Border Reiver:
Normally, I don’t care for the “mini-chaos warrior” look - it doesn’t feel original enough for a different army, but you have created an army that definitely overcomes this prejudice of mine!
Your hero is fantastic and the swappable left arms are bloody brilliant!
The BCs have an interesting look to them, and I hope to see more of this army, particularly once you have painted some of it.
Hrothgar Goldgreed:
The sneaky gitz are really, really cool. You didn’t explain how you did 'em yet, did you?
Willmark:
Anyhow, here are the progress pics;I would buy that [[BFSP]] lord if he were available, that is amazing. Makes my own use of the same figure look paltry in comparison.

this is the sketch I made in the beginnig of the project, and was how I wanted the model to look like in the end.

started by giving a BFSP dwarf hero his deserved treatment :D

started to roughly sketch the models pose with blu-tac.

I made new boots out of greenstuff, and placed him on a styrofoam rock. I had a hard time making him stick, so the boots got messed up, but I fixed it once the gs had harden.

added beard armour.

added shoulderpads, and bannerpoles.
Once it was time to glue the shield, I felt bad having to hide 1/3 of all details with a huge shield. It was then I decided to make the arm removable, I then also made an extra arm, carrying an additional hand weapon.

Swissdictator:
Amazing work on that character. Once primed, let alone painted, it’ll be VERY hard to figure out that it was converted! It looks very natural, again good work.
The Sneaky Gits are also dynamic, without being exaggerated. That may be worth investing in Plague Monks.
m3lvin:
It’s really been a while since I updated here, and I’m as sorry as you about that.
School started again and I got in no way as much spare time as I got before.
The small amount of time I’ve spent on my CDs these past weeks has been mostly artwork, commissions for the Indy GT army book.
I’ve posted all the pictures I made to the book in the artwork section,
why don’t check it out? :cheers
watchtowers, blackorcs and more!
I’ve also done some work to the upcoming WoH magazine (hush, hush), but you’ll just have to wait for that. 
As said, Its going slow on the miniatures front… but least I have to show you something, (or else this wouldn’t be an update would it? :))
The Hero/Lord got some banners:
The very early stages of an shadow sorcerer (not to happy with the scroll) :
Thats all for now,… and I PROMISE it wont take as long for the next update! 
:cheers

Bazil:
This is amazing m3lvin almost precisely how I envisioned the Chaos Dwarfs. Keep up the amazing work.
I cant wait to see what you have planned for an Earthshaker
m3lvin:
Time for a small update again, I finally finished my bolt thrower tutorial.
I will post this under “conversions” aswell.
Painted, and more detailed pictures on them will come later on.
:cheers
/melv
Bazil:
I am awe struck with that Bolt Thrower
Hastein:
… You’re a monster you know that ?
Willmark:
Holy crap that is awesome!
Loki:
That is beyond words :o great job on everything, the CD lord is amazing i cant wait to see him painted please keep this awesome stuff coming 
m3lvin:
Yessss, It’s good to be back!
Things at school starts to cool down and I’m done with all various commissions, which means I now have more time to spend on my miniatures!
My great weapon chaos dwarfs are now ready for baseing, and I started making my own movement trays, (perhaps a small tutorial on that aswell?)
When I’m completly done basing the models I will post better pictures in the conversion corner,.
These pictures will have to do for now.

I also got another project up and going.
I mentioned in this blog earlier, that I would make both a scratch built taurus and Lammasu.
And after I posted the poll concerning a masked Lammasu I felt as duty to make one, to enlighten you with my vision 
and a certain competition, cough golden hat cough gave me a reason to start off.
Working in the same order as I did with my hero, I’ve started with making a sketch,. to build up my idea which I later try to stick to as much as possible.
and here are the very first progress pic’s.
the stone
stone with legs
working on the skeleton for the tail and upper body. I lead the two wires togheter, but later I found that a hot glue gun work just as good.

And that’s all for now,. I will continue my work tomorrow, and hopefully update later that evening.
If the work goes along as planned, I will start updating very frequently from now on, and it feels gooood.
:cheers everyone.

If I were you Id wait to post pictures of this if you are going to enter it in GHX, otherwise post away as Im eager to see more of your stuff! 
jebilo:
ohh my god, you will sculpt it entierly ?
it promisses to be marvelous !
Bazil:
Love the looks of everything. Are you going to sculpt your Lammasu entirely out of Green Stuff or plan on using the other products out there?
warh:
nice!
but don’t post more images of it then you cant enter it in GHX
m3lvin:
As I understood while reading the rules for golden hat, It’s ok to enter any model unless it has been shown PAINTED on the site before. So for what I know, It’s alright as long as you only show greenies.
But feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I would only be glad to know for sure.
( It would be pretty dissapointing if I couldn’t enter it later. x.x )
My plans for now is to continue updating the blog with progress pics on my entry, until someone comes and tell me not to.
maybe I’ll PM grimstone and ask him.
Bazil: If I’d made it entierly out of greenstuff, I’d be ruined!
I will continue by making the bulk out of tinfoil and self-curing clay, before I’m applying a thinner layer of greenstuff.
I’ll post more pictures tonight, Hopefully I managed to fix both the foil and clay part by then.
the wings will be added later,. when I built everything else.
until then, :cheers

Bassman:
Well, as a rule fo thumb nobody shall post his miniatures because they shall remain anonimous. My idea is that rules state 4 pictures only for everybody. When you post more pictures in your blog, you have more possibilities because you have more then just 4 pictures. For example I remember people posting their warmachines during GH VIII and IMO it was not fine. IMO WIP give an unfair advance to massive conversions over painting… and this is not fine.
AS you can see I posted IMO many times… no pretend that everybody agree with me.
Your Lammasu looks really promising! Please do not enter it into GH, otherwise I’ll never win!!! 
tjub:
Jepp, I was one of them who did, shame on me :P. I didnt think it thru and just wanted to update the blog, and Im sure m3lvin thought the same with the WIPs. But I fully agree with you Bassman that WIPs of the entry shouldnt be posted untill the GH is over…
