alex:
After fighting off extortionist pricing like nurglings, i conjured up a solution in my cauldron of ideas (good cliche eh?) this technique requires a little skill, but heres my conversion thread on turning old 3rd edition chaos warriors into chaos dwarfs.
Ok, so start off with a 3rd edition Chaos warrior.
A word to the wise, this will only work with certain chaos warriors, others will end up obliterated, I will supply a list of the warriors that will work at the bottom of this thread.
With most warriors you can just use the standard feet, like with this little guy.
If you do use the feet that the warrior came with, cut them off first!!! because its not fun trying to hold a leg thats less than a centimeter long while cutting off the foot thats even smaller with a saw. But, in this case, i used the legs from a 5th ed hunchback goon.
Now, very carefully using a razorblade, or a small hobby saw, hack the feet off at the joint. Be careful not to cut off to much, you can always shave them down to fit later.
So, now you should have a set of feet and a chaos warrior. Ok now here’s where it gets a little tricky.(and the cliches just keep comin) Start off with a warrior that has a skirt, so you can just cut the legs off flush. Also, cut the knees from the back, its alot easier this way. Another trick is to make a guideline cut with a razor before you saw.
Don’t go hackin away just yet! examine the warrior, hold the feet up to where you would want them, try to plan it out before you make the cut, because let’s face it, models aren’t cheap.
Now that you have the Lower legs removed. position the feet where you want them, and make sure he stands straight. If it doesn’t line up, shave the feet and the legs down to a flat surface, but careful not to shave to much.
You’re almost there! Next step is to glue the feet in place, possibly pin them on if necessary. And, now you have yourself a 3rd edition style Chaos Dwarf!
Be sure to rub it in your friends face.
