I have been on this site for about 2 years (more a lurker than poster)
Finally I thought it was time to post Pictures of my Big Hat chaos dwarfs. (these guys were in a “Word of Hashut” Battle report :hat off)
Here they are

2 units of 21 Chaos dwarf warriors
2 units of 21 Blunderbusses
3 units of 10 hobgoblin wolf riders
1 unit of 15 black orcs
2 units of 6 bull centaurs
2 hordes of 41 hobgoblin warriors (or 4 units of 20)
1 unit of 21 sneaky gits
4 bolt throwers (NOT Big hat era, Goblin BT models…)

Unfortunately, as they were my first army … my painting skills have improved (i think they look pretty bad…)…so I am thinking about re-painting the entire force!!! GAAH!
That being said, I might be willing to trade multiple units (and/or cash!)
to get a unit of the unreleased chaos dwarf axemen!!! Damn those are hard to find!! :cheers
Anyway, figured I might share, as you might be looking at the worlds longest PLog very soon…
Impressive collection for sure!!!! And it's all painted up.
Tbh it would be a shame to strip them all and redo them. I'd invest in some Gw inks, might just do the job.

Yea, it would be, BUT the problem lies, where i tried different techniques on some of them, (like dipping) and did a bad job of it.
I might try on one of my spare guys, to touch him up and see if it can be applied across the model, unfortunately however, all the models have a glossy coat, so i don't know if that would work....
any ideas? you are right i would rather fix them then repaint all 250+ models...
i think it’s only about 4000pts with the ravening hordes list (magic items included).
The Chaos Dwarfs get quite a few point breaks on that list.
If we are just talking about bare bones troops, I could fit every model in a 3000 point battle. (imagine the enemy’s look facing that down!)
But the units would probably get smashed. I would use the old 6th edition tactics of the maniple formation, with 4 units of 20 hobgobs)
(or 8 units of 10) and grind through combat rez… Not sure that would work in 8th however… more likely I would cause the greatest massacre of Chaos dwarfs since that “white dwarf presents” army book we got… phew. x.x
Need to have some tighter, high rez photos here...

Willmark,
I would but I am kinda of embarassed of the paint job...:sick
Maybe I can get them up later this week.
So to remove a glossy over coat, you think I'd have to strip he whole model? I am guessing so unforunately....
