[Archive] Chaos Dwarfs and Squats

Grimstonefire:

A random observation, anyone else find it interesting that several names of things from the Squats have found their way into CD fluff?

Collossus - Kollossus (a landing platform for the Land Train)

Hellfury Cannon - Hellfire Cannon/ Hell Cannon

Earth shaker - Earthshaker (earth shaker I believe was from the 40k basilisk, which probably came before CD?)

Berserkers - Berserkers.

It would be fair to point out that Thunderers, tunnellers and gyrocopters also feature, clearly borrowing ideas from Dwarfs.

Some of the names of things would still be good in a CD context, like the Volcano Cannon or Thunderfire Cannon.

I quite like the idea of a land train as well.

Border Reiver:

The Biker image might be interesting

vulcanologist:

totally agree Grim… some epic squats were actually some of my first models. never had many though and not the land train sadly!

Shakhorth:

Loved the squats, it’s a shame they got wiped out. Certainly the blimp and train were awesome.

It’s great to see some of the squats essence live on in the CD’s.

Bolg:

Unfortunately the models are uber expensive, But they mix very well with (chaos)Dwarfs.

Thommy H:

Chaos Dwarfs have berserkers?

Grimstonefire:

They had some rules anyway (wiki link)
