Razanez:

Hello everybody and greetings from Finland, it’s good to be here! There has been many years since i have done anything with miniatyres… Until i got interested about Chaos dwarfs. Someday i got into this site and i cannot say how inspirated i was about the armies and conversions you’ve done. After a short paint/brush/glue- gathering i bought my first dwarfes and started conversing.

My goal at this time is to make 500pt “border patrol” army, for first. I’m not quite sure about the units i am goin’ to do, but making my own chaos dwarfes is more important than playing.

I’ll started with normal warriors with hand wapons, converted from regular dwarf warriors. I painted one for test.



As you can see, i do specially love the classical way the chaos dwarfes were. I tried to capture that feeling in that one i’ve painted, and, of course, old-school green base! And hats are MUST! :slight_smile:

I’ll keep doin’ these warriors now on with passion, and try to keep this blog updated. So what do you think about these?

Tarrakk Blackhand:

cornixt:

Very nicely done hat. Does he have a green beard?

Hashut’s Blessing:

Looking great! One thing they remind me of are the Flinstones’ bowling hats :wink:

As I said, looking good! Can always build a load of them and then create a border patrol list from the models that you’ve made anyway :wink:

Hello! It has been quite long time since i started with my dwarwes. Now i am on fire again!!



I got my first piece of instant mold, and copied those old chaos shields with it. Great stuff! I think they are much more chaotic that the previous round ones.

I made one hat from that skull-counter, it looks kinda rough :smiley: I think it looks better when painted. What do you think about the new hat?

Karring:

Maybe the skull-hat looks better if you “involve” it with a few of Green Stuff.

Amazing first CD! Why do yo not try to sculpt CD runes in next hats?

Regards…

Loki:

Allright dudes, thanks for your comments! I left the skull-hat-idea, i’ll make the warrior-hats as the first ones.

Be prepared for Lammasu…



It is in very early progress, but imo looks cool, haha. Got inspired by this http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=884 .

Soon i’ll be doing some beard and hair, he looks pretty cruel now. He has pegasus-torso, ogre head and horns and cold-one claws.

Any advices for the riders legs? It seems to be pretty hard job!

And first regiment of warriors (12pcs) are almost done (converted)!

Razanez:

Lammasu in in progress, and i started to think about fireglaves. Today i made the first fast prototype.



What do you think, mainly about the weapon? Any suggestions how to make it more chaotic? :slight_smile: Cheers!

Admiral:

That is one hell of a bayonet, son.

Razanez:

Allrighty, first fireglaive got paint on it. This is another test for color-scheme.



Main idea was to use black and bronze. A bit of red seemed to fit. How does it look?

Sherlocko:

Cool stuff. The skin almost blends in with all the blues though, but it is a cool colour scheme.

If you want a nifty trick it is to drill out the barrel for the gun. A small drill in the middle will make a whole lot of difference. :slight_smile:

The beard sculping is also really nice. And can´t wait to see how that Lammasu will turn out, top notch! :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot! Lammasu in on brake now, because i want to play with these as soon as possible. He is not very playable in small games. ;) I'll do the barrels as soon as i get my drill from the store!
