Auretious Taak:

Okay so I just read through the fire, metal, shadow and death laws, and I’d like to know peoples thoughts on what list is best for the Chaos Dwarfs.

I find fire is blunt and too the point, effective but my list favourite of the 4 lores as it is not flexible enough. Death follows in 3rd in my opinion as whilst it had its uses such as the -3 leadership spell, and the extra wound one, I find it a bit like the fire lore. Shadow comes in at 2nd as the movement spells are damned useful for the slow ass chaos dwarves but also nifty in the other spells. I find Metal as the most flexible and most interesting one, especially good for taking out high armoured individuals like knights as well as having all sorts of fun as a whole.

This thread is to discuss your thoughts on these 4 lores of magic in regards to the Chaos Dwarves and the warhammer game itself. I would love to get people’s combinations of items and advanced tactics as well as moving into playing the Chaos Dwarves as a whole I’d like to know what I’m in for and whether to bust out on a level 4 Sorcerer on Lammasu or go for the Lord on Bull Centaur ultimately.

Cheers all,

Auretious Taak.

I use Metal a lot. It’s my favorite. Against VC or Nurgle Demons Metal or Fire are both good… more so fire with Nurgle Demons. Casting values are decent, it can shut down war machines while your earth shakers help take down the other shooting/slow them. All around good spells. Very fluffy too.

Death is my preferred back up. Decent casting values, decent spells, and it’s also just cool and very fitting for the Chaos Dwarfs in my eyes. Fire can be good, it really can be and is also fitting. I don’t like Shadows as the #1 spell is not so useful, and the only spell I really like is the movement one.

Regardless of effect I have always been a fan of the Lore of Fire for mainly fluff reasons.

Fire and death are both pretty good.

Metal is fantastic against certain armies, less useful against others.

It really depends on what you’re going up against.

If I had to pick one to use all the time it would probably be fire.

fire is all around good. the other three just depends what you are up against.
