Blog NIGHTBRINGER's Painting Blog - 1000 point (not so) year end Chaos Dwarfs challenge (78.2%)

Hahaha... not to worry, you're much more productive overall. I'm sure by year's end you'll be far ahead of me!

 

With two thin coats to boot!

 

Not even the overall legend and meme-god that is Duncan Rhodes?

 

Settra > Duncan

 

Needed some Monstrous Cavalry bases...



The holes on the underside are for magnet insertion.

 

I don’t see picture.

 

I re-uploaded the picture in the post. Is it visible now?

 

There it is.

 

What are they going to be used for? Necropolis Knights?

 

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur Renders and Bull Centaur Taur'ruk.

Necropolis Knights have longer bases. These bases are 50x75, which is the same size as used by things like Skullcrushers.

 

Why finish what I started, when I can start something new?! lol

Since a K'daai Destroyer model was never released by GW or Forge World, a conversion/proxy must be found. According to the lore: "K'daai Destroyers are massive constructs fashioned into the form of mighty warriors or iron-beasts, such as gargantuan monstrous bulls and other nightmarish creatures, awakened by mass blood sacrifice and set lose upon the enemy". As such, this provides me with a unique opportunity to pick up a monster sculpt that I've always loved from an army that I do not own. My choice... a Stonehorn from the Ogre Kingdoms (Ogor Mawtribes for you AoS players). I've always loved the model, but since I don't own an Ogre Kingdoms army, I never picked one up. I must say that I'm very impressed with the model. A great sculpt with amazing spare bits.



Being a mighty metal construct with a fire daemon bound to it, I obviously won't be using the Ogre riders (although I'm sure they will be useful for something else down the road). That leaves me with a small section on top of the model where the saddle would normally be seated. I have decided to place a rune there with the idea that the Chaos Dwarfs enslaved the daemon to their constructed armored framework with "rune-stamped bronze".


For my rune I decided to do my take on a Chaos Dwarf glyph found in the Tamurkhan book. I thought this would be fitting...


So I redrew the glyph, making it more suitable for cutting on my scroll saw. I made it significantly thicker and more stout. I cut it out of 1/8" acrylic. And filled in the gap with green stuff and adhered the glyph to it. (don't mind the black markings, they were not drawn on very well so I decided to eyeball it instead)







I plan to paint the head, body and base all separately and assemble them afterwards. I'm currently working on the base. I guess that is all for now, cheers,

 

Dawi zharr? Thats a grudgin.

 

What is a grudgin?

 

What a great conversion idea! I look forward to seeing it when it’s complete!

I think he means that it’s worthy of a grudge, but as far as I know he isn’t a Dwarf player so doesn’t really have any right to declare a grudge, but I’m not fluent in American Khazalid, only British Khazalid

 

Thank you kind sir! I hope to have updates for this thread soon(ish)

 

Oh well in that case I look forward to seeing something become of it in the next few decades

 

Come on, give me some credit, I'm fairly certain I can get it completed within this decade
