I got 2 Battalions of Ogre Kingdoms I’m going to convert into a chaos dwarf armed OK army. I like the OK army but the models are boring.
Also how do I have to cut up CD models in order to get the hats? I don’t know how to do the resin casting, nor do I want to learn, but I REALLY don’t want to cut OOP models. What do I do about that?
I found those Chaos Dwarf Ogre’s in my searches. Truly fantastic. I’m going to take a slightly different approach with mine. I understand it’s grey area to “sell” resin hat copy but would someone perhaps want to trade me for some? I have about 15-20 bare dwarf bodies off the sprue I was going to convert to chaos dwarfs. I really want to use the OOP hats not sculpt my own.
Yes I understand that for all the legal reasons and whatnot so if someone wants to continue that conversation via email and off of CD online PM me for email. I really would appreciate it if someone helped me out. I’m not looking to cast (whether GS or resin) anything at the moment.
"Chaos Dwarfs Online in no way condones the illegal reproduction of copywrighted material or intellectual property belonging to other parties."
Your legal options are:
a) Bite the bullet and sculpt your own hats.
b) Splash out on the OOP big hats and use those.
No one on this site can reproduce GW models (or parts thereof) for any sort of material gain, be it financial or as part of a trade. If they did we would reluctantly have to ban them. We have had issues with GW Legal before and have no wish to repeat them.
Let me finish by saying it really is worth having a go at making your own - your conversion skills will improve no end and it’s that bit more rewarding.
What I want to know is why no one has made their own designs for Big Hats, sculpted them and then cast them for sale. Lots of styles to choose from and there’s more than a few peeps who could use them.

And I guess when you are sculpting most of the stuff yourself buying hats might not seem worth it. The economics of producing the hats can be questioned as well.
