In my Collecting Quest effort I have come across ‘Kludge’:



Kludge is a part of the limited edition blister consisting of 4 dwarfs and two pots (http://www.solegends.com/citle/citle1990/numbered/le21UpWall.htm). Models are sculpted by Trish Morrison.

In our Wiki Model Catalog ‘Kludge’ is labeled as a ‘could be a chaos dwarf’.

After getting him in my own hands I’m very certain that he is a Chaos Dwarf - as he - apart from the look itself - has a Chaos Star on his left shoulder. He looks like some kind of engineer.



So is there anyone here at CDO - who recall anything about this set and even know it’s background story? - would really like to know :wink:

In my Google search for info about these I came across these cool pictures of the gang - I think you all should see :D.



They are from Neil Lemon’s collection (@CCM)

So ‘Kludge’ could just be the plumber :smiley:

Obsidian:

I have the set at home! :cheers:

Back in the olde days Citadel used to do whole sets like these. They just made what they liked to back then, not everything had their use in games.

The Dwarf King’s court and the Chaos toilet spring to mind.

I think somebody at GW heard of the mafia “Hole in the Wall Gang” in Las Vegas and just thought it would be a laugh to make an equivalent with GW figures.

I think I'd personally hate to sit on a toliet made by the Ogres. A Great Maw toilet!

Sounds like a conversion just waiting to happen! Gnoblar look outs waiting to “clean” it…

In my search for information about Kludge I came across this post at HoH - It’s Wallacer’s post about completing his collection. Here, ‘HavestMouse’ talk’s about a 25th Marauder Chaos Dwarf that is released as a ‘normal’ dwarf not Chaos Dwarf.

I found this blury picture - that might be the mentioned dwarf:

- anyone who knows which Marauder Dwarf it is? Can’t find it at SoL, Stunties, CCM or in our Wiki :frowning:

Interesting! Never heard of a 25th one meself. If you're a part of the Yahoo Collecting Citadel Miniatures group you could probably get some sensible replies there? Martin

Obsidian:

Doesn’t look much like a Chaos Dwarf to me! He has an ancestor head on its belt and all…

Also not very in line with the rest of the Marauder Chaos Dwarfs.

I think that was just harvestmouses own personal opinion. I personally dont think it looks anything like a  marauder chaos dwarf. In fact its obviously not a marauder chaos dwarf as it is in a completely different styke. It looks much more like the citadel style. I think it looks just like a normal dwarf.

This is the closest thing i could find to it on CCM:

clam:

I know it’s not a chaotic looking dwarf - reason for naming it the 25th Chaos Dwarf should be, that it (according to harvestmouse) has a chaos star at the top of the hat.

Just can’t find it in the Marauder production line at all - and yes Pyro - that’s the only thing (quite cool dwarf (IMO) ;)) that come close to look like the mentioned dwarf.

Here is a good picture…



…it’s from the painting marathon page, Goldgreed has one :smiley:

clam:

Thank you very much Ghrask D - seeing a clear picture of it, made me sure i ain’t a 25th Marauder Chaos Dwars.

He might have an ornament at the top of his hat that could look like a Chaos Star - but seeing him painted there’s no doubt in my mind that he is just a traditional Dwarf Longbeard - and I found him on the 1994 Catalog page.

Well, another myth busted! :wink:

This info should of course be passed around to anyone pertaining to the 25th Marauder Chaos Dwarf as this chap, as he is a Longbeard. But still he could be insidiously on the beginnings of the path to chaos, who knows. Okay figure, real oldschool there.
