Well I ended up getting to warhammer fest, aswell as picking up shitor I had a chat with the design team. I asked them about why shitor had cow fingers over human hands like the other bull centaurs. Was told it was partly due to a slight re design to the race. After hearing this I said “but we have the full range out don’t we?”. The designer sort of laughed and said "soon soon"
New models confirmed
Ravenswood:
Oh oh oh. That means I need to buy the bull centaur as fast as I can. And taur’uk too(
But it is great news anyway
Firehammer:
Greta news!
(But it is Shar�?Ttor, not Shitter ;))
fonejaker:
Shit'or is what his mum calls him ;)
Greta news!

Veshnakar:
Shar’tors aesthetic is very different than the current Legion of Azgorh. I guess I will have to splurge on some bull centaurs as well. I really like their current appearance. I hope this change is limited to just the Bull Centaurs.
Skink:
I hope this change is limited to just the Bull Centaurs.Seconded. Although, judging by the latest Daemonsmith incarnation, "regular" Chaos Dwarfs will look the way they always did; with mustache, scale armor, and tall hats.

I’ve never heard of fw redesigning models that have already been released.
Thanks for posting
Skink:
…I hope that this means they will make models (or at least rules) for Hobgoblins, Blunderbusses, Destroyers, & Lords on Great Taurus & Lammasu.
fonejaker:
The current models will remain the same but the new models will be in a different style
Grimstonefire:
Just to clarify here, was your impression he meant entirely new models or reworking existing ones.
When you say “the race” you mean bull centaurs or Chaos Dwarfs?
I’d be more than a little anxious if they reimagine the chaos dwarf race…
Thommy H:
New setting, new Chaos Dwarfs. There were always going to be changes if they were planning to develop the range - which, to be fair, I was 99% certain would never happen until reading this!

To me the bits you wrote about Zhargon, the Black Orc rebellion, and the slow, but steady Chaos Dwarf expansions, are the best snippets of CD related background I ever read :hat off

99% of it was already there, to be fair.
gIL^:
Im all for more Chaos Dwarfs, they wont change the Infernal Guard. I also will not put them on rounds, but my Giants will!
fonejaker:
To clarify, current models will stay the same. Anything new will be slightly differently designed
Admiral:
Thanks for that information! Good news. :cheers
There is no drastic redesign of CD anatomy apparent in the new Daemonsmith, so any stylistic changes in the new range will be business as usual for the Chaos Dwarfs, who have enjoyed a wealth of very different styles through the years.
Abecedar:
I’ll just play my usual “Wait and See” game
Horace:
Some new Hobgoblins would be appreciated for sure
fonejaker:
When I spoke with them back before the range was released, the hobgoblins were being worked on. Apparently based on the goblins from labyrinth
Admiral:
Now that is particularly welcome news. Previously, FW had chosen not to put out Hobgoblins because IIRC the cost for a horde of resin Hobgobbos would be astronomical. A missed opportunity in my opinion, given the silly prices OOP Hobgoblins go for on Ebay, but perhaps the new variant of Hobbos could rectify this miss? Many Chaos Dwarf collectors are not known for taking the cheap route but will pay for quality. Looking forward to see the green bastards.
