Greetings! The release of Warhammer: The Old World has put fire in my belly and as a part of #Darkforged2024 I plan to make an entirely new Chaos Dwarfs army!
You may have recently seen the force that I rebased for Adepticon:
This is already close to 2000 points in TOE, but I’m hoping to add some K’daai and some Renders, asking with another War Machine or two. Plus those new Wolf Riders look pretty cool.
Here are the other two armies thatI have on the go for The Old World:
Everything has become so easy. Consider in the original CDO days, unless you were absolutely loaded and were going to buy entire oop metal armies, the only option was DIY.
Even a few years ago it was a bit like this…
But the options we have now! So much choice. Hobgrots opened a lot of doors. And 3rd party for selection for chaos dwarf minis now …spoiled for choice
Your old Chaos Dwarf army is a wonder. It encapsulates the Hellcannon aesthetic, of which I’m a lifelong fan. Thank you for putting in the work to make that classic marvel. Your new Chaos Dwarf force looks promising, as does the other two armies.
Best of luck, and good work representing us at Adepticon!
Lovely business cards! Sweet look. Should it be discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com on the business cards, by the way? www.chaos-dwarfs.com leads to old CDO, and it seem the banner on top of the old site that directs people to new CDO is down. If the redirecting banner was returned, then the business cards will still work just fine. Just a thought. I guess they are old prints put to good use.
Neat and easy bow conversion there. Do you plan to string them?
@Oxymandias : I’m stuck at the other end of the ease spectrum. Next year I hope to get around to handsculpting five rank and file very Scythian Hobgoblins on foot for casting (or at least scanning, should finances not allow casting). Long-planned project, and they’ll be the most detailed R&F Hobbos ever put out. Call it the Chaos Dwarfs Online syndrome: You join, you catch something nasty, and suddenly you’ve become a sculptor.
Ah, very good! I went via my instinctive bookmark link to the forum, but without /forum at the end it goes to the frontpage. Of course. All in order, my mistake. Lovely business cards, again.
I’ve read the lovely news post here, but haven’t checked out the campaign page before now. Wonderful campaign! I won’t have time for my own collection this year, so can’t join in, but it is tempting.
Mate - look at the Zonk debacle. That was only able to go ahead because of gamers thirsty for chorfs. I own many zonks (well, some metal and some digital “Karma” dwarfs) and can tell you they are rudimentary compared to what @Fabelzel and @Brawniac are making now.
Still love my zonks - ugly and brilliant and a part of CDO history. But would they stand up on their own if made today and going toe to toe with Zel and Brawn?
I will always be salty I didnt buy when forgeworld were available, BUT! Now is the best time in a long time to star whipping the hobgoblins as an angry stunty
