CDO Forums

Well, the rumours continue to drift around of CD getting some love in 2009.
I'm wondering what the implications would be if it turned out to be a White Dwarf army list.  Would GW even bother to release new miniatures to support it?  I'm assuming not as I can't remember them ever doing this before, at least not on a large scale.

Then of course there are the playtesting issues.

Back in 4th/5th ed. all the Cd had was the White Dwarf list.  I mean our army book was simply the articles all "attractively" bound all together.  At this stage, any love is good love...

As for other lists that have been WD only only a few have had models released recently.  I'm specifically thinking of the Kislev range being re-released and the introduction of Tsar Bohka, the Kossars and the Boyar on foot, and also the Cult of Ulric army with the Warrior Priest of Ulric and later the Teutogen Guard.  Much like our beloved CDs, sales just didn't warrant keeping them in the current sales range.

Of course, just like the way I got suckered into getting CDs, I also have a Kislev contingent and not one but 2 Cult of Ulric armies (one made out of '85 pattern Norse, and the other more "modern").

If we did get a WD List, it would definitely signal the end of using Chaos Dwarfs in the GT (not that I mind though). Blood Angels are useable so they might be some hope.

And the White Dwarf in question wouldn't cost as much as an army book. But the latter would still be nice.

Pfh. Last Games Day I asked Games Dev about it and I got laughed off.

We do have T5 Heros - the Bull Centaur Hero! Besides, Ld10 is much nicer than a high toughness. A high toughness would benefit one model only where as a high Leadership can benefit everyone.

I wasn't even dreaming about popping your bubble, minty man. Sorry if it came across that way. *tips hat*
It is most likely just bad luck on my part. Perhaps wearing a big hat there was a bad idea.

Thanks Minty, reading your post made my day.
(do you work at GW or something?)

Uhhhhh.... What?

I agree wit hUzkul that Fire is really just the same. Besides thats not really something that we need (the Lava Magic I mean) But we do need more magic items I very much agree. Not to sure I f I think banners are the most important but never mind that. We do in any case need magic items.

Yes, magic items are certainly the most compelling reason for a new list.  It is absurd that a Dwarven army has less magical items than any other playable army in the Warhammer world.

In my mind it is still absurd that Dwarves (normal ones I mean) can get for 125 pts magic items on their Nobles and 150 on the Runelord...
That does in no way make sense when compared to armies like HE, who granted, do get some items at a reduced price but lets face it reduced price cant compare with more points to buy for.

And at least one in every RoR.

Lore of Hashut is far more suitable than "Lava Magic".  Certainly not a requirement, there are far more important things.  I could cherry-pick spells from the 4 lores we currently get and come up with a decent Lore of Hashut anyway.

The problem with a list in White Dwarf is that we could be left with unofficial status and still no new models.  The next best thing is a Kislev-style situation: Official and models but still not a full army.  As long as the list doesn't wipe out our options and is declared as a get-you-by list rather than an unofficial fun list, I can only see positives.

Yes, I agree.
And lets be honest, if they do release a full line of new CDs most of us are going to be selling our kidneys just to get as many as we can

Im not unless they are bighats! Im a Bighatter all the way!!! Huzzah!

Don't think of them as CD without big hats, think of them as CDs waiting to be converted to have big hats.

Ahhh.... So very true Btw I wonder why the 2 of us are sitting up at 3 in the morning (if youre central european at least) writing by ourselves... Boy are we some geeks
