[Archive] My first painted "C"D

snowblizz:

Basically I’ve managed to put paint on my first “Chaos” Dwarf.

Some of you might remember the model from when I was debating shoulder pads and paint scheme. As usual I sorta split the difference and went with both options I liked :slight_smile:

There’s something weird with the colours so they aren’t quite accurate, I’ll have to see if I can get natural light tomorrow.

In the end it turned out to be impossible to avoid the purple “thing” I’ve got going, but it won’t be a major colour. I just needed a regal looking colour for the cloak, I also experimented with blending wet. Paint dries way too quickly here for it to work satisfactory so it’s a bit rough. There’s several “front” shots as I couldn’t get the colour quite right in the editor  he is standing on a white paper :o. I had a really good program that came with the camera that fixed it exactly right but I can’t find it anymore.

I probably could ramble on just to procrastinate so here’s the pics: [hides from criticism]

EDIT: updated 2 pics to a brighter format. The other angles turned even darker, same set up, same light, Go figure.

Swissdictator:

Snowblizz that looks really nice. He looks tough like a Chaos Dwarf should, with just the right attitude of "yeah, when you’re big enough to fight real battles I’ll challenge you"

Very cool!

Zanko:

Impressive helmet!!! :smiley:

Really awesome cornets!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

To be serious … I like your colour scheme and also your conversion!!! This guy would fit perfectly in my 3rd edition army!!! :slight_smile:

Hazkar:

Hazkar
Yes, he actually can. I made sure of it, I even had pics somewhere but they were blurry and I seem to have deleted them. That's one reason why he has a rock to stand on :) (found the pics, thank Hashut I'm not tidy even on PB )


@all
Thanks for the positive feedback. I guess I feel a bit better going toward a possible more models painted. Don't hold your breaths though. Got some DoC to finish, and I haven't undercoated the rest of the potential "Chaos" Dwarfs or Dawi Uzkul as I usually say. When it gets a bit warmer outside...
And I got the gangGREEN with a recent purchase of Orcs.

Border Reiver:

Nicely painted, the blending is a little rough, but that’s to be expected for your first few pieces.

Is your lad trying to compensate for something with those horns?

Sojourn:

excellent snowblizz. I love purple being added into the colour scheme! looks great! how many more? :wink:

Kera foehunter:

Hazkar
This guy + horns from a daemon he has heroically vanquished and then bound into service (actually 40k CSM Tzeentch icon) and 2 marauder axes and shoulder pads, spikes from another manufaturer.

Hazkar:

cool stuff

i find a conversion always more impressive when i know what its made from

Ghrask Dragh:

Excellent conversion mate!! One of the most evil looking dwarfs around here :slight_smile:

I hope this success has made you want to do more

Kera foehunter:
