Hi all,

I've recently been beat into submission to playing WHFB (current 40k player) and after much deliberation settled for Chaos Dwarfs.

So, I would very much like some advice on the proposed list and I would very much like some help on where I could invest the remaining 35 points (was thinking about sticking a champion in both the Infernal Guard units)?

As far as tactics go, I don't know the Fantasy mechanics all too well (read the rules and watched a couple of turns of a friends game) but the general intent is to use the speed of the three large units (Lord on the Bull, Destroyer and Iron Daemon) to just get in the face of the opponent while my Dwarfs foot slog across. Use the speed of the Lord to knock out Warmachines and the like while the Destroyer uses its beefy stat line to take out the big blocks of infantry.

Thanks in advance for your time

you need a full command on those infernal guard units, i wouldnt bother with black hammer on the lord, his standard weapon is usually fine, get him a healing potion, and the law of fire is best when on a bale taurus. id drop the iron demon, theres so much they are just terrible against, they litterally cant do anything, so that would free up the points to have full commands on the units, a mask of furnace+shield on the bsb to make him very hard to kill. a dispel scroll on the demonsmith. all that should leave you with about 200pts roughly. id suggest either a couple of khans on wolves as distractors, a tooled up combat castallen for the second unit of infernals, or a small unit of infernals with fireglaives for protecting a flank, personally the tooled up combat castallen is probably the best option, 2 stubborn anvils that way

I'll probably go for the Castellan or the Fireglaive units, will be keeping the list Gobbo free (for aesthetic reasons more than anything else, I appreciate I may lose out by this but just not a fan of them!) I was dubious about the ID myself but in the end went for it with the idea of having another beefy, hard to kill unit to compliment the Lord and the Destroyer but you aren't the first to recommend against it so it may have to go

Thanks Bildo.
