In exchange for some dwarf slaves, the Sorcerer-Prophet Jasko has sent me a new emissary! It’s a really nice miniature and I really like the paint job on it!
To the great delight of the demonsmiths, the emissary also brought with him components for state-of-the-art, demon-imbued spear throwers, with the aim of duplicating them and making the armies of the Dawi Zhaar even more effective and deadly.
The original message from the Sorcerer-Prophet Jasko is attached:
Very glad my ambassador arrived safely after the perilous journey through the Dehael wasteland and he is to your liking. 
thanks again for the kingly gift of valuable Dwarf slaves.
After what feels like ages i have managed to paint some models again, there are 3 banner bearers. I don’t have enough of them, so this was necessary.
I was given a Chaos Dwarf tower by a member of a German forum, and I think it’s just terrific (especially for a “side project”)! I would never have managed such a great building in such a quality. I am “flashed”!
Damn that’s wicked cool!
Even though my Fimir troop is taking up most of my hobby time at the moment, I have still managed to get something done (apart from the AC-enty).
This is, who would have thought it, my AC XXXIX entry:
Tauragak Gazherak was unlucky. Just because he had slain this pockmarked and stinking demon, he is now marked. He could no longer take off his armor, not only because of the spikes on his back, it was firmly fused to his skin. He also had only one eye left, like a filthy useless cyclops.
Tauragak grumbled to himself as the troop of beastmen appeared in front of him.
After a long and bloody battle, he had slaughtered the beastmen and discovered that he could now also cast spells and that his shield had come to life and now served him as a mount.
Tauragak was a lucky man, he was blessed. Only which god had blessed him wasn’t quite clear to him at the moment …
I need your help. I got the Archaon model from AoS cheaply.
This model:
I want to use the mount for my chaos dwarves, of course. However, the saddle is quite large, which means I would need a fairly large chaos dwarf as a rider.
But where can I get such a model?
That’s where you come in, do you know such a model, or could one of you print me a suitable model?
I’m a bit at a loss at the moment. 
I am not sure if he would fit the saddle as he comes with parts of his own seat, but I have an extra Drazhoath the Ashen from the FW Winged Taurus lying around if you are interested. I cannot speak to provenance (came in an eBay lot with a bunch of other CD stuff many years ago). I willl dig him out and take pics, and see if I have all of his hand bits.
That definitely sounds great! I would take the model either way. I would also remove the saddle on the Archaon mount if necessary, with a bit of luck it could easily fit.
What would you like for the model? You can think about it. Everything else by PM.
So the mount for my chaos dwarf Sorcerer-Prophet is in progress. The clunky and oversized human has been removed and given away. The saddle has been snapped off and a Chaos Dwarf saddle has been fitted.
Now finish sculpting the Sorcerer Prophet and then it’s time to prime. By the way, the rider is from @Jackswift
Zhak Drakh looked at his work with satisfaction.
After much effort, he had achieved what many of his ancestors had only dreamed of. He had not only bound one or two demons, no, he had bound three. And what’s more, they weren’t just any demons, they were three Great Demons of the three great Chaos Gods. Now they were all part of his work, his new mount.
Together with the troops of his master, the Overlord Zagor the Lizardking, his troops - the Frurndar of Uzkulak - and him Zhak Drakh his new “weapon”, the cards will be reshuffled in the eternal struggle for influence and power among the Dawi Zharr.

I’ve been really excited about a model for a long time. The longer I look at it, the better I like it! My problem is, on the one hand, to do the model even halfway justice with my painting and, on the other hand, to find a suitable color scheme. As I have often been quite impulsive in my color choices, I would now like to think and reflect a little more. Will I manage it? Probably only to a limited extent! 
Ok…dont pick a colour…use several different ones. You can have the main body colour…say red. The under belly cream. Each head a different colour from the body purple blue and green. Blend it in with drybrushing and a dark wash over the top. Its massive…put the time in!
Just a random idea…im not familiar with the model. It is the 1st idea i thought of…id probably have many more in about 1 minute…
No, no, the model should not be momochrome. The 3 heads should already have the colors of the respective chaos gods. I just don’t know how to paint the body and wings yet. One idea would be to keep it in violet to include the 4th chaos god after all. Or something completely different, maybe black for the body and beige for the wings … 
So, the lead mountain has grown again. The order from Knightmare Miniatures has arrived. When it’s a little cooler (currently 33°C and very humid), I’ll base the models and take some pictures.
They make some great stuff!! Can’t wait to see what you got!!
