DWARFS OF CHAOS WARHAMMER

Foreward
Many years ago, I tinkered around with idea of designing an
updated Chaos Dwarf army list simply for the fun of it. Why
is that, you say? Well you see, when I started playing with toy
soldiers back in the late ‘80s, it was common practice – and highly
encouraged – to invent rules for your own monsters, regiments
or whatever for use in your miniatures wargaming. It was even
expected that if you and your friends were unhappy with how a
particular rule worked, you would simply change it into something
you fancied. Such creativity and much wackiness made for many
fun and memorial games. In fact while writing this forward, I’m
reminded of a game of Warhammer 40K I played where I had an
invisible Genestealer Patriarch (that would be a Broodlord to the
newbies) running around the battlefield!
The PDF file you are now holding in your hands – or reading
from a computer monitor – all started in a bar, or so I’m told. At
the 2009 Colonial Indy Grand Tournament, I was playing in an
exceptionally enjoyable “Character Bash” event while the infamous
Matt Birdoff was chugging down a score of cold beers with a few of
the best Indy GT event organizers around. According to Matt, he
had tricked, er, I mean, convinced the drunks to allow yours truly
to write up a revamped Chaos Dwarf army list and allow its use in
their tournaments! How exciting indeed!
It’s 1:09 A.M. I think I’m done now.
And so it was, Matt and I set off to create the Unofficial Indy GT
Dwarfs of Chaos Army Book. This book has been a tremendous
challenge. At one point this project nearly collapsed upon itself,
though through compromise and dedication, the project endured
and what you have before you is a mighty tome of laborious passion.
We hope that Warhammer players will enjoy using these unofficial
rules in their games and offer other Grand Tournament organizers a
fun, new option for their tournaments.
Finally, I’d like to give a very big and special “thank you” to all the
enthusiastic players that have either contributed to or supported
this project and to everyone that has ever had an idea, comment or
opinion about it!

HOW THIS BOOK IS INTENDED TO BE USED
This army list is completely unofficial and not endorsed or sanctioned by Games Workshop. This is for all intents and purposes a
“fan-made army list”. That being said, the creation of this book was designed to be used in Independent Grand Tournaments and
other such events across the world. By no means do we expect this list to be forced onto players; it is merely a new option for event
organizers and players to include in their games of Warhammer, whether it be tournaments, campaigns, casual play or whatever.
Ultimately, this unofficial rules supplement is meant to increase interest and fun for all players involved in our gaming hobby.
