Hello

I'm gonne start playing whf whit warriors of chaos.
But i'm looking for a second army whas thinking about dwarfs are they different of playing style?
Are they more ranged then the woc army. Open for other armys 2.

Well, to be blunt with you, pretty much EVERY army has more ranged ability than WOC. WOC is probably the least shooty army in WHFB.

Dwarves are generally very defensive in style. While with Chaos, you'll be taking the fight to the enemy, as Dwarves, you'll more likely be setting up and taking the hits and holding while your guns and cannons pound away at the foe.

Ok thats what im looking for 2 ery diferent playing armys.

I know woc whas very agrassive playing style but i love to play sometimes def also so i don't get bored whit 1 army to fast.

And ofc i love dwarfs

if you want TOTAL different play style to woc... play wood elves...

Agreed, WoC and Wood Elves are about as polar opposite as armies get.

I have to agree with all of the above.
You can get some shooting in the woc army like the hellcannon and one or two gifts let you do stuff in the shooting phase... YAY!!!!

But ya WE they are the opposite of woc.
Why not go skaven?
I mean you go from being an army of haha we are better than you armor clad warriors to..... rats. Lots of em they aint good at much but since there are more of them then you they do stuff.

No elfs for me

Skaven mm didn't think about them yet, whats there play style ?

I think the best advice really if you wanted to decide on the army before playing it first hand would be to go and take a look at the battle reports. There's a lot in there from which you will really see how these armies play in practice beyond theory.

Ok ty good tip

Found out that skaven got some ranged like

Warp Lightning Cannon/ Plagueclaw Catapult
Skaven Warplock Jezzails - Finecast
Skaven Warp-Grinder Weapon Team
Skaven Ratling Gun
Skaven Warpfire Thrower

So thats looks cool alrdy

Also, if fluff is important to you, you may want to read up on some of that. I, like you OP, did the same thing when I started WHFB. Dwarfs were my obvious first choice and I wanted to play a polar opposite army - so I chose DE. But even after a half year or so of playing them, I just couldn't get past the fact I had absolutely no liking or interest of their fluff (just something about cold-blooded sadistic murdering enslaving thieves I couldn't relate to). So they went bye-bye!
