Hello forum,
Thought I would maintain a small presence here. My blog is about my own Imagi-Nations version of the re-taking of Moria. Dwarf clans of many worlds and fictions come together to re-colonize the lost kingdoms of their ancestors. Yes, I am mixing fluff, just like I am mixing miniatures companies. But I always do so with a general Oldhammer direction in mind, I will be using a housebrew mix of rules based on Warhammer 1st edition with elements of LOTR SBG, Song of Blades, and even Lion Rampant. See my blog for more details of this project. On to highlights of the post...
Full post from here:

Morale is about to be boosted in Moria... the beer cart has arrived! Dwarves take their beer seriously and this shipment is guarded by none other than Prince Ulther's Imperial Dwarfs. Hmm... maybe I should have read the fluff before assembling them. Apparently, they are also known as the Dragon Company, but I didnt get any shields with these guys in a trade. So, I scoured my bits box and found these lion shields that are for older Empire spearmen (5th edition box set, maybe?) I like them, so now they are called Prince Ulther's Lion Company. Im still missing the banner bearer, musician, and the 2nd in command figure. Im waiting for a reasonable price on ebay for those.
Here they are on the road to Moria
Bugman's Beer Cart in all its hop-tastic glory
I think the lion shields look great on these lil fellas
Prince Ulther himself, not a dwarf who should be trifled with.
So off they go on the road to Moria... will they make it without mishap? Tune in next post!

Just realized its Cinco de Mayo! How appropriate that my post has a beer cart. Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!
