Chaos Dwarfs Army Project

As with most of my minis I always want to make them a little different (if not very different) than the ‘box art’ so I’ve added some subtle and not subtle changes to this Chaos Dwarf Lord in foot

Once I was happy with that it was onto the painting which I am currently about half way through.

I’d previously used decals for the shield designs and other runes but the spaces here were too small so I had to freehand these ones ?

The addition of red to the armour denotes rank so as far as infantry goes this is the top guy, although clearly touched by chaos I did still want them to show some form of dwarven conformity so I like the idea that these markings still mean something to these guys and they still honour the Dwarf in them as much as the Chaos in them

Still a lot to do, some additional details to the face and then the metallics so any ideas are more than welcome

Many thanks

Work has taken me away from this but I should be getting back to some tonight, meanwhile I’ve been playing about with some pics and finished a bit more of the Great Taurus wing

????

Thank you for all the support so far guys, I managed to complete the next 5 too

As those that have known me a while will attest to I don’t think I’ve ever painted so much so quickly, I know 10 in 2 weeks may not seem like much but it is a lot for me ? hopefully it’s a good sign, certainly a sign of how much I’m enjoying this scheme on these minis ??

Added some additional red to highlight the champion of the unit and some more variation

The next part of the project kind of took me by surprise, I was setting up the trampoline for the boys outside when I thought I’d make the most of a sunny day and look to make a start on the display board as it needed a bit of tlc to bring the details back.

Now that I have those details back I can start to paint the board.

Given its Chaos Dwarfs it will of course represent the Dark Lands. Mainly black I want to try and highlight all those skulls like red/orange glowing lava rising up from underground

That’s the plan right now, let’s see what that evolves into

After the test mini was done I wanted to push on asap and complete some more in the same scheme to make sure it repeats and I’m quite happy with how these have turned out.

I think I could have my time a bit more but again all the rushed parts that I’m used to correcting just tend to add the effect ????

Next up either a Magma Cannon or Bull Centaur

?

So these have been in the back of mind for quite a while now so I already had a scheme in mind I’ve been wanting to try out.

With a fair bit to paint I wanted to get a scheme that is as quick and easy as I could, I’ve also been wanting to try out the grim dark/blanchistsu/AoS28 aesthetic so thought this was the chance

All in all I really enjoyed painting this guy, managed to get through it pretty quick and turned out how I expected which is a rare thing indeed ?
