Chaos Dwarf Magma Cannon and Iron Daemons.

 A final and quick update on my 4th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battle/Warhammer: The Old World Chaos Dwarfs. I painted these about a month ago and I haven't had the time to upload them to the blog until now. Since these I have been painted a few old Rogue Trader things, some old Perry Twins/Wargames Foundry C26 Medievals, as well as assembling and basing some Diehard Miniatures Eru-Kin, and Citadel C32 Slann. There's a lot of Slann.

Anyway, back to the Chaos Dwarfs. I love this range now (despite disliking it in the 1990s), and I learnt the appreciate the later Forge World (RIP!) range as well, to which these belong. Again, they are painted in the heavy rusty look with Citadels Typhus Corrosion. I really enjoy the look it has given these models, and how heavy it makes them feel. 

Enjoy :)

Again, a shocking lack of health and safety at work!

Iron Daemon number 1.
Both Iron Daemons were purchased earlier this year, and were not in 100% perfect condition. This one has a damaged top of the smoke exhaust. I also had to disassemble it and reassemble it, and drill and pin it to get a better assembly, as well as re-attaching a couple of the wheels. 
The crew, hard at work.

Iron Daemon number 2.
This one was in a terrible state, not only missing the unnecessary exhaust railing, but the chain linking the wheels. All but one of the wheels had fallen off too!

Next update could be on anything. As mentioned, I have been doing all sorts of things. I am currently basing a lot of Slann at the moment.

  1. Great work on the warmachines Lee, they look very impressive now, with all your care and attention you've put in.

    1. Thank you Dave, I am very pleased with the overall result. I've found that small amounts of detailing really contrasts with the darker, grimy rusty metal look.

    1. Thank you Suber. The Typus Corrosion technical paint really gives them a dark, heavy feel.

  3. Great looking models! I've never seen them before. You did a fine job repairing them. I like that the crew models mesh with the altschule Chaos Dwarves, too. Very cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the Slann!

    1. Glad you like them. They are an 2010's range from Forge World when they produced a range of resin Chaos Dwarfs. They can still be used with the current relaunched Warhammer: The Old World. I always like that they can fit in with the the old school 1990s Chaos Dwarfs as well. My army is a mix of them, and the work quite nicely.
