Pfreck's Black Dwarf warband

Hey guys!

I've been working on my Black Dwarf warband a week or so, and this is what I've done so far. My goal is to finish them before the Boring Mordheim Meeting in Bremen.

These are the mini's I've been working on. Two regular Chaos Dwarf henchmen and a Gaoler. Note that the Gaoler mini is the same mini from the forum banner! I usually am not a big fan of using miniatures from companies other than GW, but I really liked this mini and it fits the GW style perfectly. I also like the idea to have a female hero in my warband.



I'm also working on my Bull Centaur. I used to original Bull Centaur body and decided to start sculpting the upper body because I didn't liked the original one.



And to show you guys how dedicated I am atm, I even got the Black Dwarf PDF on my iPhone!



Hopefully I stay motivated to finish this warband in time!


Cheers

Stuff to help a bit will soon be on the way.

It looks great so far mate

Looking excellent so far. Will everyone have the goggles, or just these three?

Ah, lucky Black Dwarfs that got padded armour, because the Holy Protectorate will kick their backs!!!

Nah, seriously, that's some really clean sculpting work, I'm looking forward to watching this evolve and eventually seeing it for real

Yeah, Im digging the goggles! And pdf on the Iphone, true dedication !

ps. O yeah, what did u use to make those goggles?

pss Does anyone know if there are rules or stats on sneaky gits for the chaos dwarf army list?

It's GOOD to see you're still with us AND sculpting away. The new Vertically Challenged Evil Guys look TERRIFIC! You REALLY have a flair for GSing. Keep up the GOOD WORK!

They look really good! I love the goggles! Can't wait to fight it out with these guys!

Not that I know of. But you can easily use Sneaky Git models as Informers, in fact that was one of the intentions behind them.

Great work mate really like them, the goggles are a nice little touch and really like the GS work.

Those look realy good Pfreck. Any chance you could come to Leiden to play a game some day?

haha, kick ass man! I really dig the goggles and dust-mask thingies! great job!

Kick ass! I love the gas masks and goggles! First chaos dwarf female I´ve ever seen too.

Very cool! Paint, the paint-zombie says paint, urrrrr, paint...

Well I was wondering cause in the WF army list for CD ( yeah, i know there isnt an official one) dont sneaky gits get poison daggers? Was wondering if they have a special, hired sword yet worked up for the lil buggers?

And now I have started my own lil CD band. TY for the insperation.

Yaiiii more Chaos Dwarves! I really like the mask+googles, very clean.

I like the dust mask and goggles look. Your next task is to make a Necromunda gang with masks and goggles after you finish the evil stunties.

How do you make those little rivets/bolts?!?

A lot of people do it with a mechanical pencil tip, am I on the right track?

I must say I love the green stuff work, very clean and simple, not over the top. Good job.

Just out of curiousity does anyone have any tips/ ideas on converting a BFSP thunderer into a blunderbus? Man this guys gs work is keen!

To make a blunderbuss for my outriders I took an empire handgun and cut off the end, then replaced it with the end of the blunderbuss in the militia kit. I'm not sure if the barrels would match as well with the thunderers handgun but it's worth a shot. Short of that you could just sculpt a cone, but I imagine that would be tricky.

Thanks everyone for the great comments! It really helps to keep myself motivated!

I used plasticard rod and then drilled it out with a pin vice.

Almost, I used to use a mechanical pencil tip for the bolts, but I lost it and didn't want to buy a new one.. So now I use the glue needle thingy from Revell Plastic Glue, works a charm.


So.. I've been painting two of my Chaos Dwarf henchmen this weekend, and they painted up surprisingly well (because I normally spend way too many hours on a single mini.. )
I also worked a bit on the Heroes for the rest of the warband. They still need some work, but I'm hoping to finish converting them by tomorrow.





I also made some progress on the Bull Centaur. No pictures yet, because it doesn't look picture worthy yet, imho..

Anyways, what do you guys think?

VERY NICE PROGRESS! The painted Lads look TERRIFIC; black & red seems to be Black Dwarf chic. Keep up the GOOD WORK!

Wow... just WOW!

Really good progress here. And the bits are on its way to you now...to make more mad stunties!!!

Awesome!
I love how they're turning out painted.
One tiny thing you could do to really turn it up a notch thoughm would be a darker line at every one of those scratches on the metal areas. It looks like you've done that on a small part of the shield with the symbol.. and it really adds a lot of depth!
