**Ancient History** :

You could easily rule Chaos Dwarf Warriors use hammers. Makes converting a unit of Hammers led by a warrior wielding the Black Hammer of Hashut easier.

**Bassman** :

Do you mean actual minis edited by GW? Well our latest range 4/5th edition was one of the poorest ever. Even tough I love them I have to admit it. We could be satisfied we ayt least had characters with hammers!  
  
GW says that our was the worst selling army ever but they do not admit they released just two basic types of troops: blunderbusses and axemen!! :h

Most likely a question of style. GW likes to differentiate armies after all. Axes are a lot more Eeevil than swords or hammers. Spiky maces even more evil. And so on and so forth.   
And it is a lot easier to make axes look "ded killy" as our slaves are wont to say than hammers. Just tack on almost impossible looking spikes, razoredges and curves. A hammer always tend to be just a big lump of metal.

**Willmark** :

The whole perspective is this: dwarfs traditinally are associated with thecaxe and hammer, so why not have them use a sword I’d something else to seperate them from the norm?

Chaos Dwarfs would look quite nice modelled with scimitars or Shamshirs. Maybe even a Kopesh like the TK use.
