Given the nature of the Chaos Dwarves, I think the god should be renamed to reflect the fact that they are no longer in production. Shopshut seems appropriate.

[@Gumlass1]

Superb, as usual

[@tommys_hobbies]

Chorfs are my all-time favourite WHFB army. This was a joy to watch. Praise Hashut!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Praise Hashut! Thanks dude!

[@TheVacationist]

Bless you both 🤧

[@The_Watchful_Scribe]

Honestly I want these to come to Old World or I could just get Green Stuff and a kit of votann and bring about Chaos Space Dwarves. PRAISE HASHUT

[@konstantineKein]

nice!

[@Filippo5]

I love the old chaos dwarves sculpts, and awesome paint job as always! Can't wait to see some skaven in the future ;)

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks man! 🍻🙌 I do have a bunch of rat boys sitting here so who knows?! 😎

[@GraveMistakeGames]

awesome work!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻

[@kvltovlvx1534]

My first army ever. Used to have the Sorcerer on a Lammasu too. That was so awesome! Got zero games with these guys tho as I traded them to some regular chaos dudes at school yard.😂 Wish had these still…

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Ouch! Someone got a great deal 😂 Whoever has that Lammasu today is laughing!

[@TheHairydanny22]

very nicely painted

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@razernc]

Love the vid, putting together some Chorfs myself, I needed some painting inspiration, thanks. In regards to the actual video think you need to grab a pop filter, was a bit poppy. Anyway +1 sub.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! No worries at all! 🍻🙌Yeah sorry about the sound, I’m still trying to figure this whole video thing out. Bear with me! I’ll make sure the next one is better 👍

[@ryanofottawa]

Love the paint job. Very clean, very fun.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@robins5314]

Good stuff, thanks for the video.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

No worries! Thanks mate!

[@eiszapfenkobold]

My husband showed me a trick for mold lines(probably everyone else knows this already *g). He bought nail files, the fine ones and i think you can file and polish them down nicely and don t have the possibilitie of hacking into the miniature by accident.

[@BigJohnMasters]

Absolutely stunning work, mate. Really impressive job considering you‘re relatively new to miniatures painting. Two thumbs up for the great vibe, lovely music and general stylezzz! Keep on keeping on, robust cheers from the other end of the world!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! I appreciate it. Glad you are liking the content so far! 🤝🍻🙌

[@ryanmoore8003]

Pretty excellent video, Them Dwarfs tuned out great. Look forward to seeing more, keep up the great work.

[@marktruran4334]

Dwarfs + high blood pressure lol

[@Kaiyanwang82]

I use these guys as the heavy armigers (4/5) in Hero Quest final quest. It took a while to get them at a decent price.

[@dancoles2235]

Nice work. Having to do multiple layers of the same colors on the same models is frustrating. With these models being so rare, seems like someone ought to get in to molding or making customs.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! 🍻 Yeah it’s a massive slog and hard to see progress sometimes. I agree, it would be nice if everyone could get their hands on these and have some fun painting them up.

[@MonsterPainter]

enjoyed

[@TheEr910]

Looks good. We need a chaos dwarf warband for Warcry.

[@janitor4life]

How about a mob of Squig herders and Squig Hopper? That'd be fun.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I like the sound of that 🙌

[@TLP0RT]

Huzzah! Making Zharr-Naggrund proud! I have been working on an army of the FW sculpts for The Old World, and these classics are inspiringly beautiful! I recently painted Astragoth, but I might have to brave the markets for other oldies. Also; might I say that struggling and labouring away on a production line for the Chaos Dwarfs is wonderfully in-character for the little buggers? But you can't argue with the results! Superb!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Nice! Good luck with hunting down some affordable oldies mate. I haven’t been so lucky but I’m always on the look out 👀 They are superb little sculpts! thanks mate! 🍻🙌

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

Im boomer enough to remember chaos hellcannon it was a cool model

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

That thing is an icon! 🫡 what I would do to get my hands on it.

[@razernc]

Got one right next to me, gotta be one of my favourite fantasy models.

[@kadejeter8726]

What kind of brushes do you use and where do you get them from?!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

For my smaller details I use an Army Painter Precise Detail brush and I use a size 000, 00 and 0 generic cheap brushes from my local craft store. They aren’t anything special but they do the trick and I can buy them in bulk as they are cheap ☺️

[@francisemrearas-gorman3220]

When he talks about batch painting I just think ‘he’s just like me for real’

[@MarkAndersonAudio]

These look fantastic! Such grumpy wee dudes.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! 🙌🤝🍻

[@dancoles2235]

Tolkien may not have been using direct allegory, but it seems a bit too "coincidental" that the Dwarven arkenstone aligns with the ark of the covenant and many other attributes of the Dwarves align with Biblical Hebrews. If this connection was extended in any way by someone connected to GW to the Chaos Dwarves, I wonder about the possibility of these being somewhat representative of corrupted high priests, Edomites (like the Herodian dynasty), and their connection to Babylonian occultism. Their beards seem Mesopotamian on these figures and their hats might be something like corrupted high priests of the Sanhedrin (after the Edomite Herodian dynasty put all the true Israelite priests to death in his purge). The dragon of Tolkien seems to be synonymous with the dragon of Daniel/Revelation related to the state power of an empowering government connected to Rome.

[@graefx]

Life needs more chorfs. As much as I love the forgeworld chorfs like the fire glaives, theres a special perfection to the toothy big hats. Curly beards forever.

[@Patrollo93]

you are very likeable, love the videos and fantasy content!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! I’m glad you like the videos 🍻🙌

[@nolan2664]

THE COOlest faction ever!!!!!! i love them so much. In 4th Edition Chaos Dwarf sorcerers could use a spell to breathe fire! badass fire breathing dwarfs.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I agree!!! Bring them back!!

