Abyssal Dwarf Photo Shoot!

I realized there is a large gap from my finished chaos dwarf army pics and now.  In between those posts there were actually quite a few things painted for the army because my first list was torn apart in practice games.  So I thought that giving all the models some updated photos was the only decent thing to do...

I did experiment with using a lammassu but things never worked out with it though perhaps KoW will see it hit the table in something other than Warhammer Quest.

Various characters now slave drivers (who I think are VASTLY under rated in the game) and iron casters.

The Bull Centaur Tau'Ruk from forge world now being used as a Grotesque Champion.

So like most chaos dwarf players in 8th edition I had more of a desire to play the army than I had a wallet to afford it.  So I had to improvise a little with parts I had lying around.  This heavy Grog Mortar is made of  a GW paint pot, Goblin wolf chariot and a few 40k parts.  The crew of course are regular dwarves that have had their beard upgraded to the slightly superior evil dwarf variety.

And for the magma cannons (now regular grog mortars) I used a reaper cannon with some parts made from 40k imperial guard bits, dwarf bits and chapstic caps.

Mantic's goblins are not excatly my favorite models to work with as they have many issues.  However with a lot of time and care they come out looking fairly good.  Plus now I can use them for some interesting ally hijinks.

Part of those hijinks are converting my Daemon engine (which was a huge help in the tournament) into a goblin mincer.

The old infernal guard from forge world are now my Immortals.  The little guy in the middle as a unit filler is a reaper dwarf that begged me to paint him.

Tournament Army is Finished!

Got all of those tiny evil dwarf things done finally!  This will be the 2500 point tourney army I'll be taking to King of the Mountain in November:

Totally forgot to include the extra Daemonsmith in here... tsk...

The Kadai Destroyer (Aka Moo Cow of Doom) is a Mcfarlane Zodiac Figure with a few added touches of fire.

There is a nice half and half mix of the Russian Alternative Chaos Dwarves in here.  Those little metal guys are AMAZING for the price they more than give forgeworld a run for their money.

The Hobocav of course have old chaos puppies as mounts to make them more evil?

And the Hobo Khan in all his expendable glory.

Speaking of expendable these hobos were made from the Mantic goblins.  I Don't recommend them they really are just terrible models with little detail.  Too bad as I like a lot of their other stuff...

Of course good old forgeworld Infernal Guard.  This is one of the few fully 'official'  units in the whole army (the unpainted bull centaurs being the only other one).

And that's the whole 2500 points.  Not bad for a 5 month ish project.

Chaos Dwarves!

Hey look yet another great excuse to make lava bases!  I've been working on 2500 points of these little guys to take to a GT later on.  Being a man of little means I'm doing them on the cheapish side so up first are heavily converted Magma Cannons!

And since I knew I was keeping some of those GW paint pots fora reason I made a dread quake mortar.  Most of the war machines have been made out of spare parts I just purchased a reaper minis cannon so it was nice to save a ton of cash.

And yet more scratch builds with a Prophet on Bale Taurus.  This guy was built off of a toy bull for a grand total of $20 and way to many hours of work.

currently down to only 30 infantry left to paint and another 5 cavalry but lots and lots of bases so more pics to come.

Spoils of War

Since I have a decent amount of projects on the table right now that are half finished I thought I might as well show off a few older projects.  Since these are older pics please excuse the even worse camera work than normal.

For a while I was providing prize support for local tournaments in the form of free painting services.  These random assortment of models are a result of just such a crazy idea.

First off the always fun looking mangler squig with a few mushrooms to top him off!

This was oddly enough my first tyranid model ever which was a fun new experience.

A few of the skaven from the fantasy starter set.

Yes the same player got another model as a prize but I just knew it needed some glowing pink lights!

speaking of pink here's a guardsman named bob, no relation.

And finally a night lord chaos marine.

It was certainly fun each month to have some kind of random model to paint out of the blue.  Never hurts to keep things random and interesting that's for sure.

Bloody Elves!

finished up the second half of the island of blood starter set for the local game stores demo:

Here There Be DWARVES!

So as a gift to myself I've been taking some time off from commission work and instead finishing some of my own minis.  So to continue with the random parade of fun the first dwarf unit!

Rats, Ughhhh

There are few things I dislike painting more than skaven.  But hey the demo set for the local game store is DONE!  Thank the horned one!

Gotta what?

Been working on this commission for a while.  This one is a special request ever since the bastilidon came out.

Managed to get the skaven slaves for WHQ done as well made from the reaper bones kohbolds which look pretty spiffy if I do say so myself.

 And of course a few pics of some older quest work the winged serpent and stormvermin all ready to inhabit dungeons a plenty!
