Niblebitzer:
I have also heard about people in our area giving interest on chaos dwarfs.
What I have talked about with these people, one of most important thing that happaned was ETC organization accepting chaos dwarfs as legal army. In Finland many of the tournament organizer follow ETC comps atleast partially and after ETC approval it is very easy for them to accept chaos dwarfs too.
Can’t say about ranking forgeworld chaos dwarfs, mine are arriving hopefully in a few days. It’s good to get a warning before so that I can give it enough attention.

My gaming buddies still seem to be skeptical about it's acceptability power-wise, but I think they just need to play against it more and learn the tricks. There are broken builds (like triple Magma Cannons, train convoy, etc) but mostly I think its ok.

I can see triple Magma being quite nasty, but what the heck is a train convoy and why is it broken? Triple Iron Daemon?
Everyone seems to think the Daemon is near unusable...
I think the LoA-List is perfect. It has a lot of variety for being such a short list. You can build strong CC-Armies (K'Daai, Centaurs, IG), All-shooting Gunlines, pseudo hobbo hordes and well balanced fluff armies.
And same goes for the power-level: All is possible from fun/fluff armies with Daemon and Dreadquake to top-tier with Destroyers, Hell- and Magma Cannon. (But nothing another top-tier army like DE, Vamps, Daemons, WoC couldn't beat)

As much as I like the fact that we have an accepted book/list, I’m still a little disapointed with the finished product.
With a couple of minor adjustments and a little tinkering they could have made the LoA list a lot more balanced. Better yet, they could have asked us here from some feedback in the form of some type of trial/beta list.
Unfortunately there are a lot of options in the book that don’t see much/very little use (ie fireglaives, blunderbusses, fireborn, dreadquake etc). There are also some choices in the book that see way too much use such as the destroyer and magma cannon.
With a little bit of testing they could have put together a very balanced list, unfortunately it missed the mark in my opinion.
In saying all that I have still seen the list used fairly regularly, even at tournies.

Time of madness, no offense meant, but why would they ask the CD community?
you dont see other communities being asked about what should be in their army books, so why should WF ask the community here? it makes no sense to me.
Time of Madness:
GW asked the Dark Elf Forum community (druchii.net) when they put out the White Dwarf dark elf revision list.
When I submitted the Chaos Dwarf FAQ to FW on behalf of our community they accepted it with open arms and answered many of the questions purposed to them.
FW had a trial list for the Chaos Dwarfs released prior to the LoA list. All I’m saying is it would have resulted in a better balanced list if they had presented it to us first.

GW didn't ask, druchii.net went to GW (literally) and asked for those changes themselves. They didn't get everything they asked for (it was a pretty excessive list). I knew one of the guys who negotiated with GW, he'd only been playing Warhammer for about a year when he did it!
There is nothing to stop us from doing the same. If someone wants to start a thread on how to improve the army rules then they are more than welcome to do so. Maybe they will see light in a second printing of Tarmurkha, or another book.
