I have recently been asked to do a small commission for a fellow Chaos Dwarf junkie who liked the MM90s of mine that he saw. But he didn't ask me to paint more CDs for him...he already had a complete set painted....he asked me to paint some of the chaos warriors that the MM90s were modeled after....So he sent up a box with the warriors and the corresponding MM90's that he had already painted. I used his models for inspiration in completing the Warriors. here are some shots of the first three with their CD counterparts...more pictures on my blog.

Cheers,

Blue

Great work, Blue!

I thought I was a bit of an old-school geek, but I did not realise that that particular CD range were mini-me's of their taller cousins.

Superb!

Ah great...yet more evidence that I'm an even larger Geek!

that won't surprise the wife any!

Not all the MM90s were modeled after their larger brethren...but enough to make it quite interesting...I pulled this picture together in hurry but it gives you the comparisons side by side

I have to say that I prefer the MM90s in most cases...the beard breaks up the massive amount of armor a bit...but both are fun to paint.

Cheers,

Blue

Nice bit of painting there Blue.

Thanks for the comparison pics, Blue.

May have to look out for some of them.
I have a couple of the CW's, a mini-me of one of them would be great!

Hmmmm.........

Wow, I never knew that either. Great work on all of them! I love the purple/red armour especially!

I love the way you do your metalwork; it has a tremendous depth to it. All VERY WELL DONE!

Nice models, even nicer metallics! I wonder why GW withdrew the old metallic purple, green, blue etc? Is that what you used?

Like this mini-project of yours - and the painted examples looks (as usual) great. Like your I do rate the MM90 much higher. Aly M. did a great job doing the Marauder Chaos Dwarfs - and their 25/28mm versions don't match their quality, IMO - but still nice seeing somebody actually taking this challenge. We (the guys at Chaos-dwarfs.com) have spoken of this often, but not many have completed this research by actually painting them all. Will be interesting seeing if you complete this task

thanks mate! The Dwarfs are painted with the old Citadel colored metalics but as I don't have access to them I am making do with my normal silver armor technique and some washes...mostly reaper...seems to working so far but I'm not happy with the blue one I'm working on right now.

@clam...Well this task I have to finish as its a commission...and I have already recieved payment....in the form of old lead! so no choice there. I have also begun to assemble these figures for myself...when I paint up my version I plan to add GS beards to the Chaos Warriors as they will be part of my Chaos Dwarf warband....with the dwarfs in command!

Cheers,
