WIP Vintage Chaos Dwarf Team

Post by Vomitflesh »

Hi all!

As a big fan of the Chaos Dwarfs it was only a matter of time for me coaching a CD-Team. Three years ago I bought the 3rd Edition one + 2 Bull Centaurs. However, in the last years I got an even bigger fan of BB and a collector, too :wink: Soon I got my fingers on 2nd Edition CD's, which I prefer to the 3rd Edition ones. Since there were two big problems creating a full LRB 5.0 / 6.0 Roster (matching Hobgoblins and Centaurs), the project was put on the back burner. After some investigation, I found the C36 Hobgoblin Line from 1985-87 and the Centaurs (Tenderizer) from this era. I knew from the start, that these were the right minis for me, but I also knew, a lot of conversions were to do.
It took me quite a while to track them down at ebay, but finally I got all the minis i wanted - even the Rashnak Backstabber :D
Converting very old minis is very complicated. Many limbs easily broke away while snipping off shields and weapon and I had to fix it again and again, but I think, it was worth the effort.

Enough talking for now - let's have some pictures!

Like the Bull Centaur with the chain mail in front of his face.

Hi all!

The first CD is already painted and ready to enter the pitch. I'm curious on the reactions regarding the colour scheme :wink:

@ apothecary: I still have got two surplus Hobgoblins (the running one, badly painted with two swords, and the left one with a whip in the last two pictures). If you are interested in a deal, don't hesitate to send an PM.

Hi all!

Aside of basing and some upcoming minor changes, the first three members are ready to enter the pitch. I hope you like the colour scheme :wink:

Finally after 10 years I finished this project!

I've lost the interest in paintig around 2012 and these marvelous minis ended deep down in the bottom drawer... Last years November was the moment I remembered my 2nd Edition Chaos Dwarf Team and I wanted them to be finished!
Unfortunately the old wip pictures are gone. I hope I will find them again so can add them in this thread.


I hope you like the guys! (...and the girl :wink: )

Minis look great!

And thanks for making me feel less bad about how long it takes me to paint a team! :D

Haha, nice one!
I'm not very fast at painting. This team was very special though. It isn't recommendable to wait such a long time to finish a project because the paint gets grainy. Any replacement color doesn't match exactly. However, I'm very happy I finally did it. The next project is the Space Hulk Squad but I'm not in a hurry :wink:


Here are some old WIP pictures which got lost over the years.
