Skittles and I were playing with the WoC book before its release based off what we knew from the net, both of us playing around with different lists (more so him).
Apparently it was the same or the Smurfs… er Space Marines too.
Even the Lizards seemed to have pretty good info out and about ahead of time.
I know I was working on VC lists based on info that had come out.
Got this from GW when I asked them about the rumor.
Hello,
We�?Tve heard the same rumors (probably form the same sources), but we have not heard anything official about Chaos Dwarfs being redone. Unfortunately, we wouldn�?Tt have more information until they were closer to coming out (if they are).
Thanks!

Unfortunately they wouldn’t have authority to reveal the upcoming CD book, even if it did exist and they were aware of it, so that doen’t tell us much, sadly.
I dont think we will see a new CD army at least until after the release of 8th edition if not not 9th edition rules.
When they released the Hellcannon for Chaos I felt then that was the end of the CD army and that chaos dwarfs would now only be units in WoC army’s. With the removal of RH from the GW web site and the removal of RH from official GW tourny games also but with the Hellcannon still official for WoC army’s all sends a strong signal from GW that CD’s are done as a warhammer army and the most you will ever see of chaos dwarfs will be special units for chaos army’s.

That is reading into things a bit much. I don't that is any indicator one way or the other, but a result of the shift of the website.
Secondly, if GW feels they can profit from it, they'll do it. They know a Chaos Dwarf redo would be fairly popular, with lots of people interested (even non CD players). If this translates into enough sales to warrant it, is what ultimately matters. It's a simple game of numbers.
Plus if they do, it'll be a bigger project than any other army for quite some time except perhaps Ogres... and Ogres have a lot of carry over in molds.
I think that I wasn’t there, so don’t have the full details. Second hand information on these kinds of things tend to have those for saying “He said it would come soon!”, and those against saying “He said it wouldn’t happen for a long time”.
While it’s possible that they could start on it now and take several editions to it, it’s just as likely to say that they’ve been working on it for some time now in the background, and they’re going to release it soon. However, with the media blackout from GW, we’re running blindly into something, it’s just an arguement over what it is, and how far out it is.
Assuming they are doing a revision, do you reckon they’re going to follow the look of the hellcannon crew? Overall the rumours sound very vauge, anything could happen. And kera I hope we do get to see some CD mini’s even if they are only a teaser! Atleast we’ll know the rumours are concrete.
