    Icon7 I was just browsing...

    Forgeworld and I came across these....

    Looks like they're working on a Forgeworld release of Chaos Dwarves, they do look good though I can't say whether they'll be official aka Tournament useable.

    One thing for sure is they'd be an amazing addition to CoW if they 'could' be done...

    They would be a very nice faction to play.

    With all respect to the creators of CoW it was very short-sighted to use up 5 factions for Chaos, when one was sufficient. In the future this can be fixed, leaving place to widening the world of CoW.

    I don't find it to be "short-sighted." I like it, to be honest. The hordes of Chaos were never really "united," although it is true they would join together under the leadership of a Champion (much like the Orcs and their Warbosses, only much more dangerous) and I love fighting as different Chaos factions against the other gods. And seeing how this campaign is only covering the Old World in the time of the Storm of Chaos, it is a good choice in my opinion.

    Well the problem I have with this is that the Gods would not have the manpower to field huge "human" armies of chosen troops, rather it is the Daemons that do the fighting. Once united these humans band together, some giving their allegiance to a God.

    In the lore chosen troops (=anyone carrying the "mark") of a God are much more rare and make up only the elite forces of a campaign, rather than a standing army. Thus a undivided army would consist of a core supported by elite units of troops dedicated to any god.

    While I agree that the four factions are sufficient for vanilla CoW, they are still unecessary in any future expansion.

    Fighting against the other chaos factions is a key part of the chaos campaign IMO, and having the variations of all the different gods makes it really interesting

    Part of the reason why I started the thread is because the devs have added Chaos Dwarves in the Beta for 1.5, none of these are in it from what I've seen, sorry to disappoint...

    Definitely 4 chaos factions are better than one (though understanding
    the better practicalities of having one, 4 is still better overall) & indeed noticed
    these Dwarves a while ago along with the Iron Daemon, though I don't
    think the devs like to acknowledge newer additions to the Warhammer world
    but that's fine & that's not saying they wouldn't add them, would be lovely
    indeed if they did :p

    Those fireglaives... I assume they are flamethrowers? *chaos dwarves = new fav faction once they become one*

    It says in the experimental rules (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Download...rnal-Guard.pdf) that the Fireglaive is a heavily constructed repeating handgun, the blade allows it to be wielded like a halberd...
