ARMY SPECIAL RULES
All Chaos Dwarfs are Relentless. (Never march blocked)
All Chaos Dwarfs are Resolute. (Always Flee and Pursue 2D6"-1)
All Chaos Dwarfs hold a grudge against the Dawi, who they feel abandoned them to their fate. All Chaos Dwarfs Hate all Dwarf units of any type that are not Chaos Dwarf units.
All Chaos Dwarfs Ignore Greenskin Panic (which includes Black Orcs and Hobgoblins).
Disciples of Hashut- Chaos Dwarf Characters and units with this Special Rule are Stubborn, their bull-headed nature enhanced by the will of The Father of Darkness.
Spirit of the Bull- The Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaurs who have guarded the Temple of Hashut for centuries will charge anyone who dares venture too close. They have Frenzy.
Rage of the Taurus - Select few Chaos Dwarfs are able to bend this great beast to their will. To claim dominion over a truly stubborn and hateful creature, they unleash a fury that earns the respect of even the mighty Great Taurus.
Chaos Dwarf Characters with this special rule Hate Everyone.
Cowardly but Cunning - If Sneaky Gits choose "Flee!" as a Charge Reaction and are not caught by the enemy, they automatically rally at the beginning of their next Start of the Turn Phase and may even declare a charge against the enemy they have lured in during their Movement Phase (but are subject to an Animosity Test first during that Start of the Turn phase as well!).
Animosity - All Hobgoblin units follow the same Animosity rules that are listed in the Orcs & Goblins Army Book, with the following exception: A Black Orc Slave Captain or Black Orc Slave Commander embedded in a Hobgoblin unit does not cause them to re-roll a 1 Result. Instead, a Captain simply inflicts D3 wounds to restore order. A Commander inflicts D6. The unit can then move as normal and Declare Charges during the Movement Phase.
Quell Animosity - All Black Orc units and Characters Quell Animosity as normal in all other situations and Ignore Greenskin Panic (which includes Black Orcs and Hobgoblins).
Black Orc Characters do not take up a 2nd Hero slot.
Undesirables - Black Orc Characters and Regiments, Hobgoblin Khans, Hobgoblin Slaves, Hobgoblin Wolf Riderz, and Ogres are prohibited from benefitting from the General's Leadership. They may still benefit from the Leadership of embedded Characters as normal.
Dwarf Handguns - When shooting, Dwarf Handguns are +1 To Hit.
Dwarf Blunderbusses - These use the rules for Blunderbusses described in the 2004 Book.

Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaurs have The Spirit of The Bull. They have Frenzy. They also have Bull Charge from the Ogre Kingdom Book. Only a Bull Centaur Lord may join these units. They start with Hand Weapons and Heavy Armour. They can purchase Additional Hand Weapons, Shields, Chaos Armour, and Great Weapons. (They are technically not cavalry, so their Armour Save starts at 5+ but they use Weapons as if they are on foot- for example they could benefit from a Hand Weapon & Shield combo. If they equip Chaos Armour and use the Hand Weapon & Shield combo their Armour Save becomes a 2+ in Close Combat). One Bull Centaur unit in the Army may be upgraded to Disciples of Hashut for +35 Points. An upgraded unit may have their Standard Bearer carry a Magic Standard worth up to 50 Points.

Dogs of War selections from the Ogre Kingdoms take Special slots instead of Rare slots.
RARE
Great Taurus ------ M6 WS5 BS0 S6 T5 W4 I3 A4 LD6
Hellspout Flamethrower Teams ------ M3 WS3 BS4 S3 T4 W2 I1 A2 LD9
Black Orcs (0-1) ------ M4 WS4 BS3 S4 T4 W1 I2 A1 LD8
Earthshaker Mortar
Hellcannon
Hellspout Flamethrower Teams have a unit size of 1-3 50mm models. 2 Wounds per model (all or nothing, there is no "half speed/every other turn" for taking a wound). Only a Daemonsmith using the Lore of Fire may join this unit. Flamethrower: Range- 15". Declare a Target and roll an artillery Die for each Flamethrower Team. This is how many hits the enemy unit takes. (Strength 4, Flaming Attacks, -2 to the Armour Save). On a Misfire the Flamethrower team takes a Wound. Re-roll the unit's first Misfire per shooting phase if the unit is accompanied by a Daemonsmith. They wear Chaos Armour and they use Hand Weapons in Close Combat.
The Great Taurus can Fly, but rather than Fly 20" its maximum flight range is 16". It is Stubborn. It is a Large Target, Causes Terror, and has a S2 Breath Weapon. It is Immune to Flaming Attacks. It causes D3 Impact Hits. It has a 4+ Armour Save.
Black Orcs use the exact same rules they do in the Greenskins Army Book, except their maximum unit size is capped at 25 to ensure loyalty. The Black Orc Regiment may have the Standard Bearer purchase a Magic Standard worth up to 50 Points.
All non-Ogre Dogs of War selections take Rare slots. [The books usually name two units that an Army likes to take (although one listed in the Greenskins book might have never existed?) so we would suggest units like Oglah Khan's Wolf Boyz and Ruglud's Armoured Orcs on this page probably.]
You could run a 2.5K Army with this List that: utilizes only CD models and 0 Slave models, and has no units that are exactly alike (Any Lord, 3 CD Heroes, Warriors, Warriors upgraded to Disciples of Hashut, and Blunderbusses as your 3 Core, Bull Centaurs, Infernal Guard, Rocket Launcher, and Magma Cannon as your 4 Special, and Flamethrowers with a Hellcannon or an Earthshaker Mortar as your 2 Rare). It still allows for slaves/monsters if you like that part of the lore but they can truly stand alone as a Chaos Dwarf army.

