@catbarf: I cut off quite a few Gnoblar noses, from either the regiment sprues or the “accessory” gnoblars from the Ogre Bulls / Ironguts regiments. I really can’t tell anymore which ones exactly.
@Arlon: not because the colours hurt your eyes, I hope?

Did you shave them down, or just cut them off the heads and use them as-is?
Yes, yes, but I mean did you modify them before attaching them to the CDs? Did you shave them down, or cut off the sides, or make them flatter, or anything like that? Or was it just cut off -> glue on?
Wherever I could get them from… Chaos Marine bolters, sword hilts, Terminator shields, that kind of stuff. With a bits box as big as mine, there is always something useful to be found somewhere. ^^
@Pfreck: the second bolt thrower is currently in the works. I had to speed up my work on it as I want to use it in a 2000 points battle today. Gonna be painted in the next days, hopefully.
Okay, 4th place in Golden Hat V is more than an honorable result as I really never hoped I’d make a medal with this one, after having seen the gorgeous other entries. ^^
What I did was trying to create something that is anywhere between the Immortals and the regular CD warriors. While I’m happy with the standard and the face mask, the metal is a bit too shiny and there is not a lot of interesting stuff to be found on the armour. But the really good thing about this model is that it inspired me to a new design for a special unit:
Now these guys would come with a mixture of scale mail and plate, maybe some sort of oversized scimitar or glaive, and the ornamental shoulder guards with the symbolic oversized horns on them. Compared to the drawing they might need to be a bit more stunty to be proper Chaos Dwarfs. As of yet I call them the “High Thaumaturge’s Royal Guard” - no idea who he is or what they do, but I kinda like the ring of it!
Meanwhile, work on the bull centaurs is progressing v e r y slowly… I am still struggling with sculpting the weapons and hands. But the bull body, torso and heads are ready cast for 5 pieces!
reminds me a lot of the immortals from 300 i dwarf form and wearing armour. a whole unit would be great, not sure what you would count them as. possibly black orcs?
