In the ongoing series of what I labelled `Prjoect Insanity` on my blog, in which to try and get an army painted from well, zilch, to a 2000 points force for a small tourney like affair in the club in less then a month, the newest unit has steamrolled of the painting table.

So that makes half a unit to go and then i can finally start preparing my LPL6 entries o_o

Oooh pointy hats :)
Not my cup of tea these models, but the unit has a nice look. I can defenitly see them steamrolling :)
Would love to see a GW bring out a new plastic Chaos dwarf, but at the moment I'm sticking to 3rd ed. dwarfs :p
-
I always have been a sucker for their Babylonian style dawi zharr myself. Even though i have sheer amounts of the old and the new FW style ones, and about everything `alternate` I can get my greedy paws on, it`s the `huge hat, huge gun` of these fellas that won me over to the army waaaay back in `94 when Alan Perry first sculpted them.
And the hats are a god`s blessing to balance templates upon lol
-
I never like balancing templates on my models... overall it's a bad sign when you have too... ::)
Still, can't deny that these guys have a certain charm!
How many of them did you manage to collect?
-
Around 15000 points, all needing a repaint after 15 odd years
-
I really like the big-hats, and this look great. Is that a hoofed foot in the first row, the 3rd from the right.
I look forward to seeing more of your army.
-
I'm afraid I'm a pre-big hat Chaos stunty fan personally, never got these at all, (physically or otherwise) but nice to see new paint on old minis.
Cheers

This...note my avatar... ;) But that said you make these guys look GOOD! I love your color scheme (I use Red and blue for my vanilla dwarfs) and the sheilds are a great choice too...and oh yeah...you excellent painting doesn't hurt either... :D
Nice Work!
15000pts!!! Christ man you should sell those big hats and retire!
Blue

VERY COOL LOOKING! My likes & dislikes in minis are easily change by GREAT brushwork...SO, I love the Lads funny hats, strange beards & all. WELL DONE!
-
Great work! I love those old big hat dwarves....still missing most from my collection though :(
-
That's one big unit of dwarfs!
-
Very nice. Are they based to look like they are in a lava field? Simple, but very effective.
-
Thanks all for the comments
@ Blue in VT: it`s the retirement plan for in about 30 years lol
@ Bobbo: yeah, breaks up the otherwise dull looking grey of the bases. And I didn`t want to base my `love army` on the all to common green bases.
-
Looks great to me but might look a tad better if you were to base them more looking forward than on an angle.
-
Forward basing and warhammer to me is a big nono, units never tend to line up neatly as shields and weapons tend to be broader then the `footprint` of the model
-
Nice paints on those!
Chaos dwarfs have been on my mind lately... I want a unit of them as allies for my Chaos army but don't quite have enough of either style.
D'ya think with the right paint on 'em the older/newer could be convincingly mixed? I'm not really seeing it... I like the big-hats but they're just not all that Chaotic.
