There's a newsletter coming soonish, but here it is:



Warhammer Forge wrote:When laying siege to an enemy, a Chaos Dwarf Daemonsmith will sometimes remove the fell cannonades of an Iron Daemon and replace them with a hissing and grinding arcane-mechanical conglomeration of iron hammers, hacking blades and brutal picks. Designed to smash down walls and tear fortifications asunder, the cruel blades of the so-called Chaos Dwarf Skullcracker are equally adept at pulverising the flesh and bones of any enemy unfortunate to be caught in its implacable path.

The Chaos Dwarf Skullcracker is a highly detailed full resin kit, designed by Tim Adcock, and is supplied with three unique crew figures designed by Thais Mariblanca Lopez.

Can be ordered here for 60 GBP.

If that guy just stood sideways he could fit between the blade and spear and just take a comfortable seat on the bumper.

You're also assuming that the spear/spikes on the front don't spin around too.

I'm not all that keen on it to be honest. The crew look great, but the machine itself... mneh.

@grarg The peasant is from the plastic giant kit and is used as a scale reference against most of the non infantry warhammer models FW make

So many odds and ends on it, can't tell where the wheel starts and the gut churning blades end. Nice model but looks very cluttered with things on it, it's like the Chaos Dwarves wanted to throw every feasible weapon on one engine that they could.

Forge World is kinda failing in regards to these dwarfs. The models look bad like poorly converted ork vehicles and models with no regards for how things look and balance out, just adding more and more. The big wheel in the middle is an unfortunate design I would have much rather seen the big wheel in the back row. The dwarfs look comedic not scary or threatening in the slightest. I have yet to see a non-silly looking and inherently scary chaos dwarf (from any company).

I like it. It's an homage to Malakai Makaisson's Goblin-Hewer and strangely looks like something you might see in an Evil Dead movie (that being a good thing). It's so busy and killy that again I like it.

One of the main things when I look at a model in order to decide if its worth for my collections or not, is the fact that if its going to be FUN to paint... This one fails there, it would be a nightmare to paint all the spikes and cluttered stuff.

The model was shown half a year ago on the FW open day first. Yeah, quite some time until the release today.
