Blog Painting of Renown! (Just kidding... but this is my blog)

Thanks buddy! All glory to the Father of Darkness!

Exactly.

I've got a couple of little bits to finish on other in-progress models and then I'm doing my K'daai Destroyer!

 

I noticed that, and the fact in lore that these chaps advance ahead of the Chaos Dwarf armies, I'd like to think, suggests a full plastic range of Dawi-Zharr is coming at some point soon...

 

Yeah... not a fan to be honest.

 

I really like how the giant turned out! It has been fun to follow the process, and I like the originality of it, with the scratch built armor and the runes. Great work.

 

I have enjoyed your updates on this immensely. I'm so glad the runes came out well, and he looks ready to smash.

 

The models may be ass, but it opens the door for personal conversions (of whatever makeup of bitz you choose) for hashut to have a legion of followers.

Its the same as how I justify my kruleboyz-marauders conversions. not all servants of darkness look alike, and all that's needed for game requirements is the model be on the same base and have an equivalent load out.

Frankly I'm envisioning Byzantine plastics with hexagonal shields bearing Hashut's rune, for example.

 

Thanks guys. Your words mean a lot to me.

 

Exactly. I wouldn't buy them.

 

Beastman Ambush Intensifies

I get your point now that I've looked through the PDF copy of Tamurkhan I scavenged online, but the real reason for my previous words on it was that it would be an awful shame to spend all that time making and painting that great Siege Giant conversion, and then not use him often simply because he's a 'subpar choice' compared to the OP Destroyer. If you care that much about competitiveness, it makes me wonder why you even bothered to convert him in the first place when you could just have gone straight to making a Destroyer.

 

I think you may have misinterpreted my posts. I did the model because I wanted to do a conversion and this seemed like a great one to start with.

I like making smart lists. I like working out lists that have the best chances for success. However, what you're saying here makes me sound like a power gamer, which I'm not.

As above, I wanted to do a conversion and this seemed like a good way to ease myself into doing them. This is my first ever.

 

I do recall you saying that this was your intro to conversions, I was simply saying that it would be a shame to not use him much, after all the work you put into making and painting him. He's a well-made model that deserves to be shown off on the battlefield as an awesome conversion you made and painted yourself, as part of a few games with the rest of your army, just like any other model you will convert in the future.

I'm glad to hear that

 

Two sides to the hobby. I have a troglodon model even though I will never field it in a game.

 

Oh go on, do it just once, and take a picture of it in action to show us all, before it goes back into the storage box again for the rest of eternity

 

So the contest of Chaos Dwarfs Online is over. I didn't get any medal, but I got an honorable mention as I was very close behind the three winners.

I'm taking that as a win!

So, now I can post all of the pictures. I'm really, really happy with how these guys turned out.

The whole theme of my Chaos Dwarfs is that they are the "Army of Ash and Flame" meaning they've been around the furnaces of the Chaos Dwarfs for so long that first their very skin has turned to ash and those especially chosen have become living flame or lava.







I really liked the basing I did on the Taur-ruk, as if where he put his foot down turns to lava.

 

I love what you have done with them. Very thematic and it works great!
The distinction of the Taur-ruk is genius

Great work, I did not notice it yet, but it is amazing!

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Unlucky that you missed out on the top 3 and the random draws, but I was pleased to see the top 3 were worthy winners, certainly the best painted of the lot alongside yours.

A very nice job on those Renders! To be honest I think I prefer these to the Forge World ones, which have no armour and look too feral to fit with the rest of the Dawi-Zharr.

 

These turned out really great. An inspired idea with brilliant execution. Truly some of your best work. I thought they deserved a podium finish!

 

They look awesome! Great work!
