[Archive] Big hats with two-handed axes

Minos:

Hello guys,

I don’t know these minis. Are they official GW or illegal ones ?

and these (overpriced ones) :

nitroglysarine:

They are unreleased models from GW…

however there seems to be quite a few re-casts (forgeries) banging about, and they are quite poor quality.
So bid with care, and ask the seller to confirm they are originals, giving you more cover if they do turn out to be fake.

good thread about them here:- http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8367

cornixt:

They were released online, but not in the stores. The “overpriced” ones are definitely recasts because they have been modified from the official models to have big hats, the others just look poor quality in the photos so they might be too. Check out the [[Chaos Dwarf Catalog]] on the wiki to see all the official models.

Here is an old thread that discusses this exact thing: http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6541

While there was one person who claimed they got them from GW, no one else has ever supported that claim.

zhatan87:

I try to win the first one bid.

For the second and third bid, it seems to emanate from an older bid from Spain which ended not long ago : http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230563545062&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I don’t bid cause I think the models are recast.

Threadbare:

The 2nd and 3rd links are illegal recasts. The wiki page shows all the models GW put out http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/wiki/index.php/Chaos_Dwarf_Models_-_4th_to_7th_Edition

it even shows one of the illegal ones the other looks like a mix of Warrior A and the Drummer’s hat.

Minos:

Even if they are recasts, I prefer the second and third. Maybe I’ll try to get them (even if they are very expensive).

@ zhatan87 : Du coup, je te laisse tranquille sur les premiers pour cette fois !

Obsidian:

~I bought some a while ago but decided not to use them. Will either sell them here or through Ebay depending on the price I can get for them. I paid quite a hefty buck for them too unfortunatly…

Da Crusha:

I would use them if I collected big hats, after all, they are conversions I’d likely attempt.

ingtar_shinowa:

I just looked at my CD warrior unit and I have 3-4 of them in it already! Cool models imo
