We had over 20 warhammer fantasy players throughout the day and multiple games until the wee hours of the night! I know alot of trading happened and several players platested lists. This was also an opportunity for players to meet up and learn a new thing or two.

Chaos Dwarf Potential Tournament List

I just wanted to post a Potential Tournament List and get some critiques from any knowledgeable players out there in the internet land. I currently am taking what I have painted at the moment. In the Pipeline I do have Kdaii in the works, a hellcannon, and a flame cannons. The list would probably be deployed in either corner or form up behind or around a structure. The Iron Daemon would forge forward and charge anything that came its way. It would have the option to shoot at or charge big nasties and hopefully withstand the first cannonball that hits it. 1600 Pts - Chaos Dwarfs Roster 2 Daemonsmith Sorcerer, 21 Chaos Dwarf Infernal Guard - Full command, 2 Deathshrieker Death Rockets, 1 Dreadquake Mortar - 1 Slave Ogre Crewman, 5 Hobgoblin Wolf Riders, 2x20 Hobgoblins Cutthroats with full commands, 1 Iron Daemon War Engine - Skullcracker; Steam Carriage Transport Total Roster Cost: 1598 Created with Army Builder® - Try it for free at http://www.wolflair.com

Chaos Dwarf update

Well I have gotten a alot done in the last couple weeks. Firstly I ordered some InstaMold from ebay and also a ultraforge daemon to convert into a destroyer.

I had traded for some daemons of chaos some time ago but thought that a Daemon prince or great korne bloodthirster didn't fit exactly the role I needed to fill. I will post some WiP images just for your entertainment but of course no final images! The instamold I used too mold wheels from 2 earthshaker cannons. These will be used to my irondaemon tank, and all warmachines!

Now for the WiP Pictures! Some Wheels, Daemon in the middle of being converted and a Standard bearer's standard! all these are currently being glued btw.

Sat Morning Update! More lava Bases! etc.

Well I did end up creating more lava bases. My process is pretty straight forward. I glue an entire piece of peg board on a 4''x24'' piece of bass wood from Hobby Lobby. i then used a hacksaw to cut out several sets of 20mm, 40mm, 2 50mm, 1 chariot, and another 4''x6'' base. Now they have been coated with Elmers glue prior to priming, and more putty has been used for small bubbles. This 2nd set of bases should be the end of the lava bases and get me in gear for a upcoming August 25th Tournament! Here is a pick of the paints and couple new bases as WiP...sorry no finished products yet for the public. And spackled up some spiders for a gaming Friend! And my friend Joe and Ryan have treked up to BITS(blood in the sun) Wish i could go but we have my sons birthday party today! Good luck guys and hopefully some Tabling can be done and you kick some ass with Skaven and Ogre Kingdoms! Until next time!

More Chaos Dwarf Bases!

More CD Bases in the first stage of being glued! hopefully we can cut it today! 20mm, 40mm, 50mm, chariot and 1 more 4x6. This should be more than enough because the large one alone is 4"x24" Whoot! Friday nights at gryfalias! 2500pts WoC vs. Liz. Obviously the chosen punched through the TG unit and Slann! I am pretty sure they packed after that... Warriors with double shrine can be tough... Also picked up a Deathkrell Tower More next time guys!

Thursday update: More Chaos Dwarfs!

Well Moved on with the CD army. Saw several youtube videos about the painting of Lava and good transitions and colors that compliment the red theme on the base. I settled with, from start to finish, Scorched Brown, Red Gore, Blazing Orange, Golden Yellow, Skull White. Each of these layers are painted with a little water and then between each color is going to be a 50/50 mix of the same one, coming out to be 9 layers. The compliment color, on top, I plan on using fortress grey and then adding scorched grass in patches and other types of burnt foliage. This should give a good themed effect and the burnt grass compliment the scorched brown. The following image shows my cork bases, with sand, trainyard coal, and hand cut wooden bases. I then used sculpty puddy to role out bubbles for a boiling lava effect and primed the bases black. I then bought a Avatar of War Chaos Dwarf and plan to use him for at least a champion in my main unit. I do plan on holding completed images of this army under wraps. It has been in consistent development for over 6 months with only primed images shown, I hope everyone understands....the lava bases are done and look great.

Weekend Update.

Well been working on chaos dwarfs lately. Some prototype army ideas which include a standard CD warrior unit, 1 daemon-smith, 1 mortar, and at least 1 deathshreiker and Bull centaur unit. I have talked frequently with online advisors and found that taking at least 1 magma cannon is critical. So we'll see as the army develops as to how this is developed into the main them. Right now I am going over and over how to do basing to separate myself from the crowd of common lava basing. My first 1,000 point game saw alot of shooting and some fighting. Fireball was critical to take out chaff and war machines definitely softened up targets. I think right now that bull centaurs can definitely hold up in combat for a long time. This was all discovered in the first win for the CD vs. skaven. Also looking to trade some ogre stuff off for more dwarf stuff to help me with my projects later on in 2013. I think right now that CD will last me for the rest of 2012. The future may hold for the army converted magma cannon(s) and the converted ironblaster subbed in as a Iron Daemon but thats at 1600pts and I have not played it yet.
