It’s like the gold rush, just the god rush.

"There’s god in them thar hills…"

I have a general bone with the idea races should be team players. Elves, Empire and Dwarfs should not be ‘Team Good’, it (given their background) make no sense at all for them to be the solid team GW have them as in campaigns etc.

It does unbalance campaigns, because they don’t put enough effort into giving the races a reason to fight against each other.  Nemesis was quite good in this regard, but there were no prizes at the end of the day.

I’m guessing that most of the time the ‘good’ team works together because of forum relationships and alliances made between war councils.  It’s why if CD are released before the next WH campaign I am very keen to form a Chaos Star war council.  With help from O&G, possibly skaven as well we could really provide an organised counter force to the good guys.

Let’s face it, with the power creep we’ve seen, with WoC & DoC on our side things are already looking good! :wink:

A god dug up by the Chaos Dwarfs. :D

This is a damned interesting idea, actually. Reference Lord of the Rings - "The Dwarves delved too deep and too greedily. . . " and Robert E. Howard's original Conan tales, where there are several demon-gods that come up out of the earth. So perhaps Hashut came to be their god when they freed him to internal cataclysm, and then turned to his might to save them from Daemons when their ancestor gods could not.

I don't have much of a problem with the loose associations of good guy and bad guy - it's a matter of practicality. Neither Orcs, nor Chaos, nor Undead can be coexisted with. At all. So when they wax great enough to threaten one of the three groups than can coexist with each other fairly comfortably, being Elves, Dwarfs, and Men, they find themselves facing the inevitable allies. Besides, the three primary 'good' guys are basically defensive in nature. The 'bad' guys are by their nature offensive. And they can get away with less coordination - a ravaged human city is a ravaged human city. Whether you meant to attack in concert, or just took the opportunity when the soldiers left to fight the Daemon-horde, matters not.

It would help if GW did more campaigns that didn't consist of "Day 1: the universe hangs on the edge of annihilation..."

i think the chaos dwarfs are NOT allieds or a complement to a chaos

Their God are Hashut, not Slaneesh, Nurgle…

And in his history, the chaos dwarfs battle agains the barbarians, and the chaos warriors, and lose some dwarfs in his battles…An a dwarf is a spiteful! A dwarf never forget!

The Hellcannon in the Archaon Army is a insult to the CD History, but…Workshop are Workshop and doesn’t matter that.

I’ think the Chaos Dwarfs name are incorrect

The correct name is Hashut Dwarfs or Renegade Dwarfs!

No, they are. Sorry if you don't like it for some reason, but that's the way it is: Chaos Dwarfs sell weapons, armour and war machines to Chaos Warriors. They have the same broad aims as their allies. They're on the same side - generally speaking.
