MESBG Proxies: Iron Hills on a Budget!

[@wayneclarke3152]

Love those Rambuk Raiders, fallen out of love with GW recently so these are a great replacement...

[@RabtasticPaints]

They're great models! A little on the chunky side, but I think that works for Dwarves.

[@smoothbrush4722]

Awesome alternative, the captain with the feathers helmet in hand really looks like the one in the movies.

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you bud! For some reason, the captain/banner sprue has a lot of Pirate-themed stuff 😂

[@TheWizardsBrush]

Man yeah that is so worth it for paying that much less. They look good, nice paint job too 🔥

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you mate! The models were a joy to paint as their faces were a little bigger than GW sculpts 😂

[@TheWizardsBrush]

@RabtasticPaints oh god yeah the faces on some on some of the GW Sculpts especially in the helmets are nightmares.

[@GuildloreGaming]

What a sexy sounding news reader at the start there! Aye, I agree, the gw prices are getting very hard to justify. I did my black Numenorians using Fireforge models as the base, some great sculpts!

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you for the clip, mate I'll have to look at some other models!

[@braveryisavirtue]

If 3D printed doesn't bother you then you can get a great army bundle of Davale "Silver goat dwarves" from Hammerline Minatures. For £40 you get Dain on boar and foot, captain on goat and foot, 12 spear and shields, 6 with crossbow and six with hammers. If you want some goat riders they are £16 for 6. Bargain.

[@RabtasticPaints]

They are really good models! I got Dain/Thorin/Dwalin printed from Dandelion. I just think these are a little bit more accessible for folk.

[@jolewy5397]

If i can help someone i will say that the best proxy army for iron hills is Dandelion miniatures, i have the entire stl and is like a 95% the same as GW ones.

[@RabtasticPaints]

I love them! I've got all Dain, Dwalin and Balin from there.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

An excellent video well described and very relaxing,just subbed

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@christopherpeery7436]

Turned out great!

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised 😂

[@varchilde]

Great video and great looking proxies!

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you! I really appreciate that.

[@tiny_worlds]

They look awesome. I'd spend the same amount but just have 4 armies for the price of one. :)

[@RabtasticPaints]

Oh the temptation is absolutely there... 😂

[@lord17c]

great looking minis. I need to look around in the US to see if I can find something similar. the GW prices are just terrible.

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you! Unsure what the postage would be over to you, but might be worth a look. Maybe they have an American stocker.

[@bonkstrum9555]

On ebay there's a few game stores that stock there stuff.

[@minilotr]

Great looking dwarves! 😃 love to see it! 😃

[@RabtasticPaints]

I knew you'd love them, mate!

[@minilotr]

@RabtasticPaints really want some for myself now 😃

[@RabtasticPaints]

@@minilotr do iiiiit!

[@jamesmaclennan4525]

I proxied a full army of Thror using Oathmark Dwarves which are even better value for money infantry wise.

[@RabtasticPaints]

I've seen those! I reckon the Hammerers could do a job for Army of Thror as well.

[@AnzumanaTaal]

Your thumbnail should somehow include your awesome paint job. a lot of videos are often just 3D print xyz but not painted up models

[@RabtasticPaints]

Thank you! I didn't regard the paintjob that highly, so I appreciate that

[@Don_Juan89]

Are there enough Spears for everyone?

[@RabtasticPaints]

More than enough! Each Warrior box has 12 spears AND 12 swords. So you'll have plenty left over.

[@Jewus19]

you can finally leave the useless front line spears at home! Even better than spears for everyone!

[@PaulJohn01]

No matter how many times i've heard about players complaining about GW price rises ( many years now ) players still seem desperate to give GW their hard earned money.

[@m3lv1n19]

Definitely worth looking for proxies as GW cost continues to rise 😢

[@RabtasticPaints]

@@m3lv1n19 absolutely!

[@tomjordan7606]

Fireforge games for the fucking win

[@RabtasticPaints]

First time using them, definitely not the last.

[@tomjordan7606]

@RabtasticPaints honestly i fucking adore their samurai model kits and ashigaru. 24 models for 22.50 How gw hasn't ended up dead yet with all the price hikes? i have no idea

[@RabtasticPaints]

@@tomjordan7606 name recognition is saving them! Those samurai look so cool! I saw them at a local convention and regret not picking them up.

[@Nobleshield]

GW prices really are ridiculous

[@RabtasticPaints]

Recently increased too!

[@shauntaylor9251]

There must come a point where they will price themselves out of a large amount of sales , some people will pay whatever they cost though . GW have also moved a fair number of items to direct online sale only recently , cutting out the LGS and the discounting

[@RabtasticPaints]

@@shauntaylor9251 I can only hope that they see sense. Make the hobby cheaper and more accessible = More people playing and buying models

[@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

Another meta chaser. Think they'd be class for old world

[@RabtasticPaints]

I've taken Grey Company and Breaking of The Fellowship this year 😂😂😂 Not exactly meta.

[@Jewus19]

Iron hills arent anywhere near any meta.

[@RabtasticPaints]

@@Jewus19 tell him! 😂

[@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

@@Jewus19 didn't ironhills + loth win the gbhl last year?

[@Jewus19]

@@JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth of course there May be some soup list somewhere on this earth that won a Tournament. That has nothing to do with rabtastics great alternative Iron Hills Army. He even included mattocks! 😆 Also no soup in sight.

[@13Hamdizzle]

What you going to do with the money saved mate? Fleece yer pals ae

[@RabtasticPaints]

I'm going to invest it in a local game store 😂

[@cameronlaw8383]

You might be able to afford Sky TV!?

[@RabtasticPaints]
