So as I have gotten into collecting and painting the MM90 CDs I’ve heard on several occasions that they were dwarf versions of existing Chaos Warrior sculpts…so tonight I decided to try to figure out which ones…Since The MM90s were released in 1988 I’ve looked through the catalogs for that year and the years before…and I’ve certainly found a number of matches…but there are quite few that I couldn’t find the human version of.
Here is what I have found so far:
But that still leaves these unaccounted for:
I see a couple of more “maybes” but am hoping that others can offer some input on where the inspiration for the rest of these MM90s came from.

Wow. I've never heard this, but I had noticed a similarity in a couple of them, but your list is really good. I hope you find the matches for the rest of them. Thanks for sharing this. I would be nice to collect the Chaos Warriors as well, and paint them the same as their Chaos Dwarf counterpart.

Yeah that is what I was thinking too...it would be cool to paint them in them same colors and display them next to each other...or better yet have a unit of WoC that was ranked up just like your MM90s...:o
the thing about this is, I think the CDs look a ton better than the chaos warriors in every instance.

I also agree with this...and I think its the beards that make the CDs so cool...it might be fun to get a couple of the WoC and add some beards to them.
@Pyro...Great! thanks for posting your pics too...you have a couple that I didn't. and I'm kinda sad that there arn't more matches....and kinda glad that the mm90s are somewhat unique,
Looking really good. I hope this can be done for all of them. If not, someone who is good at sculpting, can sculpt a Chaos Warrior for the ones that are missing.
Im pretty sure MM90/5a and 5b dont have chaos warrior counterparts although it would be hilarious to see one of 5a. You should probably be looking at the MM92 Mounted Chaos Warriors for matches as well.
So I have just received some Way OOP Chaos Warriors that I am painting as a commission for a fellow over on CCM and he included an unreleased Marauder Chaos Warrior that matched up with one of our MM90’s…in fact my favorite one…Mr. Skull Face! See for yourself:
Pretty cool eh? though once again I like the MM90 SOOOO much better.
Hey blue, I didn’t look that closely when they were in my possession, but is the head of that the exact same on both models? even in size? when I look at the ice blown up pic they look like exactly the same head just on different bodies
They do have some oddly similar properties that don’t look intentional. Both have a slightly higher left horn (his left). other features are remarkably similar too. Could it be that the sculptor just chopped up the warrior model and stuck them onto a dwarf-size body?
Size wouldn’t be a good indicator though due to shrinkage each time you cast a model.
Sadly, can not add a new guy to the list, checked quite a few pages (MM91’s, those that were linked earlier on etc etc) but I just do not see another one
I’ve finally gotten a chance to finish up a couple of Hashut’s Lil Helper’s Chaos warriors that are inspired by his painted MM90’s here are the first three…more detail shots available on my blog
