They came from the Dark Lands...(Chaos Dwarf project)

Yeah, they're by the same Fabelzel sculptor - not sure what they're supposed to mimic as they're quite large (and definitely "old school" styled).  I actually ordered one for a different game...and got the other two as freebies with other orders.  These were not really part of the plan, but when I ended up with three of them I figured a cool little narrative mercenary group of ogres - maybe brothers.  Easy to slot in and make up points.

My Hobgoblins, for example, when running by themselves, don't have any heavier hitting stuff, so some ogre buddies might be a solid idea.

Got bored today and cleaned/primed/painted this classic piece.  A 3D sculpt kit-bash, but perfectly mirrors the original.

They look Heroquest inspired to me. A nice addition to your fabulous CD army.

I wish my boredom was that productive!

So we wrapped up the first "chapter" of our narrative campaign on Sunday.  A quick recap of the test campaign so far:

Game 01: Hobgoblin raiding party attacks a Dwarf caravan heading toward Barak Varr.  The caravan narrowly escapes, but a Dwarf captain and his son are taken captive.

Game 02: The Hobgoblins attack and hinder the Dwarf search party which has enlisted some mercenary help.

Game 03: Dwarf rangers located the Hobgoblins in an abandoned mansion in the middle of the forest and attack at night, trying to rescue the prisoners.  They narrowly fail.

Game 04: The Chaos Dwarfs finally arrive, with sorcerers setting up a ritual to execute the Dwarfs.  The Dwarfs attack the ritual site with the help of mercenaries, but narrowly fail to stop the ritual.  Both the Dwarf captain and his son are executed by Chaos Dwarf sorcerers.

As always, more pics on the blog.  Not many great pics this time though!

nice looking table - love those statues

Sounds like the non-chaos dwarves got pretty trounced! They may have to reconsider their gods. Great pictures again, thanks for sharing!

With help from this forum I found and painted (poorly) a bunch of prisoners, and a flamethrower unit (which I got as a freebie from the guy who prints my stuff).

The prisoners will be scenario fodder, but can also serve as a unit with the special "sacrificial" trait...allowing them to be murdered and fed into a cannon or something equally grisly.





The flamethrower will be either a stationary "artillery" piece, or more likely it'll be slotted into units which take the 'auxiliary missiles' trait.  Basically just slot it into an existing Chaos Dwarf unit.

That prisoner unit is BRILLIANT! Love it!
Cheers & thanks for posting

[Basementboy]

Loving the prisoner unit! They look so wonderfully (horribly?) emaciated, really nice work. Love the flamethrower too!

[Freddy]

Great idea, wonderfully executed!

[blacksoilbill]

Those prisoners are so full of character. Outstanding!

[beefcake]

Love those prisoners! The guards with them are great too and the flamethrower is very nicely painted!

[Frugalmax]

The prisoner unit came out great! And I like those mancatcher-wielding guys. Also cool to see the variations on headgear that the sculptor has given the Chaos Dwarves. It all fits the theme of the big hats, but they're not all the same. Great work!

[Elbows]

Yeah, there are a lot of hats!  Painting each one is almost like painting a separate figure.
