Okay, finally came around to take some pics. The lighting wasn't great so I hope the pics came out allright...

Painted about ten-ish years ago and most were speedpainted as I needed to finish them all in about three days for the Dutch Grand tournament where they finished in respectable 48 place out of a 107!

So here we go with the piccies!Cheers!

Bazooka!



Warriors. (bronze)

















Warriors. (silver with shields)















Warriors. (silver, no shields)

















Boar Centaurs. (wacky quick conversions!)



Blunderbusses. (converted crossbowmen, scratchbuilt Blunders)





Earthshaker. (old mortar)



I think I've got them all. I also wanted to take an army shot but the lighting did not allow that any more unfortunatly!

I might go back on them someday but at the moment I am more interested in making a new Chaos Dwarf army to the style seen on this wonderful boards. (mask/Hellcannon crew like..)

So, whadya think?Cheers!
Amazing!  Quite a collection indeed!  Thanks for posting this!  Any idea how many points this would all be?
I played with the entire army in the GT and back then that was 2000 points.Big Grin

Nice collection, 2,00opts of old 3rd ed models, I'm quite jealous. Really good idea with the banner.
Nice collection of Marauders you have there and those crossbowmen conversions are cool. You have the last few marauders that i need to finish my collection as well.
Awesome job of old school Marauders and even older minis ya got there!
Thanks all for the kind replies.

As far as I know I am still missing about ten or so classic Chaos Dwarfs. Some are even so rare that when I show people the pics, (including the then GW factory manager!) they go; I didn't even kew that one!

@Canix: go right ahead mate! Cheers!:
nice collection.
Awesome, you've done a lovely job with subtle converting and modern painting whilst staying true to the classic miniatures
The centre dwarf in the 14th picture doesn't have a beard!
You don't know that, it might be under his armour! Tongue
WOW! how could I have missed this thread?? Thats quite a collection you got there - and you really did them justice - friend Takes Hat off

So nice to see some real classic CDs - and this should really inspire me to start painting my own.

What are those Blunderbusses you gave the crossbowmen?? - Scratch build or ..?

And I would really like to see more of those Boar Centaur conversions - the picture is a bit to dark to actually see the converion job!
Thanks Clam!

I scratch built the Blundies, I might still have the mould somewhere. If anyone is interested in some copies then lemme know.
Well the minis are the first series of models that came out for Chaos dwarfs. '85 is the year most hail from.

There are a lot of different styles of models and it was hard to get a unified look. Achieved it mostly through the colourscheme.

I honestly don't know if it that's achievable, converting the Bfsp models into this look...

@Borka: thanks! Cheers!:

At the moment I'm leaning towards two options:

1# Sell them and concentrate on my new army.

2# As they were painted a long time ago and to be frank in some hurry plus the fact I can do way better now I might strip them and start all over.

Both options might sound like lunacy to some, I know! Tongue
Wait a minute, why havn't I posted in this thread Unsure was I away when this came along?

Anyway...

Old school! Old school! Old school! Happy

I like the standard bearer, that a really nice conversion! The shield designs look awesome in their simplicity (I'll make a note of those Wink)
You have a really good collection, nice to Drum and Drone Ulsen in there too.
