Chaos dwarf bulls

Jelliko · Post by **Jelliko** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 3:17 pm

I have almost finished getting my human team collect now. I hope to paint them over the winter break and start addicting my friends to the game. I am looking to start collecting my next team and I thought Chaos dwarves would be a nice change. If I take my time I should get the CD team together by the time I finish painting the humans. The question I have is what models do most CD coaches use for their Bulls? I searched the site and did not find anything. Any ideas would be great.

there's only one model you can use. htark the unstoppable (or however you pronounce the name anyway) the bull star player is the only one to use. hope this helps

It looks like a nice converion. I could probably do the remove weapon part. My skills need alot of work.

I pronounce it more or less like "Tark" to not drool all over the pitch saying it.

There are some other figs out there. You'd have to go digging for the part numbers.

GW had an old WFB Dwarf/Bull pulling a whacky war engine. I converted a bunch of these figs to lancers for heavy cavalry. They might pop up on EBay.

Reaper has a nice fig that's currently available.

Cheers,

The "generic" mini for a bull centaur is a centaur, many ranges produce them. I'm going to ust htark and a WFB bull centaur when I do my dwarves in the new year, but you could perhaps model them on hobgoblins, or have dwarf torsos with horse bodies etc.

Personally I use the old WFB one. I got it a couple of years ago off of the website.

One of them was equiped with a hand axe that was easily removed. The double handed axe ones would be a nighmare to convert. With different Bull sections you have two different very easily obtained models.

Also they didn't use all of their base so you can cut the base back so that it fits into a square on the board.

Face down and up placement is the only problem with them. Those hats make them take up three squares!

I've just tried looking for them on the GW online store and it denies all knowledge. Although their search engine does tend to be overly slow and often crashes so you might have more luck on your own...

I can get 2 of the star player Bulls for $20.
It would be easy to alter their paint jobs to differentiate the models.

I have seen some of the CD armies with bulls come up on ebay. I may instead try for a small one of those if the prices stay down.

I saw a nice CD army on this week. The owner painted the beards almost a neon blue. I may try to replicate the beard color when I do a team. It would be fun to do a minatour the same blue as the dwarfs' beards

ATM I am in the process of getting started painting a human team and I will not start the CD squad until I am done, soooooo I have awhile to look around.
