hi,
i havent seen this anywhere else
but i thought that posibly a series of posts dicusing the pros and cons of our chaos dwarfs
this isnt a rule making list, later it wil cover rumored units but at this specific moment it will just be whats in the ravening horde list,
and later the old marauder units, asking should they be added n such n such but for now…
chaos dwarf lords.:hat
pros, there tough, there good in combat, there basicaly a normal dwarf lord without some of there bonuses with super high ld (just like regular dwarfs…,)
and best of all they get to mount the great taurus, wich makes the chaos dwarf lord a formitable n mobile enemy, with its breath attack, it can also render those pesky war macine crews toast, no movement penalty for armour helps too,
cons, without a movement boost of the said taurus hes pritty slow in moveing, but all dwarfs are, so against our good brothers closeing to them is just as much trouble for us, low inititave means your probably striking last, but dwarfs have this too
limited magic items, ok were stil a tiny list but guys i find some of the items that are in normal magic item lists well over priced, and the basic magic items quite fill the void (dispel scroll anyone ok thats a magic user item, but im just making a point)
no ranged attack, i believe we should have acces to pistols, but atm we dont so no ranged attack without the tarus
comparing to normal dwarfs
oathstone, i dont like it its inflexable, it has its uses ie standing against mr bloodthirster, but i dont like it, im not saying oaths arnt important to a chaos dwarf, its just there not likley to have grudges like regular dwarfs
runes:- this deserves a special note dwarfs do create some powerful runic items surely runecrafting would be with chos dwarfs too, or at least some form, chaos rune sword anyone, so id like to see some runes , but ok if they dont they get magic users
thanks for reading, if i get a positive replies ill continue my analasis of our beloved chaos dwarfs
