I really like the old style of Chaos Dwarves from 2nd and 3rd editions so i tried to find a way to get that kind of style for my Conversions.
Here’s how it turned out:
Take the body of a Stormvermin and cut of the legs at the knees.
Helmet and Arms are straight from the Chaos-Warriors. The elbow joints fit really nicely into the sockets for the skaven arms, but the helmet needs some cutting.
Boots are simply cut from sprue. Beards are stright forward (took me some time to figure out, what kind i liked the most).
Indeed, great work! Your style is reminiscent of 3rd edition. Not anything like identical, of course, but I immediately come to think of oldhammer CDs when seeing those conversions. Good choice of bitz and solid paintjobs.
Have to say that you really called to the style well. These immediately bring to mind those whimsical early edition chaos dwarves with the massive helmets gangly horns and brutish weapons. Even the posing captures it well. Nicely done!

I somewhat agree, the influence is there. What seperates itself from the pack as it were is the painting style. Old schoolish minis with a cleaner, more modern style of painting.
These guys are so cool. Like others have said the paint scheme looks great. Can’t wait to see more.
The only thing I would suggest is to trim the weapon shaft down for guys that use it as a one handed wpn. It looks great the way it is for the two handed weapons tho.
Dang man those are really really cool. Love those... flamers? What are you using those guys as, for what system?

Just liked the conversion, I don't really plan how to use them.
I will propably use them as fillers for Fireglaives oder as blunderbusses in Mordheim.
