Though a great fan of Warhammer 40,000, I’ve always found myself WHFB-adjacent - nobody near me wanted to play it and the closest I got was reading WD and drooling over the Army Books and Golden Daemon entries. During Covid I’ve come to enjoy solo gaming and so I decided it was finally time to build that 3rd/4th Edition Fantasy army of my dreams, and who else but the most red army of the red period? The majority of my sculpts are early middlehammer-style figures by Fabelzel, who has done excellent work in mimicking the original designs of... the Chaos Dwarfs! I oath to paint 1 unit per month for the three months of Sept, Aug, November from the following backlog: 12 (Chaos) Dwarf Thunderers (with Blunderbusses) 15 Chaos Dwarf Warriors with Halberds + Full Command 15 Chaos (Hob) Goblins + Full Command 10 (Hob) Goblin Wolfboys 5 Chaos (Bull) Centaurs That means: all basecoats and basing at minimum, ideally including lots of highlighting/etc and a movement tray. As a bonus, I would like to paint: 1 Chaos (Dwarf) Champion/Lord 1 Chaos (Dwarf) Sorcerer 1 (Deathstrike Rocket) Bazuka In completion, this will give me 1250pts of 4th Ed. Chaos Dwarfs, and 750pts for 3rd Edition. The 3rd Edition army list is a patching together of Chaos Allies, Dwarfs, and Orcs & Goblins rather than a discrete list, but I think it is quite appropriate for oldhammer, especially since I'm not entirely sure I'll ever get around to playing it!

Beffer posted:That is a hard core oath. Respect Is it too ambitious? It's been a while since I painted 28mm figures but I thought that one unit per month of ~15 figures (i..e. three units out of that big list) would be a fairly reasonable goal?!

 Here are the two units of chaos dwarf infantry I am hoping to paint. You can see two different styles of sculpts in the blunderbuss unit, one is a freebie I found online, and the other is a sculptor that I subscribed to on Patreon: he many proxy models and so I’m thinking of replacing all the gunners with his style. Probably makes sense to do the Warriors first.!

X-post from the Minis Painting thread:Southern Heel posted:I did a test model for my oath - I tried to keep the layers and palette size small and I think it's mostly worked: The remainder of the Oath (minus the Bull Centaurs!):

Really excellent job there Beffer! Hobgoblin Wolf Rider / Goblin Wulfboyz Wolves are basically done but for highlighting the saddles:  I went with contrast paints on these because they'll just end up being drybrushed anyway!
