Who are the Chaos Dwarves?, A little bit of information

[Traitor King]

I thought I'd make this little thread as it might be quite usful.

Chaos Dwarves originally appeared in the 3rd edition, with rules for a few units found in one of the chaos books of the time 'Slaves to Darkness'.

In the 4th edition, they were upgraded to be a full army in their own right. They had a full minatures range but nevwer actully had their own army book. they had a small book made up of several White Dwarf articles. This was called 'White Dwarf Presents: Chaos Dwarves'.

Popularity of them eventully declined, and the models stopped being stocked in GW stores. It was thought GW would get rid of them, but then they had an armylist in 'Ravening Hordes'. This book contained lsits for all the armies without actully army books, such as tomb kings.

The Ravenging hordes list is still the list players use, and whilst it is official, it is often not allowed in Grand Tournemants. the list can be downlaoded in PDF format from Here.

Some of the old minatures range is still availible for purchase off the Games Workshop Online Store.

Soon, I will also make a similar thread, describing the background of the army.

Oh no! Double post!

I forgot to mention That during the storm of chaos, a new model was released as part of the Hordes of Chaos range. Yup, you guessed it, the hellcannon.
This deamonic warmachine was crewed by chaos dwarves. The model also came with 3 CD crew.
Not only does this serve as evidences that GW dont want to eliminate CDs from the game, the mdoels where also in a new style. They didnt have the infamous Big Hats or even old minature chaos warrior helmets. They had new 'skully masks'. This has let to many people converting armies to have entire armies with masks.
One of the big debates ni the chaos dwarf comunity is that if/when Games Wrokshop release a new book, will they have hats, masks or helms?

Someone somewhere thought that since they stated the stats in the rulebook, they'll probably make a book. I think the Chaos Dwarves are so cool. what do you think bout the book though traitorking?
