I finally made it here to start the topic for my slowly growing Chaos Dwarfs army. Really happy to be here!
The army is for playing the game of The Ninth Age (which is an absolutely fantastic project).
The concept for the army is 3ed. themed Chaos Dwarfs (Renegades). So all the dwarves wear chaos armor and have helmets and are basically mini chaos warriors. I’d like to give the army the feeling of dark / goofy (funny mixture).
The best pick was to mix the Warp Miniatures Dark Dwarves with the original CD Renegades from GW + some various models from different ranges/companies as seem fit.
I was long thinking about the paint scheme, and finally decided to make an atypical green armor for the dwarves and add oldhammer vibes by adding bright colors (like the orange gloves and shoes) and the iconic oldhammer red wood.
Mine finally ended a different color (I guess the paint colors changed a bit after an update), but I guess it ended even moe interesting than in the video (more alive).
For the bases I decided to go a Darklands theme (dry, rusty earth, Mars-like). I bought AK Interactive Fire Land and pigments and decided to go for something like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XwnpwiwUEU
I’m still thinking about the finishing and details of the bases - maybe add a mix of red and black tufts.
Nice shout from the discord here @Solo I’ve missed a few of these until today.
What a great collection, I love that red you’ve picked up against that green (I’m also a fan of Cult of Paint if you are too, looking forward to seeing what they do with HoH).
I also went for green back in the day for my Marauder minis, a lot darker though. I think it really suits this style.
I think the Lammasu conversion is my favourite though, love that Marauder Mage and the demon next to him makes them look really powerful
I just don’t watch Cult of Paint on a daily basis. Oh boy, they paint really well!
