pics would be good.
The chariots are pendraken/kallistra but the crews are just too large for my tastes.
-
Here it comes the pics
My figure of chrioteer has a cast defect, so the sword is not filled enough, should be a little longer in a OK cast. My celt seems to carry a knige :)
Hope you can see properly the two charioteer in the pic, if you do not identify (because is bare metal), do not hestite to ask and I will imprime or wash the figure and take another shot.
I have try to compare with some very known GW charioteers and also chariot.
