Hollismason, that would be awesome if it was a midget


Chaos Dwarves are not a new race by any margin- rather GW has already been there, done that, decided they weren't worth the investment. And while its possible they changed thier mind, the mentality of GW seems like they regard themselves as infallible, and the dwarves are otherwise precluded by the leaked excitement of doing something new and never before done...

They wouldn't even have to be overtly a Chaos, they don't worship any of the major gods, and their armylist doesn't share all that many units with the other Chaos lists (going off memory, CD's could take Dragon Ogres). What I'd do would be to recast them more as an independent evil army.

With an emphasis on infernal machines like juggernauts, gargoyles (like the one in Heroquest... aah, happy memories) and golems. It would also give them an opportunity to shift more Hellcannons (knowing GW, they'd recast it in plastic and make it both a special and rare choice ).

Dragon Ogres? You sure you aren't thinking of Bull Centaurs?

Chaos Dwarfs had a lot of 'slave' units (and could even get a unit of Black Orcs too, I think) that would come from the O&G book, but they had a lot of unique stuff too. And their god was sort of a 5th Chaos God, I guess...

The 5th would be Malal.

And then there's the Horned Rat for a 6th (or 13th).

Newly-added would be the Great Maw of the Ogres.

And then add the CD as an 8th? OK, sure.

That would make more sense since the symbol of chaos is an 8-pointed star.

The Great Maw goes back to early WHFRP. The Chaos Dwarves worship Hashut. I remember once where the minor gods (Hashut, Great Maw, Horned Rat) were kind of combinations of the major gods. So for the Horned Rat you get a mish mash of Tzeentch and Nurgle, for Hashut Khorne and Tzeentch, Great Maw is Nurgle and Khorne, etc.

As the great Stone Ark doors opens the foul bloated form of Jervis will emerge atop the backs of the few female wargamers his bloated distended stomache writhing with the hidden masses of genetic creations that Gamesworkshop developed with price increases over the previous years.

His mass will be laid upon the beach and as he squats he will birth the first slayer of man the Genestealer from his elephantine quivering stretched anus signaling the end of all mankind.

The Horned Rat is aspects of Nurgle and Tzeentch not both fully. Khaine is Khorne and Slaanesh. Think of the big 4 as a Venn diagram and where they overlap you get the minor gods with attributes of both.

Malal sits outside this as he is the aspect of Chaos that hates Chaos. Maybe he's the part of the diagram where all four converge.

OK, I'm good with that, and would see Malal as outside the diagram in the same way that Human and Elven gods are outside.

Malal has been dropped from the modern fluff.

Partially owing to a legal dispute with the guys who wrote some of the early fluff for GW and copyright/pwnership.

Also GW dropped most of the "Gods of Law" and so on to furtehr separate them from Moorcock et al, and also as it's a dumb idea.

They throw little teases into their games every now and again-- the dreadaxe from the previous chaos codex for example and the recent heroes of the space marines book has the Sons of Malice doing some stuff that some people have taken as involving Malal in some form-- they use his sacred number and some of the terms they use are Malal..err... ian ?ite ? In origin. Possibly.

He wasn't mentioned at all in the ROC books. Weirdly the "new" chaos god they invent in the LatD gets a passing mention in the new Grey Seer novel ! there's even a reference to a "magnin" throwing knife too if your fluff lore goes back that far.
