My Other Chaos Dwarf K'Daai Destroyer!

Heh heh. Can you have too much of a good thing?

When my first Chaos Dwarf K'Daai Destroyer turned out so well, I figured, why not? What the hell! Let's have two!

I've played a game with the first one, and by 'eck but he was hard to kill. Just imagine the terror my opponents will face now!

(Extended evil laugh)

I went to some lengths with this guy to make him different from the original, taking his mask off (and discarding it on the floor behind him) and reposing him. The reposability is a bit limited but its sufficient to give him a different slant to him.

The horns can even be turned to point down! 

Here's a picture with a Mantic Abyssal Dwarf in shot for scale.

And I'm pleased with the addition of the tree on his base. It's from the GW walls and fences set.

Can I wait to play wirth both these guys in battle?

Man, it's going to be good!

But first! I have to paint twenty five more chaos dwarfs, two rocket launcher teams (wait until you see those) and the extremely delicate but beautiful Warhammer Forge Chaos Dwarf Skullcracker!

My Chaos Dwarf K'Daai Destroyer

Heh heh.

What the hell is this, I hear you ask.

Well.

One of my Christmas presents was the Warhammer Forge book, Tamurkhan - the Throne of Chaos, in which an official army list (of sorts) is provided at last for Chaos Dwarfs. There were some surprises in it and some really nice bits too.

And one of these led me to this.

There are rules in the book for what is called a K'daai Destroyer, basically a huge enchanted metal statue that strides to war on a base the same size as an Arachnarok Spider.

There's a little note in the margin saying that Forge World don't have any immediate plans to release a model for this so I quickly reached for eBay and ten minutes later had this beautiful model winging its way towards me.

The model I used was a Zodiac Taurus figure from McFarlane Toys. 

K'daai Destroyers are very fast (Movement 9) and very tough (Strength 7, Toughness & Wounds 6, a 4+ Ward Save). Needless to say, an Unbreakable model with this stat line was exactly what I wanted to cheaply fill out my army list and provide some nicely attractive overkill.

 I painted the model Boltgun Metal | Black Wash | Boltgun Metal | Chainmail and Dwarf Bronze | Flesh Wash | Dwarf Bronze | Shining Gold | Burnished Gold; with Tin Bitz | Dwarf Bronze for the fur. And I am loving him.

 To fit in with the theme and description I could have gone with flaming eyes of something but I'm have a real pain getting that right on my Chaos Dwarf lord on Great Taurus and I decided to forgo it. At least for now.

 I am so looking forward to use this chap but I have another twenty five Chaos Dwarfs to paint before I can (d'oh!).

And did I mention he's poseable!

Though not by much. Just his hands really.

 

This guy is a must have, I'm telling you.He's my favourite "miniature" for a long time.
