Hey guys, I managed to get into gear and decided to get around sorting out my army. Having a brisk look through old model catalogues were I came across the Chaos Ninja Zombie Dwarf. I found the concept so funny that I decided to make a bunch of Chaos Ninja Dwarfs
Here is the first ninja of the thread
The legs and arms are from the Skaven sprue from Mordhiem, the head and body are from an Empire Militiaman whilst the hat was from a Dwarf Thunderer Buckler
>chuckles< now that dear sir is simply inspirational! Chaos Dwarf Ninjaās sounds like something that could be taken far if you have a whole unit of them - how do you plan to represent them on the battlefield though rules wise? I particularly like the hat, it really brings the conversion out and makes it clear that this is not your normal Dawi Zharr!
However, for myself I would have to say that pirates may just JUST be better than ninjaās for one reason - I have NEVER heard of a ninja with a beer barrelā¦ :o What more can I say? :cheers
Im planning of having a reasonable sized unit of these (possibly about 12-15 with full command). As for the rules, Im planning on using them as an unit of standard Chaos Dwarf Warriors, within my normal dwarf army however, iāll treat them as either miners or as rangers.
Well Baggronor you may be right - perhaps we can design a sort of hybrid thing with the stealthy characterstics and smooth movement of a ninja with the swagger and flamboyance of a pirate - we could call them āPlinjaāsā
Sorry, too much caffeine gives this Panda strange ideas - and I have just noticed Hellfireās signature >gulps<Ā Ā perhaps I should invest in some armour for this forum
Joking mate seriously nice stuff - would you be thinking of greenstuffing some cloth masks over the mouths of some of them as well? That might emphasise the sneaky nature of these little marauders. if you felt really adventureous, the standard bearer could in fact not be a standard at all - but one dwarf at the base of a tree of obelisk of rock, and another dwarf with a runestone or something hanging onto climbing claws halfway up the side! After all, Ninjaās climb lots of things right?
Hey guys, the project was on hold for a bit as Iāve been busy gathering the material required for more ninjas as well as being hit by a very nasty cold. :sick
So watch this space for even more Chaos Ninja Dwarfs :hat off
Iām totally shocked that it looks so good. Iāve never considered a Dwarf head on that manky Skaven bodyā¦ curly hair looks great too!
Give him a bit of a bodysuit though. Getting rid of the fur on the hands, and adding other details that would make him look a little less like his original model.
Hey guys, havenāt posted any pictures for a bit, been busy looking for work. So here is the second of the Chaos Ninja Dwarfsā¦ as some beliefs go, ninjas are masters of stealth, able to blend with the environmentā¦
Conviently, this Chaos Dwarf was infiltrating a tavernā¦
Thanks to RoguePanda for giving me the idea of a 'ninja with a barrelā Also coming soonā¦
Thereā¦ there is a ninja with a beer barrel! >drops his own tankard in amazement<
You have just done the impossible by combining Ninjaās with beerā¦ seriously, I looked at that, pondered for a moment, and fell about laughing for ages! That stuff is just great!
Those other in-progress ninjaās are looking good too - I canāt quite see whatās on their backs, but I am wondering if they are some kind of steam powered grappling line backpacks? Or mechanical smoke machines for a quick getaway?
Regardless, I am going to be keeping an eye out for more gems from you Bloodfire - your stuff is top quality
Yeah the things on the backs of the in progress ninjas are actually where the quivers were from the oringinal models, but i am planning of tidying them up with items such as grapling hooks and pouches
