so here is my first thread, and list for chaos dwarfs here on this cool site! anyhoo here is the list:
This wil be the Army of Graarknarsh the Coldblooded a natural born leader capable of raising entire armies of greenskins at his will (although he prefers to use his own elite infantry instead) . . .
Graarknarsh the Coldblooded - 115
Chaos Dwarf Hero (i am assuming that he can only take 50pts of MA*)
Armour of the Furnace
Heavy Armour
Shield
Great Weapon
Bazrakk the Cruel Enslaver of Kadar - 139
Chaos Dwarf Hero
Battle Standard Bearer
Armour of Gazrakh
Gauntlets of Bazrakk the Cruel
Gazrakh the Menacing Engineer of Kharash - 115
Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer
2 Dispel Scrolls
24 Chaos Dwarf Warriors - 309 **
Full Command
Great Axes
23 Chaos Dwarf Warriors - 298 ***
Full Command
Great axes
2 x 5 Hobgoblin Wolf Riders -110 (great for march blocking he he)
2 Hobgoblin Bolt Throwers - 60

*i assume that chaos dwarfs only take 50pts of magic items right?
**Graarknarsh joins this unit
*** Bazrakk and Ghazrakh join this unit
**** an odd number due to the amount of points i had left
i quite like the list but is it any good? (btw i am not a fan of blunderbusses)
Thanks

Yup. Heros can take 50pts of Magic Items, with Lords taking 100pts.
Not a big BB fan, eh? Fair enough. Lets see if we can make a decent enough list without them. First thing is first - Hobgoblin Fast Cav have to be take in units of ten minimum. It sucks but that's RH for you. I would personally advice against giving the BSB the Gauntlets. They seem great but just watch them earn lots of Combat Res for your fore. Take the points from them and use ten points for a Musician on the Wolfboyz. As for the other ten ... maybe another Black Orc?
I would normally say no Great Weapons for the CD Warriors, unless you are very good at making Heavy Armour saves. The Warriors need their shield. But seeing as your list lacks any other real punch, I'd say try them with the GW. Keep 'em if they work. If not, drop them and use the points for some type of big, dirty cannon.
i see, well the wolf riders will now be in a unit of ten, i think i will swap the gauntlets for a sword of might, the reason i have taken great axes is so that if i charge i have something heavy to hit with instead of just a hero. but if i am charged this means i can elect to use my shield and thus limit casualties.

ok some legal and tactical changes
here i am again...
consider HA and enchanted shield for your general... same 2+ save... 72 points...
i'd drop the GWs on at least one of your CD units... probably both... CD warriors are always on the recieving end of charges...
ye gods! drop the bows on the wolf boyz... give them LA and shields... 4+ save fast cav... pocket the extra 10...
points saved could get you a unit of BBs a good next step in the pursuit of a 2K...
or a unit of orc boyz with shields... new choppas are gold...
I'm unclear as to why your general has heavy armour and armour of the furnace. Are you worried about magic items that destroy magical armour?
Even then, he couldn't have both suits of armour. You may only have one suit of armour, magical or otherwise as a normal person can only wear one.
Hi creepy, I'm about as experianced but I'm going to try and help
