Hello all, I have decided that far too much time has been spent not working on my Chaos Dwarves, so I have launched back into the project and hopefully y’all will help me keep going!��
The first CDs I did in April looked like this:
I wanted to do a colour scheme that was a little different, and I carried that over to my helcannon and crew as well.
These worked fairly well, but I found that I wasn’t as excited about the whole project after a bit of time, so I got distracted by some Privateer Press stuff, like this guy:
Once that guy was done, and with all the brilliant stuff going on on the forums, I got back into the CDs and decided to change them up a bit and make them more interesting to paint for me, so I have changed the colour scheme quite radically.��It’s much more chaotic now, less industrial as was mentioned in previous threads, but I like it, and I think I’m going to run with it.��Comments and criticism are welcome!��Please tell me what you think!
:hat off I really like the look of these guys, a big improvment on the ‘industrial’ look if you ask me! what colours did you use for the skin? will you use the same colour-scheme on your hellcannon crew or are they staying the same?
Can’t wait to see the rest of your army, I hope you come up with a really fun army list (as opposed to a win at all costs list) cause these would be great to play against if you do.
hehe, just kinddin’, i like them very much, especially the red beards, they are pretty unique. the mask of the standart bearer rulez, i even wanted to make something like that, too :cheers
Thanks for all the comments!��Right now I’m chopping up some hobgoblins, I’ll put up some pictures in the next couple of days.��I also have to re-base a big unit of orcs, and a unit of black orcs so that they’ll fit with the CDs instead of on their own.
@ Xander:��w00t!��I don’t have a crew+helcannon picture yet, but I certainly could do.��I’ll put one up with the hobgoblins, but as I say it might be a couple of days because I have work+school+research to deal with right now.
@ Ghrask Dragh:��Thanks, I’m really happy with the beards!��The skin colour is a basecoat of Codex Grey, with a wash of Chaos Black to darken it a bit.��After the wash, I highlight again with Codex and then blend up to Bleached Bone.��I think I’m going to leave the helcannon crew as they are for now, because they actually come from my Tzeentch mortals army.��Because I am poor and cheap my CD army is going to consist mostly of what I already have lying around that I can convert.��I’ve got a test Ironbreaker/Immortal that will provide the basis for a big unit of them, and I’ll have some BFSP blunderbusses, and then lots of hobbos/orcs cuz I don’t have to buy new ones
@ Snotling:��coughs in embarrasment��Yes, in fact these are almost entirely Snot-style-CDs, because frankly yours are awesome.��I’m much more of a novice with the GS tho, so these are only a poor imitation :hat off

Khan!
Ya, get some nice pictures, and maybe a picture of all your stuff you have so far. Once you do, I will try to throw up a gallery. No rush, I am still working on some other galleries too.
:hat off
Excellent lava-coloured beards. Work VERY well, especially with your hero’s beard, which, although a simple and obvious conversion, the paint scheme helps to make it look really unique and great. Kudos!
