[Archive] Slow progress Chaos Dwarf Army

Admiral:

Very nice Infernal Guards! Are there some tail or tentacle bit in the Chaos Spawn or some monster kit which could be put on the tail end of the Destroyer? Or perhaps several chains instead of cables? Or even a small leg if you’ve got enough bits left over from the Maulerfiend kit?

tjub:

Agree on the banner, but over all the look really good.

Scar:

Thanks guys!

I have managed to finish some more in the meantime!

TheHoodedMan:

Very nice. I like the blue accents, especially at the coals. Very catchy.

Scar:

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Yeah i thought lets go something else then lava like almost everyone does.

And since they are chaos and there is a lot of magical stuff going on i thought lets just go with a nice contrasting color!

Yodrin:

Wow, very very nice!! I agree on the blue, looks awesome!!!

TheHoodedMan:

…and it seems as you are not so slow progressing as mentioned in your blog title ;-).

Skink:

This is easily one of the best painted armies that appeared here in a while! Well done! And I agree with the others, the blue is awesome!

Fuggit Khan:

Yep, it’s already been said before, but I’m going to say it again…the blue is a wonderful touch to add some color accent.

Very nice!

Ben Saunders:

As the others have said, the lighter/bluer look makes a really nice change. Indeed, I’m sure they would still look good if it were the standard colour scheme, but it’s particularly noteworthy because it departs from the standard palette.

Scar:

Thanks everyone!

Nextup are 20 fire glaves! :slight_smile:

Bloodbeard:

You do some very good looking work Scar. I’m happy to see your army grow, hope it’s not from idleness - I hope you’re still swamped in commission work.

The blue glow is great on the machines. And feeding a demonic train ghostly coals is pretty damn scary!

The two best things on your Infernal Guard is the amazing banner and the super light beard rings. It looks like silver jewelry among beaten up steel - absolutely amazing detail. That is worth some of my slaves!

I don’t like the glow around the eyes. Executed perfect. But it’s too sci-fi / space marines for me.

Admiral:

Gorgeous metals, blue and freehand painting!

Abecedar:

Ill add my applause. Im to impressed to come up with a decent comment

Scar:

Thanks everyone!

20 fireglaives almost finished but i could not resist on finishing these first, though i totally repainted them haha.
Was not happy with the first result so this is how they look now ready to stomp!
Also did some changes that people pointed out.

Admiral:

O-la-la. Great Bull Centaurs! There’s nothing on them below the good standard of every other area you’ve painted. At first I thought the skin looked a bit plain, but upon closer inspection it’s clearly layered and looks a lot like actual tanned human skin. :cheers

Will they look out of place without any blue glow?

Yodrin:

Wow, those BC, as the rest, looks awesome !!!

Bolg:

Wow, I can see I’ve been away some time.

Love your painting oncen again.

To bad I miessed you at the GT in the Netherlands, but I think there were 4-5 of your painted armies so that was something (;

Mivrash Faz:

Fantastic work. Great choice of colours. I’ll be honest I was quite ambivalent about using DC’s in my army, but after seeing yours I think I’ll have to reconsider my decision. More pics please.

Scar:

Thanks everyone!

Blog: Yeah i know was on a small vacation at that time! :slight_smile:

And indeed there were 6 armies there that i painted 4 fantasy and 2 40k i believe :smiley:

I just finished the 20 fireglaives but going to take some pictures of them tomorrow.

Just a BSb and 2 Khans to paint and my list is finished for next weekend.

This is what i am planing to take with me:

LORD: 365

- Sorcerer-Prophet (Metal)

lvl 4, Charmed shield, Scroll, crown of command

HEROES: 274

- Infernal Castellan

BSB, Enchanted shield, dawn stone

- Khan

Spear, Giant wolf

- Khan

Light armour, Spear, Giant wolf

CORE: 660

- 19 Infernal guard

Full command, 19 Fireglaives

- 19 Infernal guard

Full command, Razor standard

SPECIAL: 485

- 4 Bull Centaur Renders

4x GW

- Iron Daemon

RARE: 215

- Dreadquake Mortar

Slave Ogre

1999

Probably not the strongest… no goblins (just didn’t have the time to do those) so ill have to do with the 2 khans.

Also its pretty hard comped Hasut or death is not allowed and more than 1 warmachine is also not appreciated.

Then i wanted to ask you all for some advice!

So far i have play tested 20 games already and from those 20 i played 15 against empire and won 0!!!

I don’t get why and would like some advice from you guys.

What he plays is the following:

Grand master with runefang on horse

lvl 4 heavens on horse

2 lvl 1 fire mages on horse

1 captain with lance on horse

1 captain bsb with dragon helm

2x5 normal knights

1x10 normal knights

1x10 inner circle with GW

6 reiksguard knights

2x3 demigriffs

1 Stank

1 Cannon

10 handgunners

I have tried everything!

From 3 warmachines to 3 units bull centaurs to k’daai to prophet on cow to spamming hobgoblins and really nothing works…

It’s so frustrating really…

I also play a wood elves army and then its a walk in the park…

He is an nice player but objectively i do consider myself the better player of the both of us. (not trying to be cocky here)

So does anyone have any idea what to do?

Or is it just a really bad matchup ?

Any help is greatly appreciated! :slight_smile:

Cheer and cu all tomorrow!
