Alright, this is the start of a project I've been thinking about and planning for for longer since ages ago ! First of all, it's been years (over a decade) since I last worked on a warhammer army and now the itch has become too irresistible not to scratch !
Now I got a parcel from Oldschool Miniatures that pretty much sealed the deal and started (one of) the general(s) of the army instantly.
The Infernal guard commander comes in two levels, Castellan or Seneschal depending on how big the game, how strong you want to make him.
The model itself is a beauty from John Pickford from the Ewal Dvergar range.
I chose to make the blade look like evil crystal to stay on the firey theme and be able to count it as any kind of magic weapon then kept the fire theme running across all the armour as well.

I can't say why but I decided at some point that dude needed a flamboyant fur cape so added some yellow stripes to the blue base I first intended. It makes him less grimdark but adds a fantasy element and a visually more striking impact to him so I'm quite pleased with how it turned out !
I haven't painted many chaos dwarves before (actually just 2) but I've grown really fond of painting dwarves of all kinds and this gets me to go back to warhammer, my oldest hobby love.
I chose to go the old 3rd ed style rather than the big hat one so hopefully I get to channel a bit of realm of chaos vibe into those !
I'll be basing everyone on rounds and ovals with movement trays and base extenders to suits the "official" base sizes for The Old World.
Rounds are just so much easier to rank and versatile so hopefully that makes things easier for me !
Wish you all a happy painting !
