My GW manager has recently had the privilege of taking a look at the new chaos book, and of course, it is going to rock.
He told me he had gotten the chance to not only look at the new book, but he got to talk to Phil Kelly, who is writing the book.
Apparently there is a rather juicy bit of info about the Dawi-Zharr in the new book that is supposed to explain their connections to the chaos mortals (i.e., they are artificers for chaos in trade for slaves and etc.)
Also, and I know this has has been beaten to death already, but my manager actually asked Phil about the possibility of a new CD book coming out.
He said that there is potential for it to happen, and it probably would not happen till late 2009 if it did
He is keeping me up to date on these things
thanks !! that a nice piece of hope you gave us thanks Doodle
That is hopeful news bit I'm guessing 2010 would be the earliest. Many of us have heard all of the same things, it seems to be somewhat consistent with what each person hears.
Now whether not it will happen who knows, but lets keep hoping for it.
I can't wait for the new WoC book. At the very least we'll have some Hellcannons to look at.
About the same I heard from my old manager so it's very reliable info!
:
Phil Kelly was a guest and played at the Dutch Grand Tournament a couple of years back and did take interest in my third edition army. Dunno if he would remember it anymore but stated he hoped he would play against me! Sadly that didn't happen though...
Chaos Dwarfs are indeed popping up quite often in other books, let's just hope they don't become a "background race".
Good news again I think, I had thought we would be in there with regards to the hellcannons but another mention beyond that would be big indeed.

Exactly.

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.
GW certainly seem to be going out of their way to keep CD in the fluff at least, which I suppose is good news.
Hopefully being in the fluff eventually translates into an army book.
Woah... Late 2009..? Thats 2 years earlier than I'm expecting (worst case scenario)!
That would be awesome, even if it was early 2010.
Interesting that Phil was even prepared to give a vague idea of time. He already knows exactly when GW will work on WA:CD (assuming they do at all). GW should have a schedule all the way to the next edition of warhammer. Sure some armies may move a little, but overall they'll stay roughly in their slot.
Chaos Dwarfs is going to cost a lot, so the accountants will have factored this in for a while.
Yeah.
From what I was told, it is pretty much with every new army book that comes out, the potential grows greater. That is due to the fact that CD have been in most of the new books, and have been consistently included in the fluff many a time.
dang doodle you got everyone posting GREAT JOB!!!!
Thats great i hope some of are guys get a chance to help with the New book !!!!!!! (G W this is a hint)
and they check out are figures on this site so that they make a decent Chaos Dwarfs ( G W this is a hint to )
The consideration of what they look like is long over. Its a case of if at all (any look). basically we have to get behind whatever they look like because we will be lucky to get them.
they probly look like a dwarf doom slayer with a mask!!
but a up dated tall hat would rock !!!!!!!
Well the Hellcannon is definitely in, so there has to be some mention of them, unless they're claiming the crew is made up of midget Chaos Warriors.
I've heard of a few people flashing around copies of the book so there must be a few out there.
wow!! That will be something to see hell cannon as a single rare choise
that would be a good rumor!
I'm 99% sure it's confirmed, not just a rumour. Pretty much everything in the book has been posted on the internet now.
Filipiscusius: They are still legal, just most tournaments don't allow them (I think mostly due to rules descrepencies).
It's good news to hear we'e mentioned again. People will certainly know about Chaos Dwarfs by the time we come out (hoping we do). In fact, it's a clever form of stirring up interest and advertising us... We're mentioned in almost every book, which is quite awesome
I'm surprised to hear 2009 as that's been said since, at the latest starting point, 2004! Althought 2010-2012 has also been bandied about...
Still, About a year away? I remain hopeful
Cautiously though...
