Thanks,

We're planning a 'White Dwarf' style battle report for one of our upcoming games.  Basically taking notes, and quick pictures...then setting up sexier photos (no tokens, dice, visible backgrounds, etc.) for the game, and writing up a proper battle report, etc.  We'll see when we get around to it.

I'm working on some proper Chaos Dwarfs at the moment, and snagged a bunch of Old World kits for my mercenaries - the local store had 25% off Old World, and 3% extra for cash.  I harp on GW for having terrible prices all the time, but while the sprue are old, their Old World kits are far more fair, and even 'reasonable' when you get a discount like that!  lol

Actually...yes.

I finished the absolute slog that is my second unit of proper Chaos Dwarf warriors.  While I love the minis, phew it's a lot of work.  This is likely the last of the warrior units, but there are plenty more units en route!

Army is now of a size that I'm struggling to take good pictures of it, but here is the latest...maybe 5-6 units since my last army picture.



More pics on the blog.

Latest unit is my first small block of Chaos Dwarf Blunderbusses.  They've got warriors mixed in as I plan on running them with some fighty traits to make them more versatile.

Thanks, guys. I admit I struggle painting the proper Chaos Dwarfs because they're rather time intensive...and I start to run out of enthusiasm pretty quick.  However, when I complete a unit, I immediately think "eh, could I do another?"  lol

Still a lot to go...wizards, warlords, centaurs, artillery, taurus, llamasu...a handful more hobgoblins, etc.  I found a superb 'oldhammer' styled Wyvern I wanted for a kind of Hobgoblin king, but it's only in the UK and shipped it's too expensive.  Frustrating.

A trio of ogres that'll serve as mercenaries for the Chaos Dwarfs and Hobgoblins.

Very cool project. Never understood why the Chaos Dwarves were discontinued. Great paint jobs and they really look grand as units!

Those are great looking ogres! I've never seen them before (I assume they are also 3D prints?). Their faces remind me of the Battle Masters ogre and the Old Citadel Giant Ogres (I think that's what they were called- they were going out of production when I first got into the hobby, so I only have vague recollections of them, but I remember big chins...).

Nice work!
