Righto - as part of my Chaos project, i've been looking at picking up a
few Chaos Dwarves (The good ones, not big-hats, tyvm.), and thanks to a
few great trades (And lucky bitz box finds) i've managed to put a few
together so far.
Not limiting myself to any "Brands" in this so just getting hold of any mini i like.
Anyway, first up - I managed to work a trade with the fabulous Carsten from http://claminiatures.blogspot.fr/ for some of his Dvergar! I was only expecting to get a few specific characters and a couple of spare warriors, but what showed up was a big baggie of bodies, heads, weapons and all sorts of goodies, so well chuffed with that. After sorting through and working out what i want to use straight away, this is what i'm left with.

So fucking cute.
Anyway, i figured i'd do a quick closeup and comparison, so here -
Stands up quite well! Love how well these guys match the oldschool dwarfies.
Honestly,
for the older, quirky chaos dwarf aesthetic, these are perfect. Love
them. Could easily be part of the original range, save for some better
detail and modern casting.
Anyway, that's not all, i recently put
in one of my rare actual-money-orders for minis! I've been putting off a
Hasslefree order for a long time, so the Chaos project seemed a good
place for that - £50 and a couple of days later, and this showed up.
Fantastic. Always loved their stuff, and anything Kev touches is brilliant to me.
Incidentally,
my girlfriend pointed out how they come in little drug bag form. So
that was nice.
"Can i,er, get a gram of white metal..."
Anyway,
yeah - pretty much stocked up on everything i wanted for my chaos,
including a bunch of dwarves, some humans and a very NSFW succubus i've
had me eye on for a while! (Shame the Male incubi aren't as nice a
sculpt to me, i prefer equality in my perversion...)
Figured
i'd do another comparison pic, this time with the one Forge World
infernal guard i traded for, an original GW, a Dvergar and a nice, shiny
Hasslefree offering!
Noice. Sizes up well - some discrepancy (Holy shit, forge world.) but not too much that it can't be explained away as "That one lifts."
So yeah, got a pretty serious pile of new stuff to add to the already slightly-seriouser pile of chaos, so i should really get building. Maybe i'll even paint something...
Looking forward to seeing the progress on this project. ;)
