Is there any documented reason for this? Seems a bit silly to me.

BAWTRM · « **Reply #1 on:** March 25, 2011, 07:51:11 AM »

Because it fits with the whole Babylonian/Assyrian look they've got going on?

Immovable Object · « **Reply #2 on:** March 25, 2011, 07:52:59 AM »

Thats actually a very good reason and I feel quite foolish for asking now.

Immovable Object · « **Reply #3 on:** March 25, 2011, 07:54:47 AM »

I still think the odd grey beard here and there would look better though. They have always got black hair.

BAWTRM · « **Reply #4 on:** March 25, 2011, 07:58:05 AM »

I believe they only painted that SC Asteroth (sp?) with a slightly greyish beard, to emphasise he was really old I guess.

Hmmmm, slayer CD's with orange ringlet beards......

They have whatever colour you paint them don't they?

On a serious note, its probably to make them darker and more evil than non chaos dwarves who usually have lighter, or indeed flame coloured beards!
Much like dark elves have dark hair, while the other elven armies have a much broader mix.

Also if you look at the old films of the matching historical period they were dyed that glossy jet black.

Chaos Dwarfs have black beards for 5 reasons:

1. Babylonian / Assyrian influence.

2. It contrasts well with their giant red hats!

3. Because evil villains always have black curly mustaches or beards.

4. There is no number 4.

5. It's easy to paint.

Use colour theory! Black is considered to represent death! And Chaos Dwarfs love killing people!

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2011, 11:26:32 AM »

I thought they loved enslaving people MrDwhitey?

Not killing!

But does a man not need to be free to live?

Maybe it has something to do with the fermentation process of their whiskey? The Jack Daniels brewery is not far from here. All the trees on their campus are black. The bark has turned black on all the trees. Not exactly sure how this phenomenon occurs but I've seen it in person. They say it has to do with some stage of the fermentation process. Maybe this could explain why the Chaos Dwarven beards remain black....

or not.

They may take our lives, but they can never take our FREEDOM!!!

Couldn't do with the fact they live in probably the most industrial area of the world where the smelteries and factories are constantly burning. And the fuel is probably wood or coal crating black billowing smoke that gets everywhere covering a chaos dwarf in thick black grime?

I agree, actually. But perhaps the CD are vain and consider black beards to be swanky (no, seriously).

patsy02 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2011, 07:21:02 PM »

There are plenty of examples online of CD's with red, blue, blonde, grey and brown beards.

Erkenbrand · « **Reply #18 on:** March 27, 2011, 11:00:40 PM »

They all use 'Just For Dwarfs' to dye their hair

<------- uuuhhhh...Dude...I can hear you!...

I feel obligated to say that real Chaos Dwarfs don't have those silly big hats and can certainly have different colored beards!

Great thread By the way!!! haha

Cheers,

Blue

Either that or they're just Emo Dwarfs.

The one in red with nipple studs scares me the most.

I have to say I quite like the all black bearded chaos dwarfs. Makes them more evil/continental.

Immovable Object · « **Reply #24 on:** April 17, 2011, 09:08:45 PM »

To me they look much more chaotic than your regular big hat, stupid beard Chaos Dwarfs. I've seen these on TWF before Blue and loved them then as I do now.
