Catattafish:
Hey Guys,
I stumbled across your forums while searching Google for some images. I am a pretty good painter and had the opportunity to paint a Chaos dwarf for the first time the last few days. My main platform for painting has been Crimson Fist Space marines, Evil Sunz Orks, and soon to be Necrons.
I thought I would share my results. If anyone would know, you guys would…Did I get him right? Is there anything wrong in the fluff that doesn’t fit with the paint scheme?
You might not be able to tell but his skin has a very slight greenish tinge to it to make him look evil, his eyes are slight yellow, but again hard to see in the video of a picture.
The best way to show you is in my 360degree HD Video here…

Great job!
I think he looks fabulous - you are a very talented painter!
Catattafish:
Thank you very much for the kind comment! What do you think fluff wise? I don’t know anything about the Chaos Dwarves and I didn’t have access to any codex, etc. Thanks again mate,
Cat
DAGabriel:
Super cool paint job.
Only thing that doesnt fit with my fluff: <br>The Dark Castellan is supposed to hold the head of an old Sorcerer-Prophet, who had turned himself into stone. <br>It would be a relic which comes instead of the Army Standard.<br><br>So the bloodied head would indeed go against the fluff, but on the other side, why shouldnt the bloody head of a defeated enemy fulfill the same function?
Catattafish:
BAH! That is exactly the information I needed before painting him! Lols. I didn’t get why he was holding a Chaos Dwarf head, I was going to paint him as a regular Dwarf (enemy) but the sculpt was too Chaosy… Now it all makes sense!! Thanks guys! If you know the three models I am working on, is there any other heads up I should know about before I paint them?
theforgefather:
Nice! the whole model looks amazing, and I have nothing much else to say other than…EPIC!!
Time of Madness:
Very nice indeed!

If you are looking for some fluff references - why not have a look in the wiki?
There is a lot of information in there - maybe it would be of help!
Catattafish:
Hey Guys,
Thanks so much! I did have a look at the wiki but I didnt really any find any reference to colours. Ie when the dwarves turn to Chaos, do their eyes go red? yellow? etc? Does their skin turn a specific colour when they go Chaos?
I have 2 more models to go so when I am done I will be posting them here. One of them has Ice for half the base. It is a REALLY cool effect. If you are interested, Check out my video Njal Stormcaller. (I also have a tutorial on how to make the ice base as well)

Veshnakar:
Skin or eye color is not really explained much. I believe I read somewhere that their skin get’s a slight pallid grey tinge, but I can’t remember where. I image beyond the tusks and the occasional hooves they don’t deform all that much though! That said though, you can definitely have a little bit of freedom.
Catattafish:
Thanks so much Veshnakar! My skin colour is more a pallid Green tinge but overall I think it fits.
Cheers!
Mad Dave:
Its a Rubbish paint job… Im not jealouse !! honste… Joking aside that has to be one of the best paint jobs ive seen on for that miniture. :hat off
Hashutcopper:
Awsome model,
how’d you do the blood stains?
Catattafish:
The paint stains were using two different colours
-dab on or lightly brush 50/50 of Citadel Bestial Brown / Tamiya Clear Red (x27)
-Lightly dab your brush in Tamiya Clear Red and randomly dab it on and around where your 1st step was painted
-Lastly lightly dip your brush into Tamiya Clear Red and holding the brush close to the model, use a toothpick to flick the hairs of your brush so the brush sprays some splatter on the model where you want it. (DO A TRIAL RUN ON A PIECE OF PAPER SO YOU LEARN THIS TECHNIQUE FIRST BEFORE APPLYING IT TO YOUR MODEL!!!)
Hope that helps
Catattafish:
Guys here is the final installment, thanks for all your tips on the fluff of these guys!

Mad Dave:
Really nice job dude. Where did you get the rocky bases from the figures are standing on or did you make them.
Catattafish:
Thanks so much! I actually made those bases and here is a tutorial on how I made the ice with rock base…
