Sticklander's Blooded Horde UPDATE: Golden Hat XXI 8th OctSticklander 07-01-2013
Hello! 
Sticklander here, formerly known as "Stormchild". I started an army blog here back in 2010 (which can be found here), but due to on-coming GCSE's/general school work, I had to postpone my efforts to an unforeseen date.
That unforeseen date was April this year, essentially three years later, when I got out all my old Warhammer when I moved into a bigger room. Subsequently, I visited ebay again.
Consequently, I have a lot more Chaos Dwarfs.

The "Horde" currently consists of:
Heroes
Chaos Dwarf Lord on Taurus
Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer on Lammasu
CD Lord with axe x3
CD Lord with hammer
CD Sorcerer on Bull Centaur Chariot
Infantry
"The Bloodbeards" CD Axemen x35
CD Hammerers x18
CD Axemen x28
CD Axemen x24
"Greybeard" CD Axemen x22
ogre Mercenaries x8
Black Orcs x10
Savage Orcs x10
Cavalry
Orc Boar Boyz x5
Savage Orc Boar Boyz x5
Bull Centaurs x14 (Including CD Sorcerer Chariot)
Hobgoblin Wolf Riders x7
Artillery
CD Blunderbusses x12
Savage Orc Bowmen x10
Hobgoblin Bolt Thrower
CD Earthshakers x2
CD Death Rockets x4
Monsters
Chaos Giant
Dragon Orges x3
Classic Dragon Orges x4
This force is very much so a WIP, but I hope with my abundance of free time I shall keep you updated, and complete this army.. Hopefully within the year. But with so many new units and models being squeezed into the ranks, the task is looking more and more daunting, especially with much simpler tasks such as my Ice Goblins to turn to (a force which I shall create a separate army blog for at some point). However, i look forward to it!

Please note: The majority of this force has not yet been painted by myself, as most of the force has come from ebay (as many of you probably assumed). But I shall definitely repaint them myself. I would feel too guilty fielding an army which was not in my own colours, or claiming ownership of a force painted by someone else. Thanks!

Here's some pictures of individual models from my "Greybeards" unit.
I decided I wanted to do something unique with the metal Big Hat axemen, so inspired by the Dwarf Longbeards (Thrice cursed by their name), I thought of the Greybeards.
In these pictures I'm trying to work with beard colouring, and whether or not to have faded blood stains in their beards.

Thats quite a collection you have got there
The Prophet on a chariot looks cool, maybe you could fit him on a Monstrous Cavalry base and use him as a Tauruk?
Like the idea with the grey beards, esp. the metal models look really old to begin with!

Thank you!
Much time and money has been poured into it, but I'm going to need a lot more time to finish the force now!
I could, but I was thinking of using the Bloodbowl Bull Centaur as the Tauruk, but I'll keep that idea in mind! I did also want to get the Forge World Bull Centaurs, and I know their releasing a Tauruk miniature.. At some point.
Yeah, they go together quite well, and it gives the metal models more of a unique feel, than the regular plastic units I have!

Aaaand here is the missing Orc Boar Boy standard bearer

I used him to practise the colouring I wanted for the Orcs and Boars, but I'll probably mix it up.
The standard is freehand, and scruffy at that, but they are Orcs so crude banners are good!

I know what you mean about already painted mini's, you get a real twinge because they are just not done the way you wanted.
Anyway you've got quite a horde growing there. Great to see.

Exactly! It pushes me towards getting them done, so I can feel a lot more proud of the horde upon my table!

They'll look even better when they're all finished, and ranked hat-to-hat! But that's a long way in the future
Here's some of the faces I've been working on. From left to right: Darker skin for the older Greybeards, paler skin for the Bloodbeards, and a more rosy face for some of the other Bloodbeards!

RE: The Blooded Horde [07/20/13]Sticklander 08-07-2013
After being caught up in the various shenanigans summer brings, I found myself needing to paint some more Chaos Dwarfs, do I decided today I would concentrate of painting the beards on my Bloodbeard regiment.
Overall, I like how they look, but the miniatures that had been painted before don't look at impressive as the freshly painted ones.
Here's a picture of one of my favourite ones!

The combination of the pale skin, flushed lips, and blooded beard appeals to me.
But something tells me once I've completed each one, an intense clean up session will be needed for stray bits of paint on the bearded chaps..

Cool work "dwarfing up" the orcs. It's pretty tough making old school and new generation minis look good together.
The prophet in chariot must be powerful. If I was a bullcentaur and somebody put a chariot on me - I would eat him.

Cheers! Yeah, I agree. Once I've improved on my sculpting skills, I was thinking of giving them big hats, or just more detailed beards.
I might have to make a special rule for when a Bull Centaur gets so aggressive he just bucks off the chariot and tramples the sorcerer... But then again, who would allow that to happen top his own sorcerer?

That`s quite a horde!
Just a quick note on the green stuff helmets: I like the idea of making more armored big hats/helmets. However the green stuff ends up looking a bit squished and too rounded edges. I think this is really tricky myself, but find that if you make a basic shape, place it on the model and then wait for an hour or two before sculpting or molding it gets easier. If you have a sculpting tool you can now press the green stuff flat without distorting the shape to much.
Great to see so many posts and pictures from you, keep it up

Thanks for the input! 
I agree, though that first one was my first experiment in sculpting. I've got some proper tools and played around with green stuff more, so hopefully my next try will look a lot better!

If that was your first attempt at sculpting in GS then bravo 
I am just getting into it myself, but my first attempts is hidden in a drawer somewhere, waiting for me to start a Nurgle themed army
