nilbog:
Having just started with chaos dwarfs, could you have a look at this and let me know if I’m on the right track?
The club where I intend playing CD at doesn’t allow magic (not even magic items).
Rykarth (minus his magic armour) 200
Chaos dwarf BSB, chaos armour, shield and great weapon 96
19 warriors, full command, shields 196
10 annihilators, full command 245
10 annihilators, full command 245
20 hobgoblins, full command 100
10 stikkas 50
10 stikkas 50
Death rocket 90
14 obsidian guard, great weapons, full command 240
2 spear chukkas 70
Earthshaker 110
1492
Ideally I wouldn’t put command on the annihilators but I’m limited by my models.
Comments and criticism most welcome!

No magic!!! Thats horrible, especially if your high elves. Anyway, looks pretty good… i’d include more hobbo’s though…
Time of Madness:
Rykarth doesn’t make much sense to me at all.
You are paying 200pts for a character that makes your obsidian guard unbreakable. However that character doesn’t have an armour save!
You’d be much better off taking a regular chaos dwarf slavemaster to lead your army. He already comes with chaos armour, just give him a shield for some extra protection and a great weapon to make him flexible (just like your bsb). That change alone is going to save you a boat load of points.
I’d look at getting at least 25 hobgoblins (so pick up 5 more) at a minimum.
You have the annihilators priced wrong. They are actually only 145pts a unit. They are much more effective in units of 15 though for the extra S boost.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve actually played high elves at this club and they don’t do too bad. Pheonix guard, chariots and dragon princes are still good units without magic.
Anyway, I’ll swap rykarth as suggested and add in more hobgoblins for fodder.
Time of Madness:
Did you end up coming up with a final list?

Pretty similar to before:
Slavemaster, GW, shield 71
BSB slavemaster, GW, shield 96
19 warriors, FC, eruption gun 241
2x10 annihilators, FC 290
25 hobgoblins, FC 120
2x10 stikkas 100
36 rabble, taskmaster 82
Death rocket 90
14 obsidian guard, GW, FC 240
2xspear chukkas 70
Earthshaker 100
Total 1500
How does this look?
