On a different note: What would you like to see a release for dwarves to encompass (remember AoS is High Fantasy now)

I‘d like to see the following:

- heavily armoured fantasy-mole riders 

- heavily armoured pikemen

- a mounted lord/king

- keeping the Gyrocopters but making them a bit more edgy (upgrade bits?)

- Centre piece: huge artillery or a non-generic avatar of a god
- some creature from the depth of a mine which has been tamed

- keeping all remaining dwarf units

Miners popping out of the ground.

Heavy equipment pressed into service for war (Alien power armour etc).

Dwarven brewers delivering buffs to nearby units and lobbing casks with detrimental effects across the battlefield.

Dwarven combat musicians doing something similar.

Specialist strongbrew drinkers that breathe fire.

Daughters of Valaya, which are warpriestesses.

Valaya temple guard as described for Fantasy.

That should be AoS enough, right?

- Dwarven Brewers

- Cavalry of some type, heavy probably, mounted on bears or rams*

- Moar Gyro stuff

- Mounted hero on the same mount as cavalry

- Upgrade for the artillery and the steam tank to make them dwarven

- And maybe miners would be cool as a reserve type unit

*just really big bears and rams, although AoS is high fantasy they still have horses (once in a while)

Ironweld Freeguild duardin with clockwork cavalry, cannons mounted on spider-leg vehicles/mini cogforts, gyrocopters replaced with aether drills which are flying drill machines with a mix of steampunk and magic to make fly that harvest the sky islands of their resources and smog duardin wizards who perfected the city's smoke magic and even use a form of coal runes to make the choking smoke clouds of the clanking mechanical armies lethal to foes. Some gholemkin Chamon native allies would be nice.

For realm-based i'd want barbaric duardin of the realm of beasts who are bone masons that build their holds in mountains of monster bones or in the skeletons of ancient oaks since that realm is short on minerals and are big on monster tamers & bone weapons.

(Edit: Forgot to mention the bone theme plays into them being in the realm of death too where they make pilgrimages to either honor the spirits of the dead beasts that make their homes from (spirit monster allies) or even to find evil monsters again in the underworlds and slay them once more so their vile souls can reincarnate.)

Realm of heavens dawi gifted by the six demigod smiths of Azyrheim to have star-metal gleaming armor and lightining hammers they throw, meteor launchers and aetheric architects that construct small realmgates for quick battlefield movements, summons and on a bigger scale of carrying out Sigmar and Grungni's plans to better connect the infinite realms and bring order.

And of course Ghyran's Rootkings for magic druid duardin (druidin) of the forests:

I'm currently working on bringing chaos dwarfs back to the mortal realms, in particular chaos Kharadron Overlords, PRAISE HASHUT!

Oh, did you ever see this AoS facebook post on that? Some chaos duardin fans got a great start out there.

I would pray for your soul and hope that the dwarf dragon wizard is optional. May it come out of that conflict with it's beard untainted.

Also what is your dream army? Mine would just be expanding the Dispossessed army into more hammas and axes + cavalry. I mean if you want artillery you can take the ironweld and stick a dwarf crew on it, maybe I would also vote for a dual kit with the steam tank to make it dwarf-y becasue it seems SO close to being proper dwarven ingenuity, but not quite there with all the symbol stuff on the sides.

Where do you find "dwarf crew" because I've been thinking about starting Cities of Sigmar with Dwarves and those rocket launchers and that's exactly what I wanted to do. I don't want humans in my army, it's supposed to be all dwarves. With fightin and shootin.

I actually was going to attempt to repurpose some KO bits with the various ships endrinmaster pieces, and possibly put them on a longbeard to get an older engineer type.

I love this thread

All is lost ! While Brewmasters are still on their play-test phase...  a new idea took me by suprise.

Get prepared to meet the Citadel Dwarven Ancestors Club for Warhammer Underworlds !

Hey fellow Duardin lovers! I have been playing AoS since before it was cool (as in, back when we wrote our own points), have all the battletomes, experience making homebrew content, and strong enough rules knowledge that I have been a judge at several major tournaments.  I say this not to brag, but to express a certain degree of qualification before I ask this:

If I made a full set of allegiance abilities for mixed-Duardin armies (as in, everything with the Duardin keyword) would anyone be interested?

Yes, i would be very tempeted in using an allegiance that allows all duardins to be played

[WathLab]

Casting is over now.

Here's the gang :

 

 

From left to right :

• A stealthy dwarf thief (from the BC1 Adventurer Set - 1985 ?)
• Cyril Bear( from the King's Court - 1982 ?)
• The White Dwarf (from the John Sibbick Cover for White Dwarf n°90  - 1987 ?)
• Telzad (From Dwarf Adventurers - 1987 ?)
• Kimril Giantslayer (from Dwarf Lords of Legend - 1988 ?)

 

These wonderful dwarves form the Grombrindal's Citadel Dwarven Ancestors Club !

More to come soon !

I would be extremely interested in this.

I would love to see what you come up with.

Brainstormed a number of mixed-Duardin lists but with only Grand Alliance abilities, know I would never actually build one.

Is there any really relevant lore to the Dispossessed in AOS? I was inspired by the guy who made his own army lore earlier in the thread but I'm not sure where to draw from or even where Dwarves live per se. I've been looking at using Scribor Miniatures for the furred cloaks and bears and something like an Arctic, Snowy Mountain, Thunder Dwarf (Celestar Hurricanum with Dwarf Runepriests on it channeling Lightning/Thunder) theme. Snowy polar bears, white fur cloaks, nordic viking dwarf theme but I'm not sure how to write that story to fit into AOS or Cities of Sigmar, especially since I want to run the Greywater Fastness rules.

Yeah, I would recommend looking in the CoS, they are briefly mentioned to have infringed upon the KO's monopoly on Aether Gold which got them blasted, but other than that nothing in the KO Battletome. Maybe check BL or see if you can get your hands on a copy of the Fyreslayers BT

I hope there‘ll be a mixed race of Aelves and Duardin/Dwarves called the Aeuardin.

 

just kidding 🤣

I think this particular piece of lore has not come up in this thread (came to mind due to the new rumour engine):

He had heard the same tales as everyone of dead gods and wandering daemons, impish species of ocean dweller such as the valay, said to possess the lower body of a squid and the bearded upper frame of a duardin, hoarders of ithilmhair with a love of deadly word games. - Extract from The Court of the Blind King, by David Guymer.

What if...?

So we have Ur Gold, Aether Gold, clearly they need the Sky Silver? Oh well, that would be an amazing addition, and those guys would NOT be Order, judging by the fact that they are mentioned with dead gods an deamons. Could be a good pathway into the LoA plastic models, introducing them with the Valay.
