Kings of War Dwarf Army List - 1500 points

I've got my Kings of War Abyssal Dwarf Army - The Crypt Kings, still sitting on my shelf collecting dust and with no other Kings of War players in my area, it looks like they will never see the table-top.
No matter, I do enjoy the painting/modelling side of the hobby as well, so this project will primarily be a modelling project.
That being said, I don't like the idea of having a weak army sitting on my shelves (even if they don't ever see the table-top) so with a lot of help from the guys on the Mantic Forums (a special shout-out to Darklord and Jonathan Faulkes) I've come up with a base 1500 point Dwarf Army list, which I plan to expand to a tournament sized 1800 points when some dwarven cavalry units are available.

This list actually only comes to 1470 points,  and I plan on filling the last 30 points with undecided unit upgrades and magic items.

Alright, now that the units and models are decided, it's time to get building! I've already ordered some of the box sets and kits that I'll be using for my army, but I'll keep those a surprise until they actually arrive!

Back into Wargaming... Again.

It's been a while since I've even picked up a paintbrush or rolled a die, but a few recent personal activities have led me back to wargaming, and creating another fantasy army.

After a long absence from the hobby, spent with my PS3 and PC, I watched The Hobbit with a group of friends (a movie thoroughly enjoyed by all) and I found the faint embers of my love for fantasy glowing a little brighter.

Shortly afterwards, Christmas was upon me - and my brother was kind enough to invite me to reactivate my World of Warcraft account and join his guild and their adventures in Azeroth. This process involved a Realm and Faction change to join him - and after seeing The Hobbit only a few days past, of course I made my Horde Tauren into an Alliance Dwarf.

Finally, Defiant Gaming - my local Australian stockist, just received a shipment of a brilliant new Dwarf box set from Avatars of War: Dwarf Ironshields.

Well, that settled it. I wanted to create a fantasy Dwarf army and I wanted to make the army for Mantic Games' Kings of War! Their latest edition is proving very successful, and growing in popularity on the success of their recent Kings of War Kickstarter Project, and with free online rules, free army lists and wonderful community support, what's not to like?
Thing is, I already have an Abyssal Dwarf army... I guess have a soft spot for the stunties!

More to follow - I've got an army list (almost) finalised, so I'll post that up once I've confirmed it. Hopefully I can keep my motivation and follow through with this project... unlike some of the other fizzled projects on my blog...

Painting Challenge Round 5 - Entry

Round 5 of the local gaming club's painting challenge is Single Fantasy Model. I've had my Trollbloods Warpack sitting on the shelf for long enough - so it's time to get them table-top ready!

Here's my entry for this round, based and primed!

Next to a Space Marine for scale.

Chaos Dreadnought Finished!

Chaos Dreadnought - Undercoated

A WIP shot of my Chaos Dreadnought, which I mentioned that I'd be entering in the local club's painting competition.

Chaos Daemon Prince - Assembled

I thought I'd throw up an assembly shot of my Chaos Daemon Prince, next to one of my Chaos Space Marines for scale.
He's an awesome looking model, and the wings add some considerable bulk to his dimensions - I'm already worried about transporting him around!

Chaos Space Marines Reborn

With the new colour scheme and army lists, I decided I needed to completely recreate my Chaos Space Marines army.

Here is the first unit of Chaos Space Marines, which I'll be proxying as Plague Marines. I mentioned earlier that I didn’t want to buy more models until I got my hands on the new codex, so the squad weapons don’t match my army lists – but that’s not really a problem, seeing as the guys at the club are really easy-going about proxying.

Another squad to go, the Chaos Daemon Prince, and my *new* army will be (legally) table-top ready!

Chaos Dreadnought

The local club is holding another painting competition, and the category is Modern/Sci-Fi Vehicle/Warmachine.

I had initially entered the painting competition with my Forge Father Jotunn Hailstorm Cannon, but now that I'm painting through my Chaos Space Marines, I thought it would be better for me to enter something I plan on using on the table.
I've had this second-hand Chaos Dreadnought sitting around, waiting for some attention - so I'll be entering this model for the competition.

Here's my registration photo. The completed entry isn't due until August 23rd, which is still a while off. I plan on painting through the units for my planned army lists first, so that I have nice models to wage table-top warfare with - but then it'll be onto this bad boy.
