“Despair! When your battalions march past where the grass dies on the endless plains, you shall know us. Here, the wasteland is the only home we know. It is ours and we embrace it. we own it! Other life withers on this doorstep to the East. Your skulls and bones shall be left to be picked clean by the carrion crows. Here, you have reached Krasnold Twilaak.”
A breathtaking unnatural sorcerous peal of thunder erupted over the battlefield.
“Let that name ring in your ears and your minds. Krasnold Twilaak! Let it reverberate. Let that despair sink into your very soul… You shall perish, or be enslaved, or flee hopeless in disgrace. Those are your only options. By the tips of our spears and by the fire of our guns, all shall be conquered.”
From a speech given by Avarddok Bleakthunder, High Daemonsmith of Krasnold Twilaak. Before battle with the elves. Over 1,100 elves were killed and over 2,000 were captured. None escaped. Not one. The fate of the captured was far worse than the fate of those slain on the battlefield. Those that were killed were not left to the scavenger animals, rather, they were carted by the dozens on iron steam trains and thrown into the forge fires, for fuel. Their bodies provided fuel and their armor and weapons were melted, reclaimed, and used for ballistic shell casings in future war. Those that were captured were enslaved and lost completely to any recorded history.

These are Chaos Dwarf miniatures. Before I go even a step further... Is it Chaos Dwarfs or Chaos Dwarves?  |

A D.I.Y. Project. Find Reaper miniature 77397. That's my starting point. Then, I add Dark Elf Spear arms.  These will be my Infernal Guard. Why?? Cause the Curly Beards (shown above) don't rank up properly, side to side. The Axe Men need to go purely horizonal on a 20mm x 20mm base, they can't go 45degree. The Curly Beards (shown above) are great miniatures. I love them. DID YOU KNOW: Chaos Dwarfs (1994 Book) is what got me into Warhammer? Yes. I got a few hand-me-down plastic Dark Elfs and Skaven, and painted them with Testors paint. But after that... my first real foray into the hobby was mowing lawns to save up the $25 for the Chaos Dwarfs 1994 Book, which I purchased from the Gaming store in Carousel Mall circa October 1995. 25 years later... will the circle be unbroken? |

It's Dwarfs, not Dwarves - Dwarves are from Middle-Earth.
Liking the look of those Dawi Zharr so far, keep up the good work!

I always say dwarves but I grew up with Tolkien and it seems wrong to use dwarfs as the plural. It’s like calling dwarves duradin. Not that I’m calling anyone who uses ‘fs’ instead of ‘ves’ the equivalent of an AOS player...😉

Infantry. Infernal Guard. Armed with Spears/Halberds.  Very dark, gritty, almost oily. Most likely will play as "with great weapons" - This is 30. I have 60 total. |

Bull Centaurs. On 25mm wide x 50/75mm deep.  You can't see it, but, the bases are staggered to get the dudes to rank up. Might End up redoing these guys on the true 50mm x 75mm bases soon. *I was too impressed with my own cleverness for this "Rank Up A Unit" solution. |
