What about dogs of war?They should consider balancing the army books a bit before going through revamps of the old ones.

So you are saying that Dogs and Chaos Dwarf players shouldn't be allowed to play until GW get around the fixing the big 3.5?

I ask you this:  Who was it that was the front man for this idea?  What happened on page 20 or so of that thread?  Where is that man now?

Exactly.

I don't think there are any chaos dwarf or dogs of war player who play exclusively (fucked up on grammar?) those two armies.At least not anymore.Just saying that game balance is importand at the moment.

I think GW's game designers have clearly stated that they do not consider game balance to be an issue.

Indeed, and even if they would consider it an issue, the Top brass would tell them to shut up and ensure they sell more minis!  :icon_mrgreen:

I play Dogs much more than my Empire army. (And my Empire does not include Waltars, Steam tanks or feck loads of Knights)

Yeah, but could you really call that Rumor Info?

We had everything from Chaos Dwarves and Dogs of War to Space Zoats with flame breathing Manatees.

I didn't really buy any of it, because once it gets in the open forum then someone says something that would be cool and it spirals into truth somehow.  I just thought Harry at Warseer had also heard some murmurs and he seems to have the ear of some GW insiders or something, from what I've heard.  So whilst the rumors here may have been far fetched, I didn't think that this was the only forum that had sources.

But I take it the Rumor died, DoW were not updated, nore Chaos Dwarves. Since they have been left alone, I don't see Cathay or Space Zoats joining the mix.

Yes, it died.  I thought there was supposed to be a big announcement at one of the Games Day events and it turned into 'we want to eventually at some point rework Chaos Dwarfs, we just don't know when.'

I'm "okay" with chaos dwarves, but I would of liked to see DoW updated first, to me they are more interesting... No offense to any big hat players.

Yeah, agreed, I love the DoW idea, fluff, whatever you wanna call it. Chaos Dwarves can wait in my opinion!

But there is already 2 human armies, 3 if you include Chaos Marauders  :icon_razz: but only one dwarf race...

So dwarfs are a little short on the representation...

Plus Chaos Dwarfs rock!

Yeah but you gotta agree. Their hats look completely retarded.

And there are more Humans in the world, and Humans are awesome and Dwarfs aren't.

Dwarfs are actually really cool as a race, they've just been hit with the bland stick.  Something the Chaosy type don't really have.  It would be interesting to see if they'd redo the big hats into something a little more 'now'.  A lot of the old models across the range look ridiculous in some variety.
