I think the weapon effect looks awesome however I don’t think it fits with the grimdark style.
The runes fit nicely though! Subtle enough not to distract from the other details, very good work!
I look forward to the step by step if you have the energy 
So that step by step we were talking about…
The idea behind this is to be quick and easy so there some steps you could add if you were painting a character or alternative methods to get the same effect but I’ve gone for the easiest and quickest way here
Love it! Great little tutorial for a lovely technique
Very good tutorial! I’ll have to test this. Good job, Ghrask!
Cheers guys,
Went back to the big guy yesterday to redo the wings (second attempt at these, wasn’t happy with the first) and look to do a bit of work on his skin too, again looking to keep it relatively simple to help with finishing this stuff 
Just like the horns on the earlier Castellan I like the raw look of the wings and the fact that they look it’s painful just to spread those them out all adding the bitterness of their demeanor.
Thinking again about some kind of narrative behind this army ala @HashutsBlessing 's good advice I think the pain they are constantly living with is the driving force behind a lot of their actions. Much like the Emperor designed Darth Vader suit to ensure he is in a constant state of discomfort and pain. The pain these guys are suffer is also the result of being manipulated by the one that rules over them…the one and only Astrogoth will eventually head up this army with a conversion I’ve wanted to do for a long long time.
But lots of work to do before that one
Those are some fine wing membranes! Great going.
Oh those wings are just epic!!!
Very cool!
Just epic! 
Incredibly sore looking! Beautiful work (and thanks for the kind words). I think that backstory is great and I’m super-intrigued to hear/see more about your Astragoth too 
A bit of fun…
…been a very busy week and needed a bit of calm so I drew out some of our amazing Chaos Dwarfs artwork to ‘colour in’ (I believe it’s from Igorvet?) and it did the trick, very much enjoyed this one
Great work! Yep, Igorvet to go by the style. Lovely colours. It is indeed relaxing to paint and draw. :26:
Revisited these yesterday, very happy with progress but nothing to show yet, Battle Against the Grey and them going OOP has been the motivation behind the return
I’m thinking of changing up the bases, maybe something a little more classic Chaos Dwarfs like black rock and lava or I may go a more desert route like my Dark Angels
Although painting has not been done for while as 40k Crusade and Blood Bowl have come to the fore I’ve still been thinking about this army and fluff, just to keep the project alive whilst on hold.
Astrogoth now it is safe to assume has been spending more time with Nagash given the ferrying of souls we do in AoS, for me Astrogoth has has been intrigued by the, what he finds hilarious, trick that Nagash has played on the Flesh Eater Courts. To have that amount of control over others, the sort of power to change their very existence to his very will is something that had intrigued Astrogoth and so he has played it out in his own cruel experiment here.
So building on the previous idea of being ruled or controlled by one I thought the unkept bleached armour of these Chaos Dwarfs is the reality we see, covered in runes that keep them under the delusion Astrogoth has planned out for them. Closely ruled over by only a few trusted Sorcerer Lords these broken unkept souls of Dwarfs believe themselves covered in the honoured bright red dragon scale armour of old and hats that stand tall on their head to denote the glory and respect they deserve from their fellow Dwarfs, they are living a truly blessed life even regarded by Hashut himself, but in reality these crude and painful helms are what they wear instead.
Only the Sorcerer Lord and the a retinue of revered Bull Centaurs are aware of the deception, the Sorcerer Lord on his Bull Taurus looks to seek the good graces of Astrogoth by turning this experiment into a success and the Bull Centaurs, much like Astrogoth, see this as particularly amusing and so follow with a humoured curiosity more than anything else.
Again just a germ of an idea for now, building on the wonderful Flesh Easter Courts lore
Love it! Perfect style for CDs IMO… 
man that’s beautiful! Reminds me of Uderzo’s work when he was drawing Asterix!!
Nice! I really like the glowing eyes, you make me want to take a closer look at my own Great Bull :26:
Cheers @denelian5 got a bit more of the armour done too
I may have to rethink my fluff a bit too, Astrogoth may have tricked the Sorcerer Lord too as this armour has also gone the worn and wasted way…actually it may have been the ambition of this Sorcerer Lord that caused him and his retinue of Dawi to be the subjects of Astrogoths cruel experiments 
The eyes on that bull are class!
