We can't win every game, and technically "shouldn't"... it's tough but I think in some games you just have to go for minor victory, sadly. It's unfortunate, but our toolbox is so limited.

I would say that if you love chaos dwarfs, just try your hardest to learn to make them work. A lot of times, it's tough to learn how to counter things until you lose a bunch of times. Once you know the army's tricks and their plans for the scenarios, you just have to try and set up to counter it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbox Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hey guys. So I'm thinking of doing chaos dwarf conversions from either kharadrons (and make cool steampunk chaos dwarves) or dispossessed to save on large costs and also because I love heavy conversion projects! (Will likely buy the warmachines from forgeworld though) How do chaos dwarves hold up in a mixed chaos force e.g. alongside slaves to darkness? I'm thinking the fireglaives would be really useful to add in shooting as would the big cannons. How do things like bull centaurs, the fire monster things (forgot the name) and the axe and shield troops hold up in a mixed group though? There's always a chance I may expand into a full force if I like them enough but it would be cool to see if they work alongside my main slaves & tzeentch bits.

NemoVonUtopia Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Bull centaurs are bullgors with an extra wound and better save (4+). Ironsworn (axe infantry) are fairly equivelent to chaos warriors. The only have one wound and attack but they are almost half as expensive and they have rend. Their shields can inflict mortal wounds instead of saving them. Daemonsmiths have a spell that gives -2 to ranged attacks and runs. I haven't had a chance to use the fireborn yet but they seem to be good against chaff. I think they would fit in pretty well other than preventing using allegiance abilies other that grand alliance chaos because they are not listed as allies for anyone as far as I know.

Gill Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 As anyone tried the Chaos Sorceror on manticore as an ally? i think it's quite effective for it's points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klggor1 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I got an email back from Forgeworld about the Skullcracker. Hate to be the bearer of bad news: Quote "Hi there, Thanks for the email. After speaking with our studio manager the confirmation is that the Skullcracker War Engine has sadly been discontinued. Unfortunately whilst undergoing its repackaging we noticed several defects in a batch of models and investigated the issue. As it turns out the mold had corroded to a point we were unable to fix the mold which lead us to remove this item from the range at short notice. We have no intentions to return this product to sale for the foreseeable future and apologize for the inconvenience." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I doubt they would say anything If they were preparing new stuff for LoA. But you are right, it is more likely bad news.

Lightbox Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Always a shame to hear when models get discontinued D: Though I'd suspect the siege giant at least wouldn't be too hard to convert from a regular one. Though the skull cracker looks like quite a difficult conversion, might be able to kitbash it from some skaven kits though as they have the similar ramshackle themes.

As chaos dwarves would be great for allies. It's weird how they can take allies but can't be anyone elses ally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do enough lip service to get by but they probably don't have the time or inclination to really re-read and have a good think about what they've just printed.

Ecl9489 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hey guys new to the forum but been with the legion before the switch into AOS. I probably lose more than I do win but I honestly don’t care. I don’t think I could see myself playing any other army other than the legion. I think one of the reasons I went with them was the fact you don’t hear much about them as far as the mainstream armies go, as far as being competitive I’ve always loved a challenge anyways. I hope that in the future we keep getting updates to our units and hopefully a couple new models every once in awhile. As long as we don’t get squatted. I dont think we will see a battletome but I can hope for some sort of a mini Armybook giving a page or 2 of fluff. I’d rather see some effort instead of no effort I mean something is better than nothing when we got shar’Tor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeddyMadeMeDoIt Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hey guys, a quick one on the above news although it is sad I've been into GW since the 90's and the first box I ever picked up was a set of plastic big hat Chaos Dwarfs. Since then we got discontinued and we were gone for nearly 15 years, the fact that we were gone though meant this fantastic birth of creativity dedicated hobbyists on forums like Hand of Hashut and Chaos Dwarfs Online, being a player of Chaos Dwarfs does mean playing outside the box and his current range has always been make the most of it while they are there as we may not have enough of a fantasy to warrant these amazing minis they are doing for long, we are a cult and we live on the outskirts of Warhammer and I think we always will... and I think that's OK, or maybe it's just what I'm used to Anyway the reason I came was to ask a question, the Taur'ruk command ability is for any friendly Ba'hal unit to charge even if they ran in the last turn with 18". Does that include himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeddyMadeMeDoIt Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Thanks again Got a couple of lists I've been interested in for fun (apologies for the long post but couldn't see the option for hidden content) all bases around the same core with a couple of differences... -Dreadquake Load out- Leaders Draz Taur'ruk (G) Demonsmith Demonsmith Units 10 fireglaves 10 fireglaves 10 fireglaves 3 Bull Centaurs Warmachines Iron Demon Iron Demon Dreadquake Mortar Deathshriker Rocket Battalion Hashut Artillery Train 2000pts -Skullcraker Load out- Leaders Draz Taur'ruk (G) Demonsmith Demonsmith Units 10 fireglaves 10 fireglaves 10 fireglaves 3 Bull Centaurs 3 Bull Centaurs Warmachines Iron Demon Magma Cannon Magma Cannon 2000pts -Magma Cannon load out- Leaders Draz Taur'ruk (G) Demonsmith Demonsmith Units 10 fireglaves 10 fireglaves 10 fireglaves 3 Bull Centaurs Warmachines Iron Demon Iron Demon Magma Cannon Magma Cannon Battalion Hashut Artillery Train 2000pts Idea being I'll mix them up as I need to for different armies or just if a fancy a change, my favourite is probably the Skullcraker list but unfortunately it'll be the last one I get to as it as 6 of those Bull Centaurs and the only models I'm happy with are the FW ones. I have nearly everything else in the list apart from those however I've now told the Mrs that I will only buy stuff from the money I make selling stuff so I'll have to wait a bit for those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magma Cannon, Dreadquake Mortar, and bull centaurs I got around Christmas all seemed to be pretty new molds, nice and crisp casts. So there's still hope! As others have speculated, with Shar'tor being released as a named character the LoA might morph into more of a bull centaur army, who knows?

grungolah Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have gone as far as not having a base will allow. 120mm oval will not fit every chain and skull pile, so it looks like I should try the 170mm oval.
