This is all incredibly cool. You got very bright, vivid colors going on here and yet you still make everything look excellent and realistic. I am very jealous of people who can do this. My armies always end up looking like trash no matter how long or hard I work on them.
Excellent army, well kept theme, good use of gnoblars as basic slaves and night goblins as higher slaves (well, ya know what I mean). The first ogre is one of my favourite models in your army. Out of curiosity, where are the horns for it from?
A very nice army, the Great Taurus being my favourite. The Lord on it looks a little too big but it's miles better than my try. All I did was get the WE Great Stag and put some wings on it!
Cool. Well, it's good to see that you learn from your previous work. If that's the case, I won't be able to bear seeing any new models! He he he.
What did the Taurus' wings come from?
I thought GW didn't allow for bits crossovers like that? Can you use that at Tournies and in the GW store?
no, but who cares? this is pretty dumb that they forbid this kind of combination so i reject it. combine everything that looks good, these are your minis, you pay for them, you can do, what you want!
Raise your hands for the spirit of converting!!!
I used to work for GW, and you have no idea how many headaches those rediculous restrictions caused. The last time I went to visit my local store, they were not even allowed to use the words "Lord of the Rings" or even "LOTR" in promotional flyers! However, I was told recently that the rules restricting cross-range conversions had been done away with completely.....
re: The army!
I'm not usually a fan of the dwarf body/chaos warrior head look, but I think Bjorni's are quite successful! The great taurus in particular is fantastic, and the ogre fillers make me all tingly inside!
The rules have indeed been done away with completely!
New Line doesn't care so much any more now the films and DVDs have been out a few years, so they've allowed GW to use different bitz for conversions. This is why there is now an LOTR components service on the online store. Keen eyed folk will notice that LOTR models have increased in scale to about the same size as WFB minis...
PS, Bjorni that army rocks!! I've taken some of these ideas and they're going straight into my army
Whoa, nice conversions, very neat painting and some very original ideas. Love the earthshaker and the bolt thrower, especially.
How do you do those rocky bases, they look awesome!

I've always wanted to see a decent Dragon Ogre conversion, and you've done it. Thanks for posting these Bjorni!
Sweet conversions man! Great stuff. ... I am such a sucker for conversions. Heh.
that's awsome! You seem to like Dragon Ogres very much! Do you have any pic of other chaos characters?
Thanks

That is a seriously hardcore chariot!
Ya, the chariot is awesome. Great use of Hellcannon bits.
Well done, those look pretty sweet, the only thing I would have done different would have been to give it claw hands, not hooves. But everything else works. Stellar conversions, good paintjobs. Nice.
Those dragon ogres look very expensive, but I must admit they're very cool.
Great paint job too.
Funny, I seem to be 2 persons now....
Good to see this place is still going, I stopped checking regularly because of the tech problems.
Personally I'm done with the CD army for now, with the stagnant list any though or discussion is just a rehash of 5-6 years ago.
I'm still looking at the evil stuntie army project and it has just moved up on my list.
Like Willmark said, people come and go, I took a hobby break of about half a year after I left GW, and have only been painting/playing again since Feb. Big motivation was that a couple of friends got me to join them to Full Tilt, the event I took 5th in last year with the CD. This year I finished some new Lizzie stuff and won it! Then we did the big Dutch team event and won that as well!
So now I've done some more Tzeentch Daemons and just got back from the Dutch GT, awesome weekend and another 1st place.
Done with competetive WFB for the forseeable future and I was thinking of picking up my converted Dwarf army again. So I came looking for conversion idea's. I'll drop in from time to time, so any Q's just shoot.
@Merchant: there's no "stealing" of idea's it's called inspiration. The horns on the horses are from the Chaos Warrior Champion helmet.
Yep, I have a bag sitting right here. I think Corneel gave me your number which I promptly lost 2 days after when I cleaned up the memory in my phone.
Are you going to be anywhere near GW Rotterdam soon, I cold drop it there for you?
Otherwise just PM me.
Merchant, happy to be of service.
