    The Fireborn from my parents-in-law and the other two from @Mrs. NIGHTBRINGER ! :):)

    When Forge World was shutting down all their Chaos Dwarf stuff I gave @Mrs. NIGHTBRINGER a couple of Birthday hints! :D

    Thank you! !.png

    It's half way finished. The Best Close Combat units in all of Warhammer tourney and my painting compete for attention. When I'm into one, its usually heavily at the expense of the other. :oops:

    Thank you my friend!

    The last addition of official Forge World models now that they are discontinued.

    Well a belated happy spawning day, my fellow Knight of Eight!

    That's very sad news. Another piece of 8th being discarded, like pearls being trod into mud by GW swine...

    And the wait is finally over (better late than never? :oops:). I release upon the world: fire, death and ash...

    Thank you! I'm glad you like it. :):)

    I think it really came together pretty well in the end. I was highly skeptical of it mid-way through (which is why I didn't take/post WIP pictures), but I am very pleased with the end result.

    I call that the "Oh No Phase", I have it for almost every model at some point.
    Good job!

    @NIGHTBRINGER
    @Karak Norn Clansman

    other than lexicanum or other online pages, what are books or manuals with CD lore?

    I've found this pdf, which seems amazing, but IDK if it's a thing, as AFAIK the last official "manual" was Tamurkhan

    Thank you!

    The "Oh No Phase" is a scary time. I too have it with most of the models I paint.

    Thanks! I'm glad the flames turned out well, since they comprise the majority of the model and sort of steal the show.

    I'm happy to hear that it was worth the wait! Of course I've fallen quite a bit behind in my quest for a 1000 painted points by year end. Might need to paint something big (points-wise) in the remaining months of the year.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    I pretty much stick with official sources. Tamurkhan is the last official source that I am aware of. If you go way back in the day you have this...

    @Killer Angel , are you thinking of joining the ranks of the Chaos Dwarfs (we could always use another Chaos Dwarf player!)? Or is this for a story project?

    I am not going to collect CD, but they are a fascinating army.
    Hence my question was about fluff: the pdf posted is faithful to the lore? I don’t care about the gaming rules, and unless i can find a pdf of tamurkhan, the prices for a book are just crazy.
