I love these man, the helmet actually looks like its being worn, not just sat on their shoulders, and the capes look great very jealous :) could you or even someone else put up a tutorial on how to do the capes roughly. Good stuff tho man, can't wait to see a hero from you.OK Ingrown, just for you ;)

Dracomancer:
Nice! Might try this when I make some immortals, good job!
Kobarf:
Great tutorial, I’m sure it will help a lot of people on this forum!
They look great but I have one little nitpick if you don’t mind. I never really liked those chaos helmets on dwarfs but I feel that if you would cut off the lower half or place them a bit lower rather than just on top of the body it would look even better. Just my opinion though keep this up! :cheers

grunts:
amazing models! wish i had that much skill with green stuff
Ingrown:
OK Ingrown, just for you WinkYay :cheers, i still haven't bought any greenstuff (its bin two weeks!!) the cape'y chaos warriors are possibly my favorite plastic kit gw have out at the moment, they rank and file perfectly and just look so immovable and brutish (specially when u hack the horns off :D) it manages to look even better with dwarves as everything does. As a suggestion (ignore it if you wish) you could wrap you champion in the cape like kazahd doomlord from the old marauder CD's with fur around the top, possibly an arm pointing forwards moving the cape to show a hint of armor, its up to you. thanks again mate

And finally, here is a comparison with my CD and a BFSP Dwarf warrior.��Note where the eye slits are in comparrison to the dwarfs eyes. Almost perfect, if anything, a little too low!Finally someone has put the helmet where it belongs: hunched in the shoulders!��Well done, these are looking excellent!Second that!

Well I may have phrased myself a bit wrong and harsh :s After a second look I too see the helmets are in the right place, I think I’m having a problem with the helmets themselves, they seem too long and small, not fit for a dwarf head…
Therefore the suggestion of cutting off a piece to accomodate them better to the squated dwarf head, or maybe even broaden them up a bit with GS. If you would continue your work how you’re doing it now it would still be awesome don’t get me wrong. But I do think that they would look even better and more fitting with adjusted helmets, you have the skills to pull it off after all!
Can’t wait to see these painted up. :cheers

Looking good there, those helmets actually work the way you have done them! Regarding the capes, if the problem is smoothness then painting a layer of PVA glue might help, its some thing i used in the past when i just couldnt get rid of the fingerprints! only enough to fill out any imperfections though! don’t go mad! Again, they are looking great.

Man, you’re a genius! Your sculpt-fu is simply awesome! Great job, to say the least.
Were does the weapon come from? Is it from the chaos marauders box?

This topic ought to be in the conversion section … It would be more archivable. Blogs should be for the collected army as a whole, kinda… Having a topic for the conversion helps the archiving process too, and will make it easier for others to find your conversions.
Or you could keep adding to this blog and make a separate thread in the conversion section for each conversion you do.
Traitor King:
Whoa, nice tutorial, I am Soo going to try this on my champion…
If it works out as yours, i will use this technique when i make immortals.
Also, Nice tip Lord D.

OK, not fixed my computer yet but plugged some gubbins into my Camera so I could upload my latest pics.��First off, here is how my warrior unit is developing with the second rank complete:
I think these are really coming on well, I’m happy with the variety of poses(?) making them look really chaotic.
And I know I should concentrate on finishing the unit but I couldn’t help it, I had a go at doing a unit champion converted from the BFSP thane.��He looks pretty good, I might consider using him as a hero instead.��What do you think, Hero or Champion?
His arm isn’t fixed yet (easier to paint) and I’m sorely tempted to add a scale mail sleeve, I’m not sure.��Again, any suggestions would be welcome!
I won’t be adding more stuff for a while as I am moving house so wont have time to sculpt anything until I’ve settled in. I will still be checking out the forum though and keeping an eye on this thread.
I will post my HG hero after the Golden Hat has been published, it’s about 80% complete. Just some layering and the base to finish.
Ghrask Dragh:
:hat off Great stuff HH!
That champion looks particulary good, I would definetly go for the scale mail sleeve!
