Long time reader, first time poster. I love the chaos dwarves but hate some of the models and the prices. With that in mind, I’ve taken to building what I want as cheaply as possible. Here’s the first offering, my pair of Magma Cannons:

NoisyAssassin:
Those are pretty nifty!
Fuggit Khan:
Very nice, in many ways I like your Magma Cannons better than the FW one…and I like what you’ve done with your bases too :cheers
Da Crusha:
they look great. can you put a list of the bits you used?
gIL^:
WE have the same computer monitor.
Frelf:
gIL^, you have an excellent taste in computer monitors.
Da Crusha:
The base model is from the Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon and the cannon is the cut barrel and shield from the Chaos Space Marine Defiler. I cut up the A-Frame into equal lengths and used the largest wheels from the kit. With some cutting, greenstuff and tubing, I attached everything to whatever piece that is that goes under the cannon. I also used the gem from the lightning cannon with both ends and extra bits as that is where the “magma” comes from. I’m doing a winter-themed army when I get around to painting everything so, if my skills don’t fail me, it will be a glowing blue rock of fiery death. You can decorate the ends of the strut however you want. I used dragon ogre heads since I had them lying around. I looked up WWI artillery pictures for inspiration. Not bad for $30 worth of kit and bits, eh?
I’m glad they’ve met some approval so far. Outside of the infernal guard, I haven’t liked what I’ve seen of the CD FW range so far. Stay tuned for Bull Centaurs made of Black Orcs and Chaos Knight Steeds!
Abecedar:
good looking work, Its so much better having the same models to represent things for an army. To even sort-of make a match for the FW magma cannon that I have will be a right pain
Yodrin:
Those look very cool, nice work!!
Bolg:
Love the conversion/kitbash. I personally would prefer cannons on a rond base, or at least on a square one. there very long bases are very eazy to hit with cannons and more and very difficult to turn it to near to a unit. I you like tournaments I would avoid these bases.
Khaosbeardling:
Very cool conversion! I’m still thinking of ways I want to do some of my war machines, these are very awesome inspiration!
Ghrask Dragh:
Very cool canon, think they will fit right into a chaos dwarf army. Welcome aboard!!

ClawLeader:
Lovely, I approve and they look coherent and fit the theme of the cds
Admiral:
Perfect conversion. You almost convinced me to try it out instead of eventually buying train car war machines from Forgeworld.
mireadur:
