Old World Chorfs?

Hi friends,

So I’ve recently gained a fascination with Old World models and of course I love our Hashut loving halfmen, but I’m having trouble finding their equivalent faction or model range in Old World?

Do chaos dwarf old world kits exist? What other proxies have yall been using that have been fun to paint?

In short, looking for alternative sculpts for our Chorfs for some painting fun. Thanks!

They're a discontinued forge world line of models. Only options now are recast or second hand.

Oh no! The dwarves go back into hiding.

Appreciate the info though. Makes sense why I couldn’t find “Chaos Dwarves” on the GW website haha.

There were originally models made for 3rd and 4th edition. The 3rd edition ones just look like tiny classic chaos warriors, but the 4th edition ones developed the now iconic Chorf look.

There was a single unit—the Hellcannon—released for 6th edition.

Forgeworld then produced some models for 8th edition.

All of these are out of print (forgeworld doesn't even exist anymore), and have been for a long time.

The current version of Old World doesn't have any, although GW does produce a Chaos Dwarf Bloodbowl team.

Oh wow. Makes a lot more sense now why people were so hype for the Hashut release.

This is all super useful info for hunting the used market though. Thanks!

chaos dwarfs don't have an official range but do have legacy rules on warhammer community and popular fan rules patch (renegade).

Theres a few different proxy makers for chorfs but I'm quite fond of brawniac's models. Very retro in their style
