Note that I put 'chaos dwarf' rather than 'evil dwarf' in the title, as I'm basically asking for ideas here that would be for a model that would not be for sale (it would be far too big and need loads of moulds). Something I have been planning to make for years is a chaos dwarf Kollossus (a bronze/iron steam powered giant). What would be even more fun for me would be to create a model for a creature I have invented called Baragronti the Unstoppable. The key features required:
- Chaos Dwarf themed (a bull head)
- This guy is daemonically powered
- Made of metals (no wood)
- Warhammer level technology
- He can regenerate, so I may have chunks that have broken off in places.
- A hull/ belly weapon
- Multiple weapon options for arms.
I recently bought some plastic padding, and after watching the Forge World videos where they talk about sculpting the Eldar Phantom body out of foam and covering it in car body filler for sanding, it got me thinking I'd like to give it a go on something really huge (thinking around 12"). Where I am stuck though is how on earth to design this thing? Thoughts (or better yet drawings)?

I would personally go for more hard edges on the model becuase then it will look more chaosy and badass ;D I'll try have a quick scetch on paint of it.  So, as you can see its a massive iron bull titan with brass trim. its heads like a giant furnace becuase thats where the daemon lives mabye? could think of much for his arms so didnt draw any. Big brass horns. Big belly gun. Ermm thats bout it really.  Drake-

Do it as a huge mechanical dragon. Or a merge of the hellcannon and a fleshhound
With dwarfs driving it.
Or a... ancient greek bull that runs around a labyrinth. I think it had a wagon back and a bull front. Forgot name.
Burning eyes, burning feet, a turret on the wagon with chaos dwarfs, perhaps a hellcannon?
Just throwing ideas.

I was thinking something standing on 2 legs would be easier to make into a huge model than something on 4. A couple of pictures that I found. What I'm looking to do would be somewhere between these:

That would be really cool, like a gigantic walking weapon platform!

DrakeYes, I've seen that. It it Tjub's? That is a good visual guide, I'd be aiming for something roughly half as tall again.
