Sybou's chaos dwarf_Rank and files_february_Owac IX

 Hello,

even if February is the smallest month, even if you plan to paint few miniatures we're all still in a rush to finish what we planned.

For February, I planned to paint some shooters:

Your classic crossbow guys for shooting support

These guys are from the citadel range, one of them is from the first chaos dwarf, one of the first shooter for chaos dwarf.

An other angle

When you build them, you got to be careful for the crossbow, they can be big and can give you difficulties to rank them properly.

The swivel gun

So when i build it, I wasn't really knowing what was a swivel gun and treat it more like a rocket thrower. So I added various rocket on the base.

 

An other angle

The crew

For the crew, as there are not much chaos dwarves crewmen, I added various goblinoids. It makes just some slaves that will help for the loading of the warmachines.

That's it for the month of February, I was willing to add the bazooka but I wasn't fast enough. It will be painted for March.

Here is the photo of February:

Thank you for reading me.

Cheers!                                                                                                                    Sybou

AdamH’s OWAC VI July wrap up post

Another year, another OWAC under the belt!

For a few reasons this year was a tough one for me, mostly travel and restricted time related but also motivation and indecision as well. However overall I am happy with what I got completed, there were a few things I would probably change if I painted a couple of the teams again but I think I will leave them as they are for now in the interest of working on something new.

I also started working on a 3D printed pitch, which I was hoping would be my wildcard month entry but I never found the time to do more than the test section. However, I have brought it out now for the final pictures of each team! I also finished the bases of each team which I think sets them all off nicely.

First up are my favourite team, no prizes for guessing that it is Skaven!

Since posting these guys last month I have gone back and painted some more yellow on them in the form of everyone now has a yellow left shoulder pad, and the Skaven emblem on their chests are also now yellow. I think it helps break up the brown and makes the team look a little more unified:

My next favourite team is the Chaos team, I also went back and touched up a couple of mistakes on these guys but nothing significant:

Next up is another Chaos team, of the stunty variety:

More shrimps and one big leafy boi, I think this is the team that I enjoyed painting the most, and one that I think turned out well however I don’t really like the models:

Finally elves, this is a team that exists and now I own. I guess they are OK:

I am still working on my pitch so hopefully that should be finished in a month or so but after that I will be taking a break from Bloodbowl for a while and thinking ahead to next years challenge. I am very tempted to finish my Skaven army with a third entry, but I have a few other contenders that might sneak in at the last minute.

Anyway I hope everyone enjoyed the challenge this year, there were some wonderful armies and it was great seeing the specialist games making an appearance, I vote for this to make a come back in a future challenge please oh great overlord!

This is AdamH signing off for this year!

ChrisH' Chaos Dwarfs - Complete Army - 3002 points

Another army challenge completed, 127 miniatures painted and 3002 points based on 3rd edition.

 

The overall army looks great and I'm very pleased with them.  I had several older units painted in about 1980s and always wanted to add more.  

Here is the completed army

Here is the whole army together, old and new!  Additions are another 20 warriors, more artillery and two war engines.  I still have a juggernaut on the painting table and a pre-slotta hobgoblin contingent, no projects are ever finished, just abandoned.....

You know what they say about small boys”
