My name is Chris Steenhuis from Holland, student, 19 years old, I’ve been playing warhammer for a couple of years now, blablabla
What I would like to show you guys is my Chaos Dwarf army I have been working on. Its a project that should participate in a Tournament (Fanatic, Leiden on Octobers 6th). Thats a very tight deadline keeping in mind all the stuff that still needs to be done. Positive thing: It should all contribute to the web log :))
The army in its current state
I must admit I’ve “borrowed” some ideas of some of the people of this forum of which I am humbly thankful (Cannon crew member/Sorcerer, the lava basing (plus the lava bubble) and the Marauder banner Bolttrowers).
Things that I haven’t seen before are the Chaos Space Marine tank gun-tips for Blunderbuss guns. I’ve actually used allot of CSM parts in my army (all the CD helms for example). Picture of the Blunderbusses:
Well I got my ends with 2 Chaos Rhino’s which have about 12/16 tips each or so.
Bull centaurs before:
Bull centaurs after:
Since I took picture I’ve patched up the red feet a little so they have a little more depth now.
Blacks Orcs, no mentionable conversions really
For these Gnoblars which I use as Hobgoblins, Gnoblars slaves. To represent this I bought 2 meters of chain for shackles to represent the slave idea. I am not really statisfied with the unit because the chains don’t really stand out. I think you need allot more to make it really mentionable. But due time restrictions I leave it like this.
And the sorcerer which I didn’t came up myself as mentioned above.
These Gnoblars on Goblin Wolves represent my Hobgoblin Wolf Riders. The Gnoblars I used are just the ordinary ones but with their legs made a little wider to mount them. I used the Dwarf shields from the Dwarf Thunderer boxed set because these where the only ones I found suitable enough for the size of a Gnoblar.
Tell me how many points it is so I can nominate you for a medal.
wallacer
On this moment the army isn’t legal yet so 0 points, in a few weeks a complete 2250 pt army should be ready. So the first picture isn’t it, rather about half.
I’ve also converted the last 2 Sorcerers for my army. The Dwarfs are based on a Dwarf Engineer with great weapon and a Dwarf Lord with great weapon and pistol.
For the left Sorcerer I used a musicians horn with Marauder horns replacing the mechanical hammer. The head is of course the Dark Emissary head of the Albion Campaign of which I’ve lost the body so this is a great second purpose. The arm holding the skull is from the Thunderer/Crossbow Dwarf boxed set. I don’t know exactly where the skull is from anymore, I think from a Goblin sprue.
For the right Sorcerer I’ve chopped of the axe and replaced it with Chaos Space Marine Biker Powersword adding some Dwarf Horns as his staff. The mechanical hand is from the Chaos Space Marine Troopers boxed set.
/edit picture didn’t seem to work so I uploaded it to ImageShack instead.
Wizzbang, that is truely a great army! It’s looking awesome. As said - a very original BB convertion. And your Bull Centaurs are some of the best I have seen. Looking forward to see more and especially to see some paint on those Bolt Throwers
Btw, what do your intent to base your Earthshaker on?
@Xander: About a 1000 I think, maybe a little more now the Sorcerers are done. @clam: I took the Chaos Hellcannon and left it as it was, of which looks in my opinion quite okay :). I would have rather done a Xander like conversion, but I don’t have the time for mailorder (not at my store that is) anymore bacause of the deadline of the tournament. @AGPO: I would like to see their punch power combined on the battlefield
Done but not really satisfied with the result. The cloth of the head from the Dark Emissary still needs to be a little darker or even black I think. And the staff of “Little Red Riding Hood” needs to be redone (which Chaos Dwarf would carry around a blue icy staff?).
Any comments much appreciated :hat off
/edit I’ve added a picture from the angle of the DE sorcerer.
