In regardess to games-day up and coming, couple of weeks now. I have set the task of painting and converting a small 500pt host. Below is the 500pts I will probaly be taking in regard to what models I have already converted. Any suggestions on slight tweaks are needed and tactical advice maybe?
If anyone else already has a 500pts list ready could you post it here so I could perhaps see what the other CD Generals are taking. Without much further a do heres the list.
This is made with the border patrol rules
Heros
Angar the Daemonic Manipulator 100pts
Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer - Level 2 (Shadow or Death)
Core
10x Chaos Dwarf Warriors (HW,HA,Shield) Full Command 120pts
11x Chaos Dwarf Blunderbuss (HW,BB,HA) Full Command 162pts
Excellent idea! I was going to get around to doing this thread myself but as you’ve already done it …
I like the army as I always toyed with getting an Earthshaker in a 500pts army but it just seemed to make the rest of the force too fragile. Here’s mine:
Well I thought, why not use an earthshaker and if I end up doing a doubles battle with another CD general, it will help them too.
I like your armylist! It would work well with mine giving support and my earthshaker giving you the opportunities for slow targets for your bolt thrower. :hat off
Mybe it’s the way I build armies, but Uzkul why are you spending more than 1/10th of your possible points on magic items? Against a fairly fast moving force, or simply an opponent with more regiments, you would have real challenges. Personally, a few disposable units of naked hobgoblins would support your units of DawiZharr better.
This is only in the 500pts list, mind you. Normally more points go towards other units. The Hero always gets that armour and the Warriors have the War Banner because I had the points spare. Hobgoblins are a thought, although I’m normally not big on them. Dropping the War Banner would get me 12, correct?
I think there was a few people last year who went down looking for opponents so there should be someone there to play, combined though we only have 1,500pts.
Well, if we are going to combine forces someone could make one list from what we have and see what it looks like, Im busy atm so I cant do it :o be nice to see what we have all in one army, If we dont find any victims we can always fight for slaves to conquer the west.
Yes there cant just be us three with a CD list going to GD. Get U.Nagash to post?
UltimateNagash will only be with us for about half an hour as he has the Warseer Meet Up at 2pm. We’re squeezed in between them and The Last Alliance! We’ll have to get some pictures of everything together. If we need anything extra I can provide it easily enough. As of now we have the following …
Uzkul Werit (Chaos Dwarf Hero): 94pts
Hand Weapon, Great Weapon, Armour of Gazrakh
Angar the Daemonic Manipulator (Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer): 100pts
Hand Weapon, Lv 2 Upgrade
Ghrask Dragh (Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer): 100pts
Hand Weapon, Lv 2 Upgrade
10 Chaos Dwarf Warriors: 120pts
Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, Shield, Full Command
18 Chaos Dwarf Warriors: 193pts
Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, Shield, Full Command
15 Chaos Dwarf Warriors: 165pts
Hand Weapon, Heavy Armour, Shield, Full Command
11 Chaos Dwarf Blunderbussmen: 162pts
Hand Weapon, Blunderbuss, Heavy Armour, Full Command
Looks like an ok list, we would be alright against woodies with all those small blunderbuss regiments
I think we would struggle against normal dwarfs or anyone who has a large ranked unit, then again all our small regiments could aid each other. I am just constructing some hobbos (snot-type hobbos I loovvee them, with my own oriental twist) so if we need an extra 10 hobbos i can have them haha. I also have plenty of DoW (ninjas are favourite) but we are there gaming on behalf of this community (and for fun :cheers )so another Earthshaker please Uzkul if 2k
Looks like your the commander also Uzkul with the CD Hero Ld (im ok with that, my sorc is just there on the behalf of his father Fizzgraper) :hat off
My friend will be watching he’s a new wood elf player and is just making the transition between 40k and Fantasy and would like to see some games to see how it works (he tried to get an army together but he is very busy, he managed 250pts :~ )
On a side note what Lore do you prefer to use Ghrask?
My sorc is modeled as a Shadow/Death sorc so that is what ill use, I haven’t got a digital cam so I can’t take the pictures :mad
This will actually be my first game as a Chaos Dwarf :cheers
I think I will leave it untill we see who we are playing before I choose a lores, though with your choices I will probably choose fire/metal just for variety.
I am also happy to fight under Uzkul’s banner! :hat off
PS. I will be taking my digital camera down, I got some pretty good pics last year and hope to do the same this year.
and have fun
