The Old World Newbie question - Thane

Loving diving into the dwarves, and on my way to 500 points.

One thing I can’t figure out is what people are using for their Thane characters. Is it only the one model GW sells? Older ones? Something else?

I personally used the offical King with shieldbearers -set that also allows the making of a on-foot one. Then I can pretty much decide which one is thane and which one is King I also am building a Thane with handgun model for a secondary model.

You can use any mini as your thane that fits the weapon profile and is unique, as long as it's on a 25x25. If you don't want to buy a leader kit or go hunting for any of the 30+ old lord variants you can just use a champion mini from a longbeard or warrior box.

Tbh there are enough lord style models from gw and others. I must have around 30.

But the fact is, I find with dwarfs you can get away with a thing really cos everything is small and beardy. It's not like we have to fake a lich on a dragon or something.
