However I thought that they didn't give the miniatures the space they deserved. You're right, the movement trays do help.

I did try out the rust look on them last year, and posted a few: <br />http://goblinlee.blogspot.com/2019/04/spikes-harvey-wotan-and-friends.html<br /><br />You are right that the Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos are a throwback to those older Chaos Dwarfs. <br /><br />With the big hatted Chaos Dwarfs I wanted to do as you suggest, to tone down the cartoony look of the 4th Edition, and give them a darker, more industrial wasteland feel. However, I still wanted be true to miniatures themselves and not try to turn them into something else. I tried several paint schemes, but the rust one seems to work, and is unusual.<br />Glad you like them.

However, I always loved the lore of the 4th Edition big hat Chaos Dwarfs Army Book. Your big hats have combined the best elements from these groups. I think the rust scheme is so good at removing that sort-of cartoony look in the 4th Edition book. They look mean, resilient, and great!

The industrial look fits nicely with the industrial background and their callous, evil nature.

I love the old 1980's Chaos Dwarfs as well, but it's nice to have both styles of armies from the two very different era's, although my paint schemes for both are quite similar.
