I’ve really tried, but I cannot find any better place to post this, so…
My gaming group is going to start playing Man o War, and I thought I would invest some money in a Chaos Dwarf fleet.
Any advice on what I should get?
zobo1942:
A higher credit limit.
Tribun:
Good modelling- skills 
macbeth:
Are the minis THAT difficult to find?
Minos:
I often see some Chaos Dwarf fleet minis on ebay. And I don’t think they are so expensive.
dncswlf:
I would say try to acquire a box/set of each, with at least 1 command ship. The taurus riders not really necessary… not that I’ve played chaos dwarfs… but I have a dwarf fleet… and the gyrocopters are not very effective, I imagine the taurus riders to be about the same… you may want 2 units of ships of the line… but if you start out with 1 each, you should have a good start… CD can always ally with pirates too, having some cheap pirate war galleys might not be a bad idea…
I’d say ebay is you best bet, there are some on right now… just saw them last night…
bas_2312:
If you’re interested, I still have a Chaos fleet for sale 
This is what I have:
- 1 Khorne Bloodship (new in box)
- 3 Khorne Ironsharks (new in box)
- 1 Slaanesh Hellship (painted)
- 6 Slaanesh Hellrammers (painted)
- 1 Nurgle Plagueship (painted)
- 3 Nurgle Plaguecrushers (painted)
- 3 plastic Galleys (painted as Nurgle Deathgalleys)
- 12 plastic Galleys (unpainted)

The models are hard to find and can cost a lot but you can still pick up some bargains out there i was able to get 3 Taurus riders for £5 but saying that i have seen the great leveller on the eBay for £30 just for the one ship, i was lucky and got my fleet off some one at my local club for £25 so you can find them cheep just need to search around and keep an eye open
macbeth:
I tried the game yesterday, and it was great! I’m definitely getting a fleet. Already ordered some ships, I 'm going to try to build a CD fleet…
Thommy H:
Have you considered just using some Uncharted Seas ships as proxies? The Shroud Mages are the equivalent of Chaos Dwarfs and look exactly like something the Dawi’Zharr would build to me.
Plus, I think if Man o’ War was released today, the models would look more like these than the old ones. Think of the difference in aesthetic between Battlefleet Gothic and Spacefleet.

@Thommy H, ohh nice models.
Good find.
macbeth:
Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look...

Fequiil:
aren't they bigger than the man o war ships?

Thommy H:
I have no idea. I don’t think there’s that much indication of scale on either, to be honest.
macbeth:
I did it!
I finally got a 1.000 point fleet or true man o war chaos dwarves for about 100 euros…
They’re quite nice, even if the guns are really huge, but I’m looking forward to trying them on the battlefield… That’s for next friday, normally against our hated brethren… I’ll try to post some pics aftewards…
nitroglysarine:
Nothing wrong with big guns
