Hi all, as I said before, I’m using the WoC rules in order to play with my little chaotic dwarves because I think with this book is possible to make an army with a certain resemblance to CD.
Because I use the book in spanish, I’m sure something will not be properly written, sorry…
And here it is:
Chaos Lord on horse 326
runic shield and ethereal sword
this character will represent a bull centaur lord with some good runic weapons
Chaos champion with shield 240
banner of the gods
this will be a CD hero with a banner made in Zharr-Nagrrund
2 lvl 2 sorecerers with 1 dispel scroll each 290
a pair of CD sorcerers
15 chaos warriors with shields and comand group 295
battle banner
15 chaos warriors with shields and comand group 270
they will represent the CD warriors
30 marauders with shields and light armour 200
the hobgoblins, a big unit of cheap people
6 marauder horsemen with light armour,spear and “boss” 102
6 marauder horsemen with light armour,spear and “boss” 102
hobgoblins on wolves, love them
2 chaos chariots 240
love the new skullcracker of FW, and I need 2 of them :cheers
5 chaos knights with champion 220
I will use the bull centaurs to represent these people
hellcannon 205
total: 2490
The idea here is not to have a killer army, but to have something that will represent properly the idea of a CD army.
Even thought, I will accept all kind of comments about how to make it more “dwarvish”.
sounds prett good, If you ever decide to use trolls or ogres you should convert some inferno golems. or if you use dragon ogres some big bull centaurs would look good (maybe converted from chaos steeds).
The idea of using chaos dwarfs as warriors of chaos has been discussed a number of times already. Im sure if you find that thread it would be useful for you.
yeah, there are lots of ideas to represent the warriors of chaos units using our dark dwarves but at the moment i’m going to use the most common ones, and in the future I’ll be converting to increase the collection
How do you plan to field your units, so how many ranks and how many models will be in a rank ?
well, I still have to read the rulebook, but I think the CD will go in 3 ranks of 5 each. the greenskins… don’t know, 5 ranks of 6, maybe
I would go for 3 ranks of 6, so you can maximize your damage out put with the warriors. As for the greenskin, I’ve seen a marauder horde, it was pretty effective. And like Baggronor said, you need warshrines. You can also make immortals to use as chosen.
The entire unit, It might be a good idea to drop the unit champions, as you pay an a lot for just an attack extra, for that attack you can almost buy an extra warrior.
If yo uare looking for list advice, I would suggest perhaps going with a sorceror lord at lvl 3 or 4 as opposed to the two hero level casters. Magic defense is crucial, and chaos magic is devastating. What lore will you use? Have had great success with shadow and death.
Also, I think your chaos warriors could use marks. Tzeetch and or the mark of khorne go a long way for their cost. I also worry that your units small. They will be susceptible to shooting and magic. I believe chaos warriors to be the single best infantry choice in this game and recommended you take more of them.
Oh, and I second the call for the Maruader horde. They are one of my best unit. Nothing does more for less. I have 40 with great weapons and the Mark of Khorne for 250 points. They hurt stuff.
