Nobody expects the chaos dwarfs

Their scale is very different to all their contemporaries. Very cartoonish. Always has been. Your prints look right to me :slight_smile:

Dwarfs classified by sculpt for efficient batch painting. In theory i plan to paint one row every day and be done by sunday. I’m curious how long this will actually take.

I am really starting to appreciate the ergonomic qualities of these sculpts. They are like chess pieces, easily grasped by their hats.

It seems like the bull centaur base sizes were adjusted to suit the forgeworld models, so i had to adjust the size of the centaurs themselves

Great job! Can you tell us the scale used?

Thanks! The scale is 150%

I only lasted one day into the challenge. These take far more effort to paint than I anticipated. I am mostly experienced with painting eldar and tau, i just airbrush them a certain color, pick out a few details and accents an they are done. These have different materials on every part of the figure. These two dozen dwarves took as much time to paint as a 2k point tau army.

I love the iron daemon, but the open drivers compartment always made me uneasy. There is a clear threat of good guys climbing up onto the engine and throwing the dwarfs overboard.

I heard someone in a podcast refer to the iron daemon as the ‘chaos version of Thomas the tank engine’

Awesome idea for that angry Thomas

I dispute the use of the term “Ugly”. Everything else is great.

Well painted blunderbusses! Neat results. And welcome to my world. I’ve always collected Dwarfs and my brother has always collected High Elves. Two of the most time-consuming armies to paint, for exactly the reasons you observed there. And I love adding extra layers of equipment, baggage, armour and ornamentation by bits or sculpting, which only worsens the problem. The same goes for Chaos Dwarfs. Skaven and Greenskins or Undead would be a lot easier. 20 years in the hobby and I’ve not yet managed to paint an army. But you’re doing great. Keep it up! :smiley:

And excellent Iron Daemon tweaks and paintjob!

amazing


This took almost a year longer than initially estimated. Nevertheless it looks damn nice when lined up like this with these matching movement trays. I shall take some better photos tomorrow. This army is complete.
