The third man

 well... sort of. Simple conversion using horns from the beastmen plastic sprue.

My first mutant

A classic three-armed mutant based on an early-90s Trollslayer, equipped with a second axe, and augmented with the right arm of a Gotrek miniature, and the flail of an old Empire knight. 

Fun to build, less fun to paint, since I'm still struggling with smooth transitions on flesh tones.

Second wave of berserkers

Time for a berserker break? Or more of the same? While I'm reworking (for the third time!) a caparisoned boar rider, I'm also converting some newer Trollslayer miniatures to complement my first 10 Chaos Dwarf berserkers. 

I've recently realised that Aly Morrison designed a few additional miniatures released in the mid-nineties (initially for Marauder Miniatures) that were easier to work with.

So...

The idea behind these new berserkers is that, by dint of eating Chaos Troll flesh, they have begun to develop mutations. Of course, nothing too extravagant (after all, they are dwarfs): horns, fangs, the classic third arm, perhaps twin heads, and maybe one or two oversized hands. As for their armament, they sometimes take pride in wielding the massive weapons left behind by their victims. 

This is my first converted dwarf: the hair was replaced by a crest of horns, the axe was swapped for a Chaos Troll sword... and that's it.
