Congratulations.

I’ve enjoyed playing the beta versions and complaining about what I didn’t like :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Will look forward to playing the finished product.

Grimstonefire:

Just flicking through the painted models I think this book really draws attention to the magnificient achievements of our members here on CDO, which is of course exactly as it should be. :wink:

Baggronor:

Very professionally done, awesome finish :cheers

lol I love the ‘Look out for these army books also in the Unofficial Indy GT series’ part on the back cover (If you really mean to do Imperial Nippon, thats one I would want to help with in a BIG way :)).

Border Reiver:

Baggranor, I really want to compliment you on the artwork that went into this book (you too Matt).

I too loved the “Look for these army books” list and look forward to the fimir and may even have to start playing 40K if you start playtesting Squats…

Xander:

Awesome stuff! This is a really great achievement for the Chaos Dwarf community. :slight_smile:

A couple things. Snotling’s page has some of Ishkur’s Big Hat models on it.

And The Chaos Dwarfs Online Community did not get a special thanks in the book! Awww. :stuck_out_tongue: But there are some links to the showcase armies on the site, which was cool to see. :slight_smile:

mattbird:

argh! on the snotling/ishkur mixup. Each person had reviewed and approved their spreads (I think they all did), so I thought I’d covered it all. Sorry about that. We will fix it when there is a version 1.1., which I expect once GW legal has it’s way with the thing.

and - I gave multiple plugs for site! In the introduction, and the miniatures section!

:frowning:

thanks for the kind words, though. :slight_smile:

Khunag:

Words cannot describe how awesome this is.

Thommy H:

Funnily enough, I credited some of Ishkur’s figures to Snotling in one of my early drafts of my book. Their models are very different, but I think because they’re both such hobby gurus around here (and we’re used to seeing Snotling’s figures even though Ishkur is more active) they sometimes get mixed up in the imagination.

Anyway, good job. It’s always amusing to see the overlap in artwork - you used Baggranor’s big picture of the whole Chaos Dwarf army with the Lord on the ledge almost exactly as I did so I got a weird “wait, isn’t that my book?” deja vu thing when I saw it…

Zanko:

Brilliant work! :hat off

I’m very impressed!

Now I’m curious if the Chaos Dwarfs will put up a good show in the next tournaments!

           :hashut

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Looks awesome!

I’ll have to spend more time reading it, but I just wish I was up to snuff with the model builders that were able to contribute to this “publication”.

Maybe not directly. "Word of Hashut" is mentioned in the background section, which I found hilarious.

Skittles:

I’m very impressed guys - I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I think this is the best job I’ve seen yet of taking the spirit of the Ravening Hordes list, and fixing the issues with it. Case in point - the Blunderbuss and Earthshakers have the same feel, but in my opinion, with these rules, they seem more in line and balanced with the current GW rulesets.

Very good job…

Method:

i just wish the blunderbusses were more effective vs large single models… BUT we cant have it all :slight_smile:

GRNDL:

Gah, now I wish I had contributed to it!

Its looking good. I printed it off at work and was shocked by the full colour in the finished product. It looks great!

mattbird
Do you think that's going to be a problem?

Although I am not an expert i would expect so... Despite saying an its unofficial book, it looks an awful lot like a GW army book.

GW asked Podhammer to change its logo for it being made in the same font style as the Games Workshop logo.

The book looks great guys. Congrats on a job well done :cheers

mattbird:

hard to say. they have guidelines that we followed, but you never know.

Dontmesswithhashut:

Wow congrats guys! I e-flipped through it and it is amaZing! :smiley:

Uzkul Werit:

Well I have my original copy of the list. That’s the important bit. Having done just Chaos Dwarfs (Ravening Hordes) and Nurgle Daemons, I have never had so much choice in one of my armies before!
