I started chaos dwarfs shortly after starting Warhammer back in '95.  I thought they would make an interesting counterpoint to my other army at that time (Bretonnians) and they did.

For a long time I was probably the only chaos dwarf player in Ottawa (or at least it seemed that way), because the first reaction most people had was "What army is that?"

I've always seen that these minis were given a horrid colour scheme in the army book, and went for what I thought was a much darker and nasty looking scheme.  Right now, I'm re-evaluating their scheme and will be repainting and rebasing this army to bring it up to my current level of painting and so that I can bring them out more often and not cringe....

Anyway I'll start this off with my characters:

Sargon, depending on the game a hero or lord


Kurgan Grudgebearer (definitely due for a colour makeover...)


Megeddio Fireforge, the Army Standard Bearer


Ashkelon Runforger, my first sorcerer


Ozymandias Ironbeard, a converted Astrogoth


and Hyksos Forgebreaker, the Bull Centaur character


I'll post some of the Rank and file later today

I'm liking um.

I especially like Hyksos Forgebreaker

Nice name for him too! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyksos

Ozymandias Ironbeard like him too, though not sure about the green on him.

Is Ironbeard really on wheels?

Tracks actually.  I used Epic scale Leman russ tracks.  Back in 5th ed. he was armed with 2 pistols...

I got the inspiration for this conversion from the Warhammer Monthly comic book. One of the early issues showed a dawi zharr sorcerer with steam driven wheeled chassis, and I thought - why not tracks?

And now a member of my premier regiment - Akkad the Grim's Raiders



and Akkad himself



The other unit of warriors, Megiddo's Kinband




My blunderbuss armed warriors - Sargon's Regiment



The Children of Hashut (the Bull centaurs)




and their Champion


some of my sneaky gitz


a Bolt Thrower


One of my Death Rockets


and 1 of my Earthshakers


and the No. 1


I need to clean up chips and dings on these and also redo the bases, but you can get an idea of what I've got here.

There all really great the dark colour scheme is looking mighty fine even the green

Excellent colour-scheme! Those Centaurs are some of the best I've seen
Like the sorcerer on tracks too, could we get a side view?
Border Reiver

Nice, I really like the dark colour scheme, especially on the bullcentaur hero - he looks fantastic!

I'll try to get a side pic of Ozymandias tomorrow (if it's sunny).  I'll also see if I can scan the picture that inspired it all.

Thanks for the compliments.

Wow!
I LOVE the green on the Bull centuars, it looks amazing!

Im not much of a fan off the old models, but your painting certainly does them justice.
