I remember hearing a while ago about a normal Dwarf miniature that was released with a Chaos Star on it.
Does anyone by any chance have a picture of this miniature or a link to where it is on Stuff of Legends? (i've checked but can't find it)

cheers,

Raymond

Do you mean the one with the hat?  That has the star on top of the hat?  I own that model, heh.

Actually I'm not sure what one I mean
I just remember hearing a while back that there was a Dwarf released amongst the normal Dwarf line of figures that had a Chaos symbol on it somewhere.

Was it a dwarf or chaos dwarf?

From what I remember of it it was released as a normal Dwarf but actually has a Chaos Symbol on it.  Which means that it may have been a Chaos Dwarf which was mistakenly released as a normal Dwarf or it may just actually be a normal Dwarf which for some bizarre reason has a Chaos Symbol on it.

Xander, do you by any chance have a picture of it?

There is the Runepriest from the older Anvil of Doom who has a Chaos Star on the front and back of his hammer

Thanks Mike.  That could be the one....

Xander, is that the figure you mentioned above or are you talking about something different?

Mine wields a flail of sorts, and has a Star on the top of his head. I will try to get a pic.

Thanks, Xander, you're a legend

I've been having a hunt through SoL and the only ones I could find that even vaguely matched your description were these guys:

I love the bottom pic. I may have to try and aquire one of those for my vintage longbeards

This guy has a Chaos Star on top of his hat.

It's worth noting that a chaos star signified magic back then, rather than just chaos.  Many wizards had one on their staff.

The star most likely just represented the eight winds of magic. And the secobd mini looks like he's armed with a sock.

Thanks Xander.
I realise it most likely just symbolises the winds of magic rather than an innate desire to enslave the world, but it does mean that he could make a passable Chaos Dwarf (which is good, since I'm running out of non-big hat figures to bulk out my units with).

but.. why would a dwarf have a symbol of magic? dwarfs dont use/like magic....

Maybe it is a special rune that absorbs magic.

Maybe he's just a young Dwarf rebelling against the Dwarven hostility to magic

Seriously though, it's an interesting question.  It doen't seem as though he is actually a Chaos Dwarf - he just doesn't look Chaotic.
Most likely the figure designer just thought it looked nice, I guess.

I never knew about this mini before.
It's cool spotting things like this, just like the Mordheim zombie with the batman cape painted on in the rulebook (whoever did that is a genius).

Hi in the early days of warhammer dwarfs had there own sorcerers ,these marauder minis have some ,i am using one for a CD  sorc with bighat from mm10/3 will post pics when painted
