[Archive] Awesome minis (includes chaos dwarfs)

Rhazzouth:

Surfing on the net I saw a German conversion page with really awesome  minis, so, here’s the link:

Hashut’s Blessing:

Rhazzouth: I’m afraid you’ve been beaten to the punch as they’ve been posted up before :smiley: Having said that some cool looking stuff in there.

Da Crusha:

aww Ive seen that sight before but I have never seen the chaos dwarfs… I think they are ok, usually black dragon has jaw dropping conversions…

Snotling:

Hey cool. I know his minis form CMON, but I never saw his homepage. pretty cool that he also made Chaosdwarfs. cool stuff!

Swissdictator:

A lot look like just conversions, some of it painfully obvious. Painful in the sense that they were quite clearly GW figures/pieces before the conversion work. The quality isn’t painful, some of them are quite cool and interesting, it’s nice to see a Hell Pit Abomination option for the Skaven.

For Chaos Dwarfs, I do like some things about the troops, but I’d feel compelled to convert some… some of the helms/hats need a little work. Though they did a nice job with the tusks and beards. The blunderbuss weapons I’m not really sold on.

They have a lot of cool ideas though, I like the Death Roller/Mobile Artillery thing they came up with.

The undead ogres are very cool, I think those are VERY nicely done. As are the fellbats.

The Dark Elf spear elves that have the front rank kneeling to let the back ranks strike is cool. I am seriously tempted to get their Dark Elf chariot though, as it uses the new Cold Ones.

Some of the Chaos Characters based on the ones from the previous book are rather nice overall! As are some of the Nurgle mounts.

War shrines look OK…

Overall I do notice several things that are not extraordinarily done. Call me harsh, if you want. I do love a lot of the ideas they have though.

Tarrakk Blackhand:

I think the beards on the Chaos Dwarfs look awfully heavy handed to some of the beards I’ve seen here in our conversion works. It’s like he stabbed the knife in too deeply.

The ideas are nice, but the execution of them tend to look too heavy. Might just be how the camera’s picking them up though.

ThanX for the link!
