Hello Fellow CD lovers!!
I am so sorry from straying from the path that is ‘square basing’ lol!
I sold all my Chaos Dwarfs due to lack of interest in square basing but since I have been dealt a new hand in life I need to get back to what I love … (no not you ugly lot… ) the Iron Beards!
So the game plan:
I am looking to get a 2500 point army back up and running.
I have gone through our semi-dex and I must say I loke a lot of it. I am a huge fan of the artillery we are so very blessed with and I would like it to be the focal point of my army.
Sooo what I would like to incorporate in the list is:
Sorc-Prophet (I have no choice)
Daemonsmith (I think was tinkering with lists and I think two may be best)
Infernal Guard (ether one large block or two 24-man strong squads)
Magma Cannons (at least two as these things are the Bee’s Knees! and just super f’ing cool)
Death Rocket/ Hellcannon (both also extremely badass and could see one of each in the army)
K’daai Destroyer (Although I am unsure of a model I drool at his stats and after trolling everything I could find on the unit I need it in my army as a fast flankprotector / S**t Disturber)
K’daai Fireborn (not sure if I want these in the army but they are super cool as well so if I can I will)
ABSALUTLY NO GOBBOS I don’t want any greenskins in this army. Maybe its a bad thing tactically but I really don’t care I want to play super elite and almost a glass cannon play style.
Soooo what say you veterans?!?!?! think you can toss some suggestions my way to make this work? I am itching to spend the money on this army and maybe even to get it properly painted as it will be my one and only fantasy army and honestly I just want to play. I am not all that concerned with the building and painting process.

I would take a glans at the army list section, and write down couple of suggestions. Then it’s easier for others to comment your wishes;)

Alright I can toss the list I had made up. It's practically what I posted less magic items and points values. I'll update first post tonight.
Cheers,

Here is what I was thinking as far as an army list goes:
Sorc-Prophet
Tricksters Helm
Stone Mantle
Dark Castellean
Daemonsmith
Dispel Scroll
Daemonsmith
Enchanted Shield
CD Infernal Guard x25
Musician
Standard Bearer
CD Infernal Guard x25
Musician
Standard Bearer
Magma Cannon
Magma Cannon
Death Rocket
K’daai Destroyer
K’daai Fireborn x5
Thought process:
Place the Daemonsmiths with the artillery and have the two blocks of CD’s sit somewhat in front with the prophet in one block and castellean in the other. I would use the Fireborn and the Destroyer as flank protection/ enemy artillery harassment.
This puts me at 2365/2500 I left some room for items and tinkering. Any suggestions would be great!

Greetings,
Your Prophet would benefit from tal. of pres. and enchanted shield for a 2+ 4++, leave 50pts for other goodies.
Castellan can be made a bsb and add mask of the furnace, shield, luckstone and ironskull icon for a 2+ 4++ 2++ vs flameing, reroll 1 armoursave, 6++ for the unit vs warmachines
If your going to run fireborn i would recommend at least 6 in the unit because they tend to burn out over 6 turns

I agree. You need better protecion on those 2 guys. They are the backbone of your army, and really expensive (at least the prophet is)
There are many ways to protect them, but my prophet always get tal of pres and ench shield or charmed shield, it depends. In my latest list he has the dispel scroll cause he my only caster. You could give him the crown to make the unit stubborn. 2 units with stubborn is always nice.
I would upgrade the castellan to bsb, and let him take the mask. Some kind of shield and a lot of the time GW.
I think I would drop one deamonsmith and bump the fireborn up to 6 with a manburner.

Hey Gents,
So I have tweaked the list slightly… I really like the war machines so I will continue to keep as many as possible.
Let me know what you think of this list:
