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

[hearts261]

Really incredible stuff. Totally derailed my non-chaos Dwarf project looking at these. Just dug around for the files myself and might have to paint a couple to tide me over. I absolutely love your basing too. both the cluttered nature of it and the coloring.

By leagues and bounds the best chaos dwarf army that I've ever seen! Well done!

[Elbows]

That counts for nothing since no one else makes Chaos Dwarf armies!  (actually seen some much grander ones in my internet travels, mainly mirroring the classic GW scheme which is much more nostalgic!)

Fantastic army.

That's the kind of photo that got me into wargaming back in the day.

Bravo.

I picked up some random terrain sprues for "cheap" on eBay...I've managed to produce some bits from a couple of them.  I know these are parts of an AoS kit(?) but I decontructed them and covered up AoS bits, etc.

Looks like something that might be found in the Dark Lands to me- nice work!

Two of the other sprues I picked up were from one of the Warcry starters.  If I'd looked closer, I probably would't have picked these up, as I didn't realize they had sigmarines carved into every single column...but I bashed them up into some decent little ruins.

Yeah, it's a shame GW is too obsessed with IP to create almost anything not covered with details to make it obvious what universe it's from- you did a great job though, and with the one colour over the whole thing the sigmarines don't stand out too much

[pixelgeek]

I think that they details fade into the terrain when they aren't picked out in a different colour so you should be fine.

At least it didn't have Skaven iconography all over it

[Elbows]

Yeah, I can ignore it suitably well.   

Sadly the last two sprues of the eBay lot I got turned out to be LOTR "corners"...from what I can tell, so now I need to get inventive to find a use for them.

I wouldn't have guessed these were GW... I got very excited that there were terrain sprues I'd not come across before...

I think they look fine: the sigmarines are subtle enough they could be a random heroic warrior. I'm quite happy to use them for my Conan/Arabian Nights setting.

I like the changes you've made to the gryph-hound pedestals and the plaque things. That does do a really good job of making them more generic.

Game #8: After the last game (in which Dwarfs blew up a dungeon bridge, stopping the Chaos Dwarfs from using an abandoned dwarf hold to attack further dwarven targets more easily)...we fast forward a few days to the handful of dwarfs who were cut off inside the dwarf hold (now occupied by Night Goblins).  The rest of the dwarfs have been killed in endless fighting with hordes of Night Goblins and Sneaky Gitz over the past few days.

Basic gist:
-Dwarf force consists of seven dwarf heroes (3x elite, 4x veteran)
-Night Goblins and Sneaky Gitz (and some heroes) are generated using a random table, one unit per turn - arriving at a random door (5 on the map)
-There are four scattered rune shards.  If they dwarfs get three, they can decipher which random door leads to the surface - they must then escape from the dungeon through the door.
-There are five doors, rolling a D6...if a player rolls a '6' they may choose a door.

Result:
-3/7 dwarf heroes survived, managing to escape through the door after they successfully acquired three of the four rune shards.
-Mr. Crowley the dwarf hermit mage who'd been leading these dwarfs was slain(?) by many Night Goblin arrows after a fight with a night goblin shaman.  So he'll be removed from the narrative for a while, if not permanently(?).
-Really fun little game, lots of twists and turns, and bizarre that this "rank-n-flank" game works well with this kind of hero-heavy skirmish.

That looks like a really fun scenario- and the big dungeon set up looks great! Do you recall what manufacturers make your dwarf heroes? Particularly the big spear & beard guy on the bridge- nice classic look to him. Beautiful stuff!

Sadly, several of them are Black Tree Designs...so...pursue at your own risk (and yes, when I ordered them my order took six months, arrived wrong...and they never responded to emails).

They're one of the great travesties in the wargaming space.  If only they could sell their molds to someone who has decent/mature business practices.
