I’ve been a long time lurker on these forums and would like to let you know about a youtube channel that myself and some friends have started. We have been doing batreps and hobby vlogs about all of our exploits in warhammer fantasy. We release weekly content and have a good number of videos now up on the channel. Feel free to check them out and hopefully you guys enjoy watching them as we do making them:
If you guys have any comments or suggestions for us we would be glad to hear them. On a related note we just released a video with my chaos dwarfs vs a beautifully painted dark elf army.
Suggest you baby sit the deathshrieker rocket with the daemonsmith, in fact castle up with the hell cannon as that re-roll is really vital in a gun line army.
That witchelf unit with a cauldron of blood is a really impressive sight. Even if it wasn’t a good unit, I would bring it for the looks. Fine report.
Tactics leave room for some tune up. Like wolf says. The hellcannon and deathshrieker can both use that re-roll. Fire one machine, fire next machine - hope to have a re-roll left for the second scatter dice. Great for keeping the machines alive and add accuracy.
I like the green paint job, it original. Don’t think it works on the Iron Demon though.
Yea right from the get go I realized I ballsd up my deployment. To be fair that was one of the first games I’ve had with the army and have had a few more practice games in. Hopefully in the next report I can make you guys proud
If you want to win against elfs you should bring magmacannons. Looking forward to more reports!

Why you thinki magmacanon is good against elves? I mean it is always nice to have it but against t3, low save, single wound units deatshrikers are better with potential 5" template and lower cost.
And of coures great armies and report. I play both DE and CHD so it was really interesting to watch this battle.
The army is part of my four armies of chaos in working on. The warriors and deamons are for the most part done so now I’m working on the chaos dwarfs then after that beastmen. I have them all based the same and have the same splash colors. The idea is that the army is based around my warriors(all nurgle) army hence the green.

I’ve played a number of games against Elves, and Magma Cannons are Devastating.
Two Magma Cannons and you�?Tre seriously hurting either a huge block of White Lions with the Banner of the World Dragon as there not Magical Attacks or against huge block of Witches with a Cauldron of Blood.
It�?Ts good to note that you don�?Tt need to fully cover the Cauldron of Blood to hit the bunker of Death Hag BSB etc, as if it touches its classed as hitting.
The Lore of Hashut is awesome, however for the points and IMOP the Sorcerer-Prophet needs to be mounted to get the best result. Also when he�?Ts mounted it also makes your opponent think a little harder when closing the gap.
Did you Hellbound your Iron Daemon, I typically use it as an anchor with the gun which will shred Champions on a mount, Monstrous anything. Whilst people think it movement is restrictive you need to note it move like a Chariot so you can position the gun were you want it and still get reasonably closer.
The Iron Daemon would have shredded them Shades, before any of his other units would of even got close.
Plus consider taking Hobgoblins and place them on your flanks, remember the Deathshrieker fires like a stone thrower so can see over troops. Also if you take a Magma Cannon, the way the model is sat on a carriage it can also see over the stumpy Chaos Dwarfs (perfectly legal).
So in summary use your Iron Daemon and Hellcannon as flank defenders, some Hobgoblins which can be sent forward to slow down the enemy while you�?Tre Magma Cannons wipe out units.
Just some thoughts, looking forward to seeing the next battle report with chaos Dwarf.
PS really like the green theme of the army look beasting.
Thanks for the advice. I have a game tomorrow and will try the deployment suggestions out. I also cut some infernal guard and the rocket to fit in a magma cannon.
