Därr'n Clan Dwarves Comparison

You'll probably notice that I haven't been posting as many "personal" figures lately - which is both a good and a bad thing! As I am now selling through quite a few online resellers (including G.I.Brick, ToyWiz/Brick Arsenal, and Brick Warriors), I am spending a lot of my time working on "work" figures. However, I still get in the mood to make a special figure just for me, or in this case, four. I usually don't give a lot of back story on the inspiration for figures, but I am on these guys: I recently bought the Mines of Moria Lord of the Rings set, and I have to say that it is one of my all-time favorite sets (and surprisingly not just because of the minifigures)! I love the modularity, playability, and possibility for expansion it provides, and I have lately had quite a few scenes where my Castle explorers find a Dwarven crypt filled with treasures (and many dangers). This set made me decide to do a large-scale MOC which will be a Dwarven ruins which includes a grave room (it'll have built in wall graves for the more "common" dwarves, as well as the King of the Dwarves crypt (and his treasure room). As I've been doing this, I wanted to make Dwarves of various clans to use within the ruins (or are they ruins...). The clan members that I posted here are from the Därr'n Clan, which I wanted to be the religious/mystical clan of the dwarves - they practice their own form of magic, and are masters at imbibing their weapons with spells to strengthen, sharpen, and add other powers to them. They tend to use stones as their weapons, but wood for their shields, which are often reflective of the battles they have been in. I hope you enjoy these first 4 clan members!
