Hi there,
I’ve been playing Warhammer since 2001, from the 5th to the 8th.
I’m a Spaniard expat in Switzerland, but recently I joined a local community, Karak Norn Wargaming Club, and we are going to play a narrative campaign in 6th. I’m super excited about it.
I own several armies but in the past years I wanted to build a Chaos Dwarf army. I’ve been proxying with Battle for the Skull Pass and some conversions.
I join this community to learn, read and discuss abuot rules and painting advice.
Happy to be here,

Hi Zambula,
Welcome to the clan! Sounds like you’re in for a lot of fun haha.
Well, you’ve picked a great time to start chaos dwarfs as I believe there have never been so many great options available to new players.
What kind of army are you looking for?

The classic one! I love these clumsy ugly metal miniatures. The AoS looks too modern for my taste, even if it’s great to see them back in the fields.
I plan to begin with the unique units (Lammasu, Bull centaurs) and keep building from there, as I can still proxy most of the units

Besides, kitbashing dwarfs/orcs is my second best option, being the first a proper oldie

Welcome! Great to have another 6th ed player

I refer to this for almost all questions regarding Ravening Hordes so I figured I should just make it available here! Enjoy!

Q. What is the correct description for Blunderbusses?
A. P.32: Blunderbuss rules. The last two sentences should be changed from “Hits are resolved at S3 if firing in 1 rank, S4 if firing in 2 ranks and S5 if in 3 or more ranks. Ranks must be complete to count.” to “Hits are resolved as S3 plus 1 per extra ra…
And don’t sleep on DoW!
One of the core issues with Chaos Dwarfs RH in the modern age is the lack of options compared to later lists. How can I use my classics with their crossbows? What if I want an Iron Daemon? Why would a dwarf not use some form of polearm when they are at such a reach disadvantage?
It turns out our friends-for-gold have a surprising amount of utility that can be used to field equipment not envisaged when RH was originally published. Here’s some examples ripe for converting, but please add more if …
AWESOME!
Thank you so much. I was familiar with the first, but the second is gold. I like gold!
