Everything about these makes me want to collect them, another original idea after another, would like to see the palaquin and the “horylkovar” looks very cool and funny indeed!
The artwork is very cool and it’s certainly not anything we have seen before - that’s for sure :hat off And I would really like to see that artillery snail sculpted
But I really can’t see them as evil Chaos Dwarf creatures - so, no snails in my army, sorry And I must admit that I would have preferred a mutated daemon bound evil creature instead - but that’s just me - or just plain simple bears (think that would really suit the big hats).
And then again they are not Chaos Dwarfs - they are Moscals
I think it depends on the setting. Maybe the lands of the Moscals are better suited to chaos snails than the ashen wastelands of Zharr Naggrund (that is, most certainly, I am sure). I’ve seen a conversion of a Nurgle-themed beastmen chariot being pulled by two giant war snails so I can imagine they might work quite well.
I think the snails should be pulling something massive. some type of heavy war chariot. Snails may be slow, but they might have a lot of power in them. Therefore, the concept of them pulling something heavy at a slow pace would make sense.
Would the Horylkovar look better with arms that were articulated flame throwers? Much like the 40K Ork Killa Kans?

I second this. It would make it look more threatening and less walking teapot. Anyway walking distillery/brewery is brilliant concept for dwarfish war machine, Chaos or not.
A walking distillery/brewery of doom? Killing/bombing your enemies while it provide you with beer/wodka? :o this is a dream machine!! I want it, right now! :cheers :cheers This is a dwarf’s dream coming true!
I’m curious about the dimension of the machine and how you’ll be able to realize/cast it. Multi part kit? How much it will cost? Hope not too expensive…
Well bear in mind that these seem to be pressmoulded GS conversions, not resin miniatures, which I would expect the Moscals to be once they are in production.
The miniature that I got after GH8 was nicely scuplted and cast. I guess when people buy the pressmoulded pieces they expect Forgeworld quality and forget that they buy individually handmade pieces.
I dont want to put a downer on things and mean no offence to Scibor but i was looking at a couple of other forums and found this

If you pick apart a hand made, uncast piece, then of course you're going to find a couple flaws. The piece wasn't made to be configured any way other than the way it was sold, so why expect to be able to pick it apart and find perfectly sculpted detail underneath that would be hidden by the details that you just picked away?
Seems like a kid who picks apart action figures and is disappointed when they figure out it's not actually held together by articulated muscles and sinews. Put the details on the way it was intended and I'm sure it would look exactly like the CMoN picture.

The question remains though how much turning around will the miniature "survive" before showing its "ugly side". If it will only look good from a very specific angle then that's not very good. While its probably best to ignore most posts, especially at FU UK, the pics does show some issues that it probably pay to address.
Reminds me of hamburgers. I never quite seem to get something looking like the pictures on the menu either.
