Welcome, traveller, to the Darklands. Here the Hearlds of Hubris, personal guard of Oxymandias the Mad wage war from their dark towers, enslaving the lesser races, vying for superiority against competing warlords and sorcerers and securing resources to feed the every hungry inustrial machine of Dawi Zharr society.
My “Big Hat” Chaos Dwarf army was originally built to play Age of Sigmar, however it was built in a time when my gaming group was falling out of love with the system. It was, in the end, use to play Warlords of Erewhon, a skirmish system where big round bases did not matter.
However, later on, WHFB began to interest me and my beloved big hats, on their giant lava bases would simply not rank. So, in order to play both systems, I did what any sensible person would do and made a second Chaos Dwarf army, this time inspired by a 1980s aesthetic..
First post in a new blog! Please check out the GALLERY section of this blog to see some of my older miniatures that I have rebased and added little highlights etc to. I’ll be uploading WIPS and finished paint jobs as blog posts moving forward and updating the gallery as I go!
Classic Big Hats given to me by the ever generous Zanko! Standard pin shields (chequerboards no doubt incoming) and did anyone notice a “@tjub -ling “ hat ornament? I’m told it’s all the rage in the darklands
Brilliant! I bet they have the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland somewhere in a deep dungeon cell and force him to produce all those lovely head ornaments
You have such a distinctive and beautiful painting style…there’s just not enough praise I can offer to do justice to your miniatures.
And always a delight to see my sculpts painted up, thank you very much for purchasing them from Admiralty Miniatures
Something about great mace wielding plastic bighats is such a friggin mood. Amazing how much a weapon swap changes the feel of the mini. Not enough bonk sticks in official chaos dwarfs.
Pushpin ON TOP of a hat is also hilarious, plans to copy skull mask Tjublings on top of hat are already in-work. So given the precedent, your daemonsmith will need to have hat + pushpin riser + skull Tjubling. and your sorcerer lord will need all of that except a tjubling with a fireguard hat.
I’ll certainly be back here whenever I need to copy an eye.
That Percival Shellmyar thing is underrated as well. ^^
Or maybe such flavour texts in army project don’t get that many comments in general, but to break this up, it is totally cute!
Finished these off during a hobby hangout with @Hotstuff and @Zoddtheimmortal tonight. Some more classic big hats to join the ranks! Chequerboard and eyeballs to keep @Reaver coming back for more haha
@Zanko thank you once again for donating these to the cause!
And a death rocket. I want to paint it as if lava is being drawn out of the grounds, along the mosaic on the floor and powering it. It’s hard to explain. I’ll give it a go. If it looks like crap I’ll not share it haha
WOW! These all look awesome. I love the shields and the helm decoration on the warriors. The chariot concept looks so fun, and the Balrog is terrifying. Awesome work, can’t wait to see more
I can’t wait to see what else you will present to us!
