It is based on Ekalim The Mad and using him as a standard bearer is inspired from the Nurgle Warband in WD 124. The Standard is from two bitz from the Plastic Chaos Spawn kit, a lot of Pro-create, a few shields and a Manowar mast. Put a bit a extra effort into the painting as well and especially pleased with the face and cloak.
Here he is with is fellow evil stunties:

| Nurgle Warband: Chaos Dwarfs |
By the way: As a leader for this unit I will use The Master Of Madness from the Chaos Dwarf Renegades. He is though currently covered in a very thick coat of enamel paint and will need some TLC.
And a few closeups:

Love the organic look of the pole.
ReplyDeleteBut Hans my friend, be careful, with your 360° photos, you're stepping on GW's field here !
I'm joking, it's very funny because when you click and scroll you can actually make it move like GW's 360 views.
Very good overlall look.
Thanks! I'm expecting an angry letter from GW's lawyers demanding my beheading. It's totally worth it though. /Hans
DeleteStupendous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gareth! /Hans
DeleteGreat model, and an even greater standard conversion! Also, that unit looks outstanding all together. Full of chaotic menace!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mattias /Hans
DeleteAgreed. Great idea for your standard. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jaeckel /Hans
DeleteAmazing stuff again... The unit looks just evil. Ekalim The Mad is also great. I like the rotten paint style on it, and the art on the shields. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexander! /Hans
DeleteGreat work on these. And you got to use multiple shields.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean. Yes - multiple shields. Next step must be to use 3 shield directly on one mine...might need to add a few arms as well...

Great paintjob...and model!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! /Hans
DeleteIncredibly stylish unit!
ReplyDeleteYou've heard it before, the paintjob on your shields are amazing :)
Keep up the good work!
Thanks. It starting to look quite decent. I'll need a unit leader an might paint a few more of my favorites dwarfs as well. Think I'll use the dwarf adventures samurai as a chaos dwarf. /Hans
DeleteFantastic work, the standard 'pole' is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr Saturday - happy you like it /Hans
DeleteAnd who says Chaos can't be cohesive!
ReplyDeleteI am still looking for a way to incorporate your base style...need an excuse...I might be able to change the tones and have it for wood elves making it more like fallen temples or such?
Cool that you might make a go at my style for these bases. Let me know if you want some more detailed info. Yes - any colors would of course work. For a fallen temple though I would probably go with a debris style instead. But on the other hand - anything goes.
DeleteThx/Hans
Yes that makes sense I was thinking of some spiral freehand on larger pieces.
DeleteTime for a test piece!
Oh, I understand. Looking forward to seeing it. Let me know. /Hans