... In the back of the book...
HASHUT'S CHOSEN LIST VARIANT
CHARACTERS: The General would be a Named Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur Lord who Causes Terror. Sorcerers use The Lore of Beasts [unless there is a Lore of Hashut?]. Other Characters as normal.
CORE: Infernal Guard and Bull Centaurs move from Special to Core. Any number of Chaos Dwarf Warriors can be Disciples of Hashut. They lose their 1+ requirement, instead it is transferred to the Bull Centaurs. Hobgoblin Slaves as normal.
SPECIAL: Blunderbusses and Hobgoblin Wolf Riderz move to Special. Other Special as normal.
RARE: Hellcannon and Flamethrowers are dropped from Rare to make room for a Doom Bull and a Great Taurus. Black Orc Regiment Removed (but Slave Captains and Slave Commanders remain in the Character slots)
THE "BEFORE THE GREENSKIN UPRISING" LIST VARIANT
CHARACTERS: Chaos Dwarf Daemonsmiths and Bull Centaur Lords are removed to make room for an Orc Big Boss Hero and a Black Orc Lord (occupies a Hero slot as well)
CORE: Orc Boyz and Arrer Boyz (No Savage Orcs, No Big Uns). Chaos Dwarf Warriors are still Core and still retain their 1+ requirement but Blunderbusses move to Rare. Hobgoblin Slaves and Wolf Riderz as normal.
SPECIAL: We shift Black Orcs from Rare to Special but keep their (0-1) restriction. Chaos Trolls are added to the Special choices. Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaurs are moved to Rare. Infernal Guard are removed entirely. The Special War Machines are unchanged.
RARE: Hellcannon, Earthshaker Mortar, and Famethrowers are removed from Rare to make room for a Hobgoblin Doom Diver Catapult, a Slave Giant, the Blunderbusses, and the Bull Centaurs.
THE GREAT HORDES OF THE HOBGOBLA KHAN LIST VARIANT
CHARACTERS: Chaos Dwarf Characters and units are removed entirely, including Black Orcs, CD War Machines and K'Daii?
This List would add Hobgoblin Lords and Hobgoblin Shamans in Character slots. Shamans use the Lore of the Little Waaagh
CORE: We still have Hobgoblin Infantry and Hobgoblin Wolf Cavalry, and lets also add some Hobsnotling Swarms (0-1)
SPECIAL: Chaos Trolls and a Hobgoblin Wolf Chariot to join the Sneaky Gits. Oglah Khan's Wolf Boyz can be taken in Special instead of Rare, as well as Ogre Kingdom Dogs of War selections.
RARE: Scary Monster (0-1)***, a Hobgoblin Doom Diver Catapult and a Slave Giant.
*** The Hobgoblin player can choose any one (but ONLY one) of the following to include in the Army: A Wyvern, A Hydra, or a Manticore. All Scary Monsters have the following rules: Large Target, Cause Terror, Chained Up. The Scary Monsters are prodded into the direction of the enemy by a team of 5 Hobgoblins, whose rules are similar to Skink Handlers in Salamander Hunting Packs. Chained Up means The Monster and Prodders do not Fly but move along the ground at the Prodders' speed in a skirmishing pack. Each Close Combat Phase, if the Monster is not fighting an enemy, roll a D6. On a roll of 1, D3 Hobgoblins are killed by the Scary Monster. If all the Hobgoblin Prodders have been slain for any reason, the Monster takes a Monster Reaction Test at the end of the phase.
SPECIAL SCENARIO
The special Scenario I envision in the back of the CD Book would be a battle that represents the Greenskin Uprising when they revolted against their Dwarf Masters, only to be betrayed in the 11th hour by the treacherous Hobgoblins.
