Not really sure. All I know of him is he's their main god so whatever.

How are Chaos dwarfs gonna be done anyway? Dwarf reskins?

Yeah Hashut is the Chaos God of Fire and Bulls are his sacred animal.  Supposedly 11 is his sacred number but I don't know much about that.  It's postulated that he was a particularly powerful Greater Daemon of Khorne (ie. Bloodthirster) and was imprisoned underground by the God after Khorne got jealous.  Ages after, when Dwarven miners were delving after they had been cut off from their kin in the south, and well, west I suppose, they accidentally released him, although they soon realised that through him, they could gain more power than ever before.  Through the way that Gods work in the Warhammer world,, Hashut therefore gained enough power to become, more or less, a God, simply through belief.  

What this doesn't explain is why Chaos Dwarves have Sorcerors, as Khorne and by extension, his Daemons are diamterically opposed to magic.  But anyway, that is supposedly his backstory.  There is actually quite a lot of backstory about him on the internet, so its pretty easy to find fan-made stuff about him.  

As far as how they're being made, they generally have Dwarf models I believe, but they definitely have their own textures.  It's part of what I'm doing.  But I'm not doing them bright red and with big hats like the old stuff.  I'm basing them more or less from the Hellcannon crew, so dark chain and scale, burgundy cloth and bronze helms.

That's good. I always thought those guys looked cool. They basically had dreadlocks for beards. :)

Well, I'm almost ready to get converting all the main symbols for their in-game purposes. Once I get back to my apartment I should be able to have everything done before too long. Then I can move on to some other jobs.

Most of the CD units are their Hobgoblin slaves anyway, the number of Dawi Zharr isn't great.

There are many theories as to Hashut; I prefer the idea that he IS a primary God (not someone else's demon), but was locked up in a bitchfight with Khorne. He's really a Lawful Evil deity, using Chaos in its corrupting power but ultimately attempting to create an orderered world where all are slaves beneath his chosen people. That's my interpretation anyway, simply because I think it fits better with evil Dwarfs.

Yeah I prefer that theory as well.  The only reason I said all that stuff up there, was because that was GW's official stance on the matter following a book that was written 20 years ago.  Or somewehre around there.  

Oh and of course the Hobgoblins are brownish-green skinned, almost khaki, and wear red, ragged robes.  That's as far as the mod goes I mean.  I did one unit.  I think.

They look ok to me, maybe a little off-center. Are you sure your alpha channel's are matching up?

Hey guys,

Sorry I don't have long but Jubal, have you thought about asking the Fourth Age team for their stuff.  Specifically the Dwarven models.  Cause they've got Hammerers and such that would fit into a Warhammer setting pretty well.  

Just a suggestion and I get the feeling that they may not particularly want to share.

I've been reluctant to nick too much FATW stuff primarily because I want this to look like WHFB not LOTR...

True enough but remember it can always be retextured... ;)

Well if you mean by new steam, not commented on for almost a month, then yes.  :P

Anyway I've dropped off texturing, however now I own both Medieval 2 and Rome, so I can claim time off on "familiarising myself" with Medieval 2.  

Hopefully I'll be finished soon. Wish me luck.

Good luck.
Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.
