Second post dedicated to my Chaos Dwarfs fanatics.
- "Captain Caveman" is based on Chaos Dwarf MM90/5a. I replaced the armoured bits with bare feet from a rather ugly Marauder MM20/1 orc (no regrets!) and swapped the left hand for one from a MM97 Beastman holding a spear. The original axe was replaced with a hook cut from an old Chaos Marauder plastic banner.
- After the drummer, this warrior is my second use of the Troll Slayer MM16/1. This time, both swords were removed: one was replaced by a gauntlet taken from the Khorne Blood Bowl team, and the other, by an axe from the old Beastmen plastic sprue. The belly piercing was made using a piece of a ghoul's arm, and the mask was crafted from the skull placed on top of the old Beastmen plastic banner. IMO, not my best model: I'll hide him in the second rank.
- This one is my first (and so far only) use of a Giant Slayer miniature (MM16/7). Only minor modifications were made to this model: mainly adding a skull-shaped belly armour, and covering the Celtic patterns on the axe blade.
And here we are with a trio of bloodthirsty berserkers.
Awesome work on these classics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteThey look great
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot
DeleteExcellent paintjobs!!
ReplyDeleteI could never get behind helmeted Dwarfs much, as more often than not they were all sculpted with tiny heads.
Normal head = fine.
Dwarf with a helmet, head the size of a thumb. So many sculpts that did this it boggled my mind!!
Right. Captain Caveman's head looks incredibly small compared to his mates. But to be fair, all the proportions of the Chaos dwarfs can be... let's say... odd... the legs in particular are very very small... not easy to make convincing boar riders with these models! (on-going conversions)
DeleteYet some are OK, it is the one thing that put me off collecting Dwarfs, the random shrinking heads, not just limited to 25mm either, there are 10mm Dwarfs with the same problem...
DeleteBoar Riders?!! That will be a challenge, good luck!
