Now that I have two of an identical model, painted over a year apart – I thought it would be neat to do a side-by-side comparison of the two and evaluate how my painting skills are progressing (or not). In both April of 2015, and August of 2016 I painted this version of the Dwarf Slayer.

This Slayer has experienced a fate far worse than death for any Dwarf that has taken the Slayer oath — being captured! In the Warhammer fluff, Dwarf Slayers are those who have been shamed in some way — Breaking an Oath, failing to exact retribution for a family or clan grudge when given the opportunity, etc. The shame of this kind of thing causes them such grief that they shave their hair into a stiff mohawk, dye their remaining hair & beards bright orange, and swear blood oath to never rest until they find an honourable death in battle against the mightiest of foes.
