Purpose:
The purpose of this list is to create a list based on current rules in a fair manner. The list contains no new models nor does it contain rules that aren’t fairly intuitive. This list tries to be quite simple and easy to use and explain to your opponent. This is definately a friendly list, but it is quite a fair one.
If you have any ideas, questions, comments, please feel free to do so.

The “look” of the army:
Here is the look I’m going for:
In my vision, I imagine industry; turn of the century factories churning out smoke and death. Sooty slaves, mostly orc and goblin as they are more easily found, but there are skaven and men, maybe even elves and lizardmen, all toiling away.
Their armies are encased in black iron and cruel bronze, Industry has churned out massive shields and deadly curved scimitars. The artillery is possessed by foul daemons, chained and ravenous. Sorcerors carry with them the power of mechanization, wreathed in smoke and fire. Chaos Dwarfs have never been a prolific race population-wise, so to boost their numbers, slaves are pushed into battle in their multitudes herded by cruel hobgoblins, and their steppe brethren ride viscious wolves bred to run down and capture slaves. Black orcs are a thing of the past in their own regiments. They would be used as slavers here and there, but the two factions are too distrustful of one another (chaos dwarfs and Black Orcs) to possibly come together in bulk. Mechanical monstorities rage across the battlefield, humungous and terrible, all with the visage of the Great Bull God, Hashut, the only god the Chaos dwarfs will ever worship.
As for hats…Sorcerors and powerful Champions wear hats mimmicking their great towers back in Zharr Naggrund, however, the bulk of the warriors are not allowed such a status symbol, as only the truly great may wear these.
