[Archive] Maneaters as chaos dwarf golems

Dhoom:

Lately all my Warhammer time has gone into converting my skull pass goblins and dwarfs into a chaos dwarf army.

I have discovered that converting an entire army, while super cool, can at times be mind numbing.

Sometimes I feel like the hobgobo slave and not the Chaos dwarf master.

To change things up from the endless rank and file I have starting a conversion project using maneater rules as chaos dwarf golems. I figure the rules fit pretty well, maneaters being stubborn fits mindless magical automotons. etc etc etc.

I was just wondering if anyone else has already done this or if anyone has any ideas for the actual conversion. Right now I am thinking of going for the golem look from the WOW mmo used by the dark iron dwarves.

I was thinking of using killa kans or maybe even dreadnaughts with plenty of greenstuff and major conversion as the base models. I like some of the warmachine models and may use some of them but I want my army to be tourney legal.

Any ideas and comments are welcome.

An idea I’ve been wanting to use for a while is to take Space ork Meganob models, replace the ork head with dwarf ancestor banner heads. All chaosdwarfized of course.

You can’t be wrong with Golems in a CD army. What would be very nice would be a steampunk / daemon machine take on the abominations from Warcraft III / WoW. These should be relatively easy to do, sculpt stitches and seams onto regular ogres and slap on some machinery bitz. Voilá, elite Frankenstein superguards! :hat

you could get a lead belcher and make him into a deamon power warmachine

you can make skulls out of greenstuff and lost souls like on the chaos canon

mix them on the canon and the ogre
