hi CDO! I’m Dwarzir, very new to Chaos Dwarfs and just soaking up all kinds of lore and lists and miniature options thanks to this great resource. My local group is a hardcore 8th ed WFB group, and so I 'm just making a decision now on whether to build my 2k starter list using the Tamurkhan list/points or the WAP 8th ed book (suggestions welcome!).
I’ve only been painting and playing warhammer for the last 1.5yrs, got into it all through friends and have fallen hard. I roll a 9k+ lizardmen army, almost completely GW models, a 6k or so Kislev mildly grimdark army using the 8th ed WAP book, and a very grimdark homebrew Fimir army which is my current work in progress. I’m on instagram as ilikeoldbooksandpaints
As I get deeper into GW history and lore, I’m so intrigued by the more whimsical side of WFB in early editions and early sculpts and have fallen in love with the modern resculpts and inspired sculpts of Fabelzel, Brawniac and others, and I’m planning on going in that direction with my army for 3D prints.
The basic lore I’m playing with is 3 childhood friends from the Vale of Woe who grew up taking care of a local giant and have now matured into a sorcerer prophet, a warrior and a demonsmith who all have their own motives, but also jointly are bonded by their lovel of their dear giant. my sorcerer is driven by the desire to tame a lammasu, my demonsmith wants to add to his collection of war machines (currently a malfunctioning magma cannon and a more reliable deathshreiker) and my warrior wants to expand his influence and bring a hobgoblin horde under his thrall.
more anon, thanks for being so awesome!
