Hi all, debating whether it’s possible to get a chaos dwarf army finished for an event in mid-March and thought I’d join up. Hoping to look at all the painted minis, the discussions and be inspired.

[flagellant04]

Welcome welcome! Certainly possible, especially if you’re into printing. What do you have your eye on?

[denelian5]

Welcome to our great community!
I’m sure you can do it (I mean, I’m slow as fudge cake and wouldn’t be anywhere near getting it done. But I’ve seen members of this community commit amazing stunts of speed before)!
There’s loads of inspiration for both conversions, optional minis and great paint jobs all over the place.

[Loidrial]

Welcome pal! this forum is the cradle of inspiration!
are you looking for real models and/or stl files?

[Hams_Fan]

I’m just looking for inspiration from projects others have done. Maybe some advice on how to play Chaos Dwarfs in sixth edition

[Hams_Fan]

Thank you for the welcome, I think I’ve got all the models I need, I just need the inspiration to paint them!

[Jasko]

Welcome!
Going to a tournament is certainly a great motivator to paint an army. I did the same last year. Painted up 1500 pts plus extras in four months. Certainly not the highest painting standard in the world but had a cohesive look and I was quite pleased with having a fully painted army on the table. Take a look at my army blog here: I like Big Hats and I cannot lie [2022-05-01]

As for playing in 6th edition, it’s not a system I’ve played in decades. You are going to use the Ravening Hordes list I presume?

[Hams_Fan]

Yes, it would be ravening hordes, though I’m not certain if I’ll take Chaos Dwarfs yet.

A few starting points for you!

WHFB Ravening Hordes Errata/FAQ

I refer to this for almost all questions regarding Ravening Hordes so I figured I should just make it available here! Enjoy! Chaos Dwarfs (Ravening Hordes Army List) Direwolf FAQ v6.04 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…

Utilizing the Maximum Potential of Ravening Hordes with Regiments of Renown and Dogs Of War

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 …

6th Edition Chaos Dwarf Army List Advice (and a question about hobgoblins)

Hello all! I’ve just recently joined the ranks of the Dawi-Zharr and fulfilled a very old ambition to create an army in the style of the 90s Chaos Dwarfs (using 6th edition rules as a base with the hope of having a collection flexible enough to jump to 5th, 8th and possibly beyond should we show up in The Old World). As I’m using 6th edition (Ravening Hordes) as a baseline I wanted to ask for some input on my list I’m not striving for a highly competitive list and it’s mostly i…

All-Purpose, Evergreen Ravening Hordes (6th Ed)

The task: dissect, discuss and agree upon an all-in-one 2000pt list from Ravening Hordes 6th edition. What roster stands the best chance against a random opponent? @Jasko provided some good prompts in Discord, so I’ve rustled up a starter list to get us thinking. If this were patted into shape, it would be fun for players across CDO to stress test the same army with their models. Chaos Dwarfs by committee, let’s go! Edit: the values next to the names are their base points value so I don’t ge…

Feel free to ask any questions you might have! It’s not the most complicated list but it’s got great potential.

Hello, after many years I opened my old war hammer box. Here was my chaos dwarf army circa 1994, big hats, beards and all. I started painting again finishing up some blunderbusses and the dreaded lammasu. I am not up to speed on warhammer fantasy and looking for any advice and tips. I see there have been many rule changes and what appears to be a new updated set of minis. Thanks!

Welcome Rhyfel
This is the place to be for all that and a bag of chips.
Just dive in and start reading, WARNING many rabbit holes ahead.

Welcome! The new shiny thing is Warhammer: The Old World, where Chaos Dwarfs have gotten a glow up in the form of a very nice set of rules available in pdf. We have gotten an army list that resembles a mix of the old and the new, so unless you have tons of goblins and orc boys in your army, you should be able to use all your old stuff!

[Rhyfel]

That sounds great. I have a units of blunderbuses, axemen, and bull centaurs. Plus 3 rockets, and an earth shaker. I never got the light hoboglobins to soak up some rounds.
