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

Lovely units! I'd heard that same ebay story and have seen the big hats go for ridiculous sums of money whilst the original renegade dwarf sculpts went for a fraction of the cost. I understand Fabelzel isn't producing any new sculpts and was shutting down his Patreon?

[Elbows]

I only bought them through an ebay/etsy seller, but yes I have heard Fabelzel just had a daughter and is not sculpting at the moment?  Not entirely sure.  It does look like he covers most of the bases, which is nice.

I received some Brawniac sculpts as freebies from the same printer but don't care for them near as much and won't be using them.

A small detachment of Hobgoblin 'sneaky gits' completed this afternoon.

My favourite backstabbing b*stards 

You've absolutely done them justice and I really like the muted colours you've used. A great addition to your army!

[Elbows]

Thanks, I'm the least happy with them of all the units, but...I'll cope.    I have another detachment of four bases which I'll do shortly.

[Frugalmax]

Excellent! These units look great, and I really like the way that the "three models per base" allows for positioning them in realistic ways. Great work!

[Elbows]

It's also all that fits on a 40mm..and it's pushing it for some models (hence why command bases only have two!).  It helps though, since most units only have three poses, so I have to get inventive.

They look cool. I always wanted a unit of these guys for my Orcs and goblins WFB army because having hobgoblins in your army made them immune to animosity. Kind of a broken rule that one.

[Elbows]

Having a game this evening and one tomorrow...so time to blood the Chaos Dwarfs.  I don't have an ideal army, but enough to run some games.  I finished my first unit of Wolf Riders and my first hero, a general.

[beefcake]

Very nice. The general looks great. I love the white beard and moustache.
The hobgoblins look great, I'm not sold on the sculpts for the wolves though they look slightly Disney to me. You've done a nice PJ on them though and they'll look great on the tabletop.

NGL I take pride in helping funding those fabelzel models they are fantastic

[Elbows]

Yeah, if I hadn't stumbled up on his sculpts I would have never bothered with the army.  The ability to buy 95% of the army from the same sculptor sold me.  Having everything stylistically the same is huge for me.  I've seen some other sculptors doing Chaos Dwarf stuff, but none of them are doing it in the Perry style of the 90's, and they don't 'meld'.

Fabelzel's stuff is also excellent because it's designed for gaming...everything is chunky in the way the old GW metals were.  I see a LOT of 3D sculptors get carried away with 'true scale', and ultra fine details, etc...not this stuff.  It's absolutely sculpted perfectly for painting and more robust than a lot of the other resin stuff I've received for other projects.

The sculpts really are good, and your painting makes them come alive.

I'm actually tempted of having a friend print a couple or so for me since I see a few sculpts here and there that wouldn't look too out of place in a regular dwarf unit with the right paint job.

[Gibby]

Fantastic army, really great painting! I love the classic Chaos Dwarfs, and I've got a load of the Fabelzel stuff favourited on Etsy for when the time comes.