[@OldenDemon]

Great job at doing a full unit, your style really lends itself to these miniatures

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! 🍻

[@Ethnarches]

There's currently multiple lots of Chaos Dwarfs on a local Finnish auction site for dirt cheap, plastic warriors and the rest in good 'ol perfect metal, blunderbusses, rocket launcher, hobgoblins with swords, bows or mounted and sneaky gits. This isn't one of my favourite ranges so I won't go for them, although it would be an opportunity to make money off them, but it's better to let someone else get them for cheap, hopefully someone who is as passionate about this range as I'm for other ranges.

[@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

Dude, if you have a black undercoat but you are still looking for a vibrant finish on a colour put another colour in between. You could use brown or orange, or even pink and paint the red over the top. Simples

[@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

I've mentioned this on a few vid''s about eyes. Have a look at your own eyes in the mirror. The thing you should see is the fact that you can't see the whole of the iris. The top and bottom are cut out by your own eye lids. That is why so many people get the thousand yard stare. Their job makes it look like the model has just been startled because the eyelids are wide open. With the eyes you have painted just add some covering above and below the iris and see the differenc.

[@DrLangas]

Another great video, mate. I love old hammer models but the eBay price kill me 😢

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Yeah those prices really hit hard don’t they?! Thanks so much man! Glad you enjoyed it 🍻🙌🤝

[@garinevans8369]

I am huge chaos fan boy so gutted I missed out on these dudes. Just subscribed to your channel

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Fingers crossed if Old World is popular enough they decide to bring them back! 🤞 Thanks so much mate! 🍻🙌

[@adrian.k1982]

Cool video. Yeah, prices on ebay are not for normal people. Even for my High Elves are way to ridiculous. Love the tutorial. ❤

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks so much mate! 🙌🍻 Yeah I’ve managed to get some High Elf bargains from time to time but these guys take the cake.

[@Panzerbjrn]

I would love to see more of these old monopose models. Maybe some Empire Halberdiers 😀

[@thedamneddice575]

imma be stealing this for my blood bowl team

[@chrismuirhead3219]

Great job. You made that tmm look quite straightforward nice one

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻🙌 I hope it helps!

[@elmo1234]

Wow! You did such a great job with the face, I was hooked from that point onwards. Have you ever made contact with Stos from the Rogue Element Gaming channel? He's from your isolated island and has a great channel for classic games of WHF.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks dude! I appreciate it! I’ve got a few lovely comments from him and his channel is great. I think he’s in Brisbane which is a 20 hour drive from where I am 😂 I’ll definitely have to shoot him a message because I’d love to have a game one day.

[@the_lichemaster]

These bring back memories. Chaos Dwarfs were my friends army and my regular opponent against my undead. Death Rocket, Earthshaker cannon, Astrogoth, sneaky gits and of course the bull centaurs. Came across an unpainted astrogoth a few years back(slightly battered) inspired by this to possibly paint him.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Nice! Definitely paint him up dude 🤌🙌

[@lonestarminis]

These were great ad your video editing is "chef's kiss" . If I had a request would be for some puffy pants Empire from back in the day or some classic metal Chaos Demons.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! I appreciate it 🙌🍻 I’m thinking about getting a few Empire models very soon 👍

[@xyonblade]

honestly, they never even gave chaos dwarfs a chance to be popular. And then after they dropped chaos dwarfs they decided out of nowhere to make ogre kingdom army? Like.. if they were willing to go out and make a brand new army out of nothing, they should have given chaos dwarfs a chance, 6th edition really could have been their big hit.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Couldn’t agree more! It’s such a shame because I often think of what the Chorfs would have looked like with a refreshed range and some more characters.

[@nickharling3902]

Sorry to ask this so late but, Im following your tutorial and can’t find a paint called lothern green. Did you mean something else?

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

All good dude! Sorry, my mistake it’s Loren Forest by citadel. You could probably use an olive green as a substitute 👍

[@jasondryhurst-smith2409]

They look awesome. They have a bit of a 90s game sprite look to them.

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🙌 Yeah I can definitely see that

[@mostly_harmless3789]

Love the video! Great chorfs, worth the effort. Thanks for sharing!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate!

[@RyanEales-z7b]

Hell yeah! I love Chorfs these vids are awesome Keep it up Dietz 🤙

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Chorfs 4 lyf! Thanks Ryan! 🤝

[@christoffermansson5583]

How many hours did it take you to paint all models ?

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

I didn’t time it but I did around 2-3 hours a day for 7 days. Was a bit of a slog!

[@bartomiejbigda3288]

Looks awesome ! Great work !

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers man! 🍻🙌

[@cantstraferight]

Just found this channel. As someone with a small army of these guys and no idea how to paint them it's great seeing other peoples process.

[@benwood3155]

really great job, they look amazing!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Cheers dude! 🍻🙌

[@musicplaylists59]

all that effort was worth it, they look great!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

Thanks mate! 🍻🙌

[@zmartin5546]

Batch painting is a real bummer but these look great! Happy painting! 🍻

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

It’s a real slog! Thanks mate! 🍻🙌

[@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

Questions. You didn't think a little Nuln Oil on the beard would bring the highlighting together with the rest of the beard? Also, when I am edging weapons I tend to go with a high value undiluted colour rather than a watered down one. So instead of a watered down silver I would have gone for Mithril Silver on the bitey edge of the blade, because you know, really sharp looking is really scary. You think a dull finish is better for metal?

[@EatPoo]

100% agree with you on batch painting. It's definitely my least favourite way to paint. These look great, well done!

[@anvilofdoomminiatures]

It’s a fair bit of effort and a real test! Thanks dude! 🙌
