Chaos Dwarfs of the Underway

Thanks, glad you like the steampunk look :slight_smile: It’s been fairly hit or miss on finding the best kits to work with the aesthetic, the Kolossus I’m working on is currently on the back burner as its looking a little to sci-fi for the project. May try sculpting a mask or adding some more gears.

Thanks everyone, will try a few different mock ups this weekend, and I’ll keep an eye out for Domintor parts, there are a few bits from the kit which look great for conversions :slight_smile:

Current kitbash for the Kolossus, with a bit of insperation from the current dominator

Here’s a rough scale for reference

Army Update

Looking for a challenge over the next few months I’ve made the decision to merge my three current projects into one larger army. Will be using the Chaos Dwarfs Renegades list for the army comp, as it provides the best flexibility for the project. Will be updating as the project continues with lore, and hopefully will find the time to touch up and repaint some of the existing army.

The Expeditionary Force of the Underway

Some of the lists will likely be changed in the future as the project becomes more organised. The other sections of this army will be organised separately from this project page, currently this is a compiled list of the the ongoing overall project for reference purposes. Roughly 6000 points in total, I will be breaking down the size of the project into the three separate parts. Below is a summary of the current overall project followed by the three sections listed afterwards.

1999

The Stingrays of Luccini

This will be the largest departure model wise from the classic dwarf aesthetic, as all the models in this project will be man shaped. Had been playing around with the idea of a dogs of war or pirate army the last few months, and have decided to combine the two into one project. I’ll will be running this crew as a kind auxiliary force for hire using the current army rules.

To fire and glaive is this crews preferred tactic, firing their handguns, and afterwards rushing into the closest of quarters with their single-edged chopping blades.

What have you used to convert them with great weapons greatly interested in how you have done

They are bits from the Dwarven miners kit, and the Chaos Warriors great weapons upgrade set. It all fit rather well together with the existing forge world sculpts, just required a little trimming on the pickaxes from the miners set, a well as on the hands of both kits. While the unit champions are made from bits of the infernal guard standard bearers, and black orc great weapons.
