These models are samples from a Chaos Dwarf army that I painted in the late 90s. These guys have been locked in a box for almost a decade now.
The techniques are rudimentary but clean -so please be kind. The banners are hand painted. The banner in the very last photo commemorates a combat between my Bull Centaurs and my buddy’s Dark Elf Black Guard, where my Centaurs were surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered, but nonetheless drove off the Dark Elves and ran them down. Ah-memories
These are nice indeed - glad to see that you dug them out of their box and hopefully you’ll be taking them back to the battlefield?
Great painting too, like you say nice and neat - I find myself really liking the green you used for the skulls. I don’t suppose you remember the colours you used? I am leaning towards using greens and metalics on my own stuff, if I can figure out how to paint green properly, it seems like a tricky colour to me! Anyway, looking forward to some more things from your box

I used Armory paints. You can achieve the same effect by starting with a dark green as a base and then adding highlights to the edges by adding bands of color made by mixing dark green with white. The lighter (or higher) the highlight, the more white you add to the mix. I believe I added only 2 levels of highlight to my Chaos Dwarves.
Oh. I forgot to post a pic of this guy. I never finished painting his ride, so instead he rides a Death-Cork of Hashut. ;)
One should note that my choice of colors was very much a product of its time. Back in the mid to late 90s, most of the GW models were painted in fairly bright colors. Even my CD’s bases were painted to emulate the colors and technique used by GW and its Eavy Metal painters on their bases.
As you said, very neat and simple paint job. Clean, crisp with just a hint of chocolate (or was that the stout from last night?). Seriously, they are well painted and they deserve to be played with, those banners are well done.
Love the notorious red phase style chaos dwarves they were always my favorites ! Your colours and painting is first rate Id love to see them ein mass even riding the deathcork of hashut
yeah, the colours i'm going for are that red with a sort of coppered/bronze colour.
i'm hoping it works.
although i'm not sure on the beard colour i want to match that.

It's really too bad Koyote decided to leave really. It seemed awfuly abrupt, I guess we won't be seeing any more of his army which is too bad too.
