Nice, really gives more hope for us! I actually don't mind waiting for 2009. Nice to know anyway that they aren't completely shuttin' us out since there actually is something about CD in the book. Thanks for the info!
AFAIAA, the studio work around 6-9 months in advance of reality, to allow the factories to produce the models and such, so late 2009 would see them working on it this spring...
Phil Kelly said tehre would mentions of the Chaos Dwarfs in the new army books. This is a decent bit of information although I wish the CD's were more than just artisans. Shoot going by that, Dwarves would only be artisans for the Human armies.. So, at least that's a nod that they exist.
yay they've been in so many army book's that GW must be thinking about them a little
when thinking of chaos dwarves, little is definately the first thing that comes to mind to me.. lol.. stunty = short = little ..
Chaos Dwarfs are indeed popping up quite often in other books, let's just hope they don't become a "background race".
they are a background race currently, it can't get any worse than it is now.. I mean we are still a legal army list from 5th edition, so, that's still a positive..
but I agree, I hope it doesn't just end with "fluff stories of the stunties"

It can get worse than it is now. At least we have the Ravening Hordes list. A new incompatible edition of Warhammer would be far worse.
the only way for it to be worse is to have the Ravening Hordes list considered to be defunct. And I actually stated the same thing above. I must not have been clear.
What I mean is that Cd's have an army list and the models are easily created if not able to be purchased. therefore, we aren't any worse off now than we were 6 years ago.. When 6th edition hit the shelves with ravening hordes.. however, we are getting mentions and I think that it's a step (albeit a very small step) in the right direction.
@two_heads: I do think that list is considered illegal. The list has been removed from their webpage and is no longer considered tournament legal. The only way for it to get worse is that they are removed from fluff! But still, as you say, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
I'm happy as long as they keep the giant hats.

I'd love that too, but many people like masks/helms too so I hope they make multiple head options. It would be also nice if there were some new CD unit types in the WoC book's stories. So that we could start converting some new minis based on them 
Even though I consider myself a hat fan, and absolutely love them... I'd be happy to have a new book and be brought back into the fold again regardless of how GW falls on hats/helms/masks/options via bits issue. As considering most of us have converted armies, having actual Chaos Dwarf figures again would be great... and how easy would it be to convert up big hats if we really wanted them?
I want Chaos Dwarfs back, with a sweet book, and healthy/fun/competitive rules. Honestly I think that's what is best in the long run... new figures is a very sweet ever so juicy bonus. Aesthetic issues can be fixed more easily then rules ones!
The mention in the Warriors book I hear tell is all centered around the chaos armour, weapons and that they can now take a hellcannon as a single rare choice instead of taking two slots.
This is rumor, BTW, so may not be accurate.
i kinda hope the cd are diffrent a newer look, so that the raping prises of cd will go down
as a masses sell off would begain!!!
