Symbols are looking great!
Thank you!
Managed to complete the next 5 too
As those that have known me a while will attest to I donāt think Iāve ever painted so much so quickly, I know 10 in 2 weeks may not seem like much but it is a lot for me hopefully itās a good sign, certainly a sign of how much Iām enjoying this scheme on these minis
I wanted to make the Champion stand out so I added some additional red to highlight seniority
Superb!
They look more than excellent.
10 in two weeks is not slow, especially when they look so good.
Yessss! Would love to face beautiful miniatures on the tabletop.
- Got any ideas for basing theme?
- in your head canon where are these guys? The Old World? The mortal realms? Somewhere else?
Thanks guys
@Oxymandias Iāve had this idea of a colour scheme for a long long time and Iāve had a very specific idea for basing too but unfortunately I donāt have the means to make them right now. That was idea for round bases, which they will certainly end up on, but I also like the KoW idea of a little scenic base for units though for now I have something different in mind which I will hopefully be able to show you fairly soon
Not sure actually answered your question there though
A unit of 10 Chaos Dwarfs is pretty big, but just started on something a bit biggerā¦
ā¦ go big or go home
I see you want to ride on a wave of Motivation
Oh, love your style! These will be truly original and dark!
Quality paintjobs! Great stuff!
Man, these are so good.
these are fantastic! one of the best schemes iāve seen on azgorh models. whatās your recipe for the white?
Hi @drogg, welcome to the discord
Thanks for all the kind words again guys, definitely looking to ride the wave @TheHoodedMan
The white starts with a base coat of Zandri Dust, then Pallid Wytch Flesh through an airbrush focusing on the raised areas only really leaving Zandri Dust showing from the very bottom. From there itās all weathering, sponge on Rhinox Hide, add some Mournfang Brown to the centre of big bits of that Rhinox Hide then a very watered down wash of Mournfang Brown to really dirty hat white up. I also put some of my Armour wash along the lines at the same time Iām doing the silver and bronze which a big pot mixed of purple, brown and black washes thinned with medium.
The whole point of this was to be quick and effective so Iām very aware there are a few more steps I could add to make them look a lot better but maybe Iāll save that for some of the main characters rather than rank and fileā¦maybeā¦ or maybe Iāll just do them the same too
I did mean to do a step by step with the second batch I painted but that wave of momentum meant I completely forgot lucky Iāve got 30 more to do
As with most of my minis I always want to make them a little different (if not very different) than the ābox artā so Iāve added some subtle and not subtle changes to this Chaos Dwarf Lord in foot, I also wanted to add the Stormcast head in there as we are quite different from most things in the Warhammer World so hanging one of the poster boys from your belt as a trophy fits you right in you know
Once I was happy with that it was onto the painting which I am currently about half way through.
Iād previously used decals for the shield designs and other runes but the spaces here were too small so I had to freehand these ones
The addition of red to the armour denotes rank so as far as infantry goes this is the top guy, although clearly touched by chaos I did still want them to show some form of dwarven conformity so I like the idea that these markings still mean something to these guys and they still honour the Dwarf in them as much as the Chaos in them
I also stated to play about with the layout of the army in the display board, just to get a rough idea of places and what I should/shouldnāt have outā¦
ā¦not completely obvious now but when itās all done should be nice to look back on these early pics
The lord is coming out really well. Love the purple around the horns and stuff. Chaos Mutation should hurt and it looks like it does!!!
The command model is looking great, and the conversions really make it stand out from the standard model!
This Scheme is amazing, I would love to try and adopt it but I donāt have an airbrush! any chance you could do a step by step?
Thanks all
@Karnus I did mean to do that on some of the latest minis so Iāll try again with the Blunderbuss/Fireglave unit. I like the scheme because the airbrush isnāt essential, just a time saver, so maybe Iāll do one with and without
More WIP whilst Iām hereā¦
So gritty and grim dark. Love it.
