Love it all - perfect for the ninth ageThank you very much! I am not really familiar with these rules or lore but I guess I should learn about it sometime. ) :D

And some more desert dawi for my collection:
Desert Dwarf Immortals
Desert Dwarf Immportals unlike Blacksouls are professional warriors. In order to get this honorary title a dwarf should either earn it by feats of great courage or bravery on the battlefield, or earn it by long-time service in the army. As a result most Immortals regiments are comprised of older dwarfs. And an older dwarf is usually a fatter and even slower dwarf. However they are usually richer than their younger kin, so can afford better weaponry and armour.
Any comments, please? ) :hat off
Admiral:
Their ostentation is clear for all to see. Great choice to include luxurious blue. It must mark them out well as elite in the army as a whole!
Abecedar:

Wise words

Thank you, guys! :hat off
Well, it is time for another visit to Golden Sands Desert…
Desert Dwarfs Chariots of Fire
Many aspects of Desert Dwarfs’ life is unclear. One of the mysteries is why they call their chariots “Chariots of Fire”. They have no (visible, at least) fiery enchantments on them, or any real fire that dwarf charioteers use during combat. Most likely the name was given because of the polished bronze sides of the chariots that glitter in the sun like raging fire. Thundering blindingly glittering monstrosity that goes your way does indeed terrify foes of desert dawi.
Any comments, please? ) :hat off
Wiegraf:
Love the chariots. Everything in this army makes me want to paint my Persians and put each unit side by side to this armies units and try to find the resemblances 
Uther the unhinged:
Chariots, beautiful chariots. The fit so well with your army. I hope you hum the tune when they charge! I can not wait to see what is next.
Admiral:
They make for an impressive sight. Wonderful to see so many CD chariots! Great choice there and neat colours. May they trample and crush thy foes.
Abecedar:
Lovely to behold. A chariot is something I’ve been idling with for years, but six is awesome

They will be a most suitable terrain for my humble army. )

Actually yes, when I am painting, I do listen to thematic music. Something like this.

Lovely to behold. A chariot is something I've been idling with for years, but six is awesomeThanks a lot! :hat off Actually I painted seven. One will most likely be shown later, because it is reserved for a hero character! :D
Abecedar
I greatly appreciate your kind words, gentlemen. That inspires me to keep working on the army! Thank you again! You are awesome! :cheers
The_Penguin:
And another small update! :cheers
Desert Dwarfs Berserks
Ophidian scholars speculate as to who exactly these half-naked brutes are. Are they bound by some grand oaths? Are they cursed by unknown magics? Do they drink some kind of potion which makes them so aggressive? In reality these are the dwarfs who lost their bighats. A proper desert dwarf will never part with one, unless it goes off with the head of the owner. Those who had their hat stolen or destroyed by some other means should earn it back at all costs. The only way to do it is to take enough skulls of enemies that will make the full height of the said hat if put one atop another (which is usually 2-3 skulls). After they earn their hat back some return to everyday life or join ranks of Blacksouls or Immortals. Some, however, “lose” their hats too often and keep fighting among the hatless just for the fun of it.
Don’t lose your hats, fellow dawi! :hat off
Admiral:
Ahahaha! This is the best reason for outcast shamed CDs someone ever came up! Nice paintjob, too. :cheers
Kamphre:
Sweet !
Can you tell me where this dwarfs are from please ?
Carcearion:
Sweet !These are Rozmax's "The Berzerkers of Fire Canyon Unit" sold by the Russian Alternative

Thats a really impressive army you got there, original concept as well. Thanks for sharing!
Award the man a medal!

Admiral
Sweet !Thank you very much. :cheers Yes, my compatriots are apparently quite good at making chaos dwarfs. I used resin ones for regiments and metal for heroes. :)

Indeed they are. :)

Thanks for sharing!Thank you very much! :hat off I can't say I am totally satisfied with the result (I never am), but I have always wanted a proper desert themed army. Now I am toying with the idea of desert orc and human armies as well. But not before I finish those awesome guys! Stay tuned for upcoming terrain! :D
Award the man a medal! :P

How have the Berzerkers faired for you on the battlefield? I have so many points tied up in my Katsuchans and Heavy Mortars (and in unlocks for them) that I haven’t been able to squeeze them in.

Carcearion
Both they and their non-abyssal brethren are too expensive for chaff, can't really take a beating, if charged. Not to mention a proper volley from shooters or artillery. And again too expensive to use as distraction.
I have seen only one game where they were more or less useful, when they were hiding behind forest and other terrain pieces and managed to charge and mutilate a regiment of Sharpsticks (?) in one turn. Was it worth it? Hardly. :)
Carcearion:
Aww I'm sorry to hear that, I've been planning a second Chaos Dwarf army (specifically to include units I'm not using in my current Tournament list like the Berzerkers) - I have a theory that a troop of them might make for a good "second wave" infantry to deploy behind a Regiment of infantry (maybe Blacksouls, Slave Orcs, or possibly even Decimators) to do clean up and to then to hop on objectives (that +1 speed can go a long-long way in the last round on the game trying to cross the table!). I saw a local player do very well with a Regiment of them once before, and he said they performed way over expectations for him every game - but neither of us where really able to explain what it was about them on paper that worked (he conceded he thought maybe he just got good rolls with them).How have the Berzerkers faired for you on the battlefield?

I really like the idea of putting them behind Decimators. :cheers perhaps I should try that some time!
Carcearion
That is perhaps my problem with them. Units like that, indeed, rely too much on good rolls, if you ask me. However, I really do not have enough experience with them to say for sure. :)
