So the upcoming CDO meetup 2022 will be the first time I’ll actually use the WHFB 8th Edition “Chaos Dwarf” army list by the Warhammer Armies Project. While reading through it and add it to my BattleScribe, some questions came up and I thought I ask how you guys handle these or how we should treat those at the retreat. The 9th edition army list seems to have addressed some of those already. This would also be the place where we could make changes to the list, e.g. add the “small” Bull Centaurs.
Altar of Hashut
How do the mechanics work here? Can the Altar be targeted/destroyed separately and the Daemonsmith just needs to be in 3" to use it (similar to his Infernal Engineer rule) or is the Altar more like a mount, akin to the Anvil of Doom? Does the 4+ Ward Save only apply to the Altar or to the Daemonsmith as well? In the 9th edition it seems to work exactly like the Anvil.
Blazing Body
We have two different versions of the special rule in the army list (K’Daai vs Taurus). The Taurus has the Blazing Body rule from the LoA army list (as written in Tamurkhan, not the FAQ-version), the K’Daai have their own version. In 9th ed. they both have the one the K’Daai have in 8th. I have no problem handling it all like this, just wanted to bring it up.
