Hello everyone! It seems forever since I last posted an army list for Fantasy and will admit part of me is quite excited to do so! My FLGS just announced an Escalation League for the upcoming new year and I have decided to build an army of Chaos Dwarves for a few reasons, mainly because I would be the ONLY known Chaos Dwarf player in the area and the fact I could make use of the awesome Forgeworld models. Also if anyone were to object to me using them in a game I could easily run them as Dwarves, allowing me to double dip in a sense with one army. The Escalation League (as of now and it may be updated) is that we will start at 1500pts. so all armies can take units since some armies have much more expensive units then others. Please let me know what you guys think and thanks for reading!

-x24 Infernal Guard
*w/ Blunderbusses, Musician, Standard Bearer

SPECIAL:

-Deathshrieker Rocket

RARE:

-K'daai Destroyer

TOTAL ARMY: 1499 POINTS

Tactics:

-Daemonsmith Sorcerer with Lore of Hashut camps in one of the Infernal Guard Bunkers (or) sits with the Deathshrieker Launcher as he gets lookout sir and can make sure it does not misfire.

-x2 units of x24 Infernal Guard with Blunderbusses to either advance and blast people at point blank range or to sit back and do the same, always have run Blunderbusses to great effect and it often is a phsycological weapon in their heads and forces long charges.

-x1 Deathshrieker Launcher for long range fire support with target opportunity for both monsters, warmachines and infantry.

-x1 K'daai Destroyer to go crazy and attack everything and anything it can

You cant take Hashut on your LVL2, only the lord can. i have never had luck buth blunderbusses, I tend to run sword and board with the razor standard and let the monsters and cannons do all the heavy lifting.

I like blunderbusses personally. I would swap the LvL 2 to lore of fire, drop the second unit of blunderbusses, add some bull centaurs to aid your destroyer and get a castellan bsb. Your destroyer will not last long if he doesn't have any support. Many run hobgobbo khans on wolf to use as redirectors and help keep charge lanes clear for destroyers. I would suggest looking at this, or at BCs. You could do a 50 pt Khan, 3 BCs with shield for 145, and still have points for a BSB. your bsb doesn't need to be decked out at this point anyways, though i would consider taking a pistol for a little shooting and extra CC attack.

Just some thoughts. Main thing though is that your destroyer is a bad bad dude, but when your opponent can freely overwhelm him with flank charges you may find that you wish you had given him more support. Once your destroyer is toast with this list, its going to be a long grind it out slugfest with your Blunderbuss units which you will likely lose. Makes for a boring game.
