Titan Dwarf army reinforced

To be truly complete, my Titan Dwarf army for 15mm-scale Sláine Hordes of the Things will need a Stronghold (I'm going to model a mine entrance defended by the last few dwarves that I have left to paint).  However, here finally is the complete army!  I have added a second titan as an option if two of the dwarf warriors elements are swapped-out in exchange. The default army list is: 

Lord (Blades General) @ 2 AP
Priest of Goibiniu
(Cleric) @ 3 AP
3 x Warriors with magic axes (Blades) @ 2 AP each
3 x Warriors with spears (Spears) @ 2 AP each
Bolt Thrower
(Artillery) @ 3 AP
Titan
(Behemoth) @ 4 AP

Lots of photos of the army after the jump break:

Titan Dwarf army

This weekend I also finished my first army for Hordes of the Things Using 2000 AD's ancient Britain setting of Sláine, I've been working on several standard (24 AP) size armies - here are my Titan Dwarves.  A conmpleted army is a rarity for me - I'm pleased with how these turned out.  Compared to the more barbaric Tribes of the Earth Goddess, the Berzerkers of Midgard, & the Fomorian hordes, these dwarves are a professional army with a good balance of units. The roster is:

Lord (Blades General) @ 2 AP
Priest of Goibiniu (Cleric) @ 3 AP
3 x Warriors with magic axes (Blades) @ 2 AP each
3 x Warriors with spears (Spears) @ 2 AP each
Bolt Thrower (Artillery) @ 3 AP
Titan (Behemoth) @ 4 AP

I also couldn't resist adding another Titan as an option, if the dwarf player wants to go for a more brutal approach, by swapping out two of the warriors elements in exchange - painting is underway on this second Titan...  Lots of photos after the jump break!

Titan (Giant)

Another element for 15mm-scale Sláine Hordes of the Things finished.  My Titan Dwarf army now has this Behemoth element: an actual Titan.  The Titans in the world of Sláine are the degenerate former rulers of Tír na nÓg (the Land of the Young: a prehistoric, mythical British Isles).  They were once masters of an advanced domain, but while their cousins the Titan Dwarves have retained their intellect (& skills at imbuing weapons with magic), the Titans have dwindled in number & intelligence, becoming little more than slow-witted inbred brutes, their glory days forgotten to all but a handful of their number.  

I've painted this Titan wearing shields from my planned Midgard Berzerkers & Tribes of the Tuatha Dé Danann (Tribes of the Earth Goddess, Danu).  The white/blue for Midgard, the yellow-swirls-on-red for Sláine's Sessair tribe, & the yellow/red/white tartan for the Fir Domain tribe. This characterful giant figure is from Copplestone Castings' Barbarica range.  The range has fantastic sculpting - very detailed, with absolute minimal mould lines.
