Chaos Dwarves at a GT

Hey guys,

 

I have something that I wanted to discuss with the club. Ive seen a few Chaos Dwarf armies at the Grand Tournaments that I have attended over the past year-year and a half, all of them were using the "Indy GT Chaos Dwarf Book". I have yet to play against that book but know that some of you have. What is everyone stance on allowing the Chaos Dwarf Forgeworld book and the Chaos Dwarf Indy GT book to be playable/usable in the Unplugged GT?

 

Heres my thoughts:

  • While Chaos Dwarf players are few and far between, they do exist and there are a few in our area who I beleive are interested in attending our GT.
  • The ETC board has approved the Forgeworld book to be used in their event and have comped it along will all the other books.
  • I understand that none of us play Chaos Dwarves (yet) so we dont have alot of play time against/with them, I can safely say that there are other armies that I have barely played against and I am sure its the same with all of you. So I think the fact that no one really has alot of experience against them shouldnt really factor in for the simple reason that there are plenty of armies that each of us barely fight against.
  • By allowing either/or we open our GT to a few more people and add a little more variety to the GT. I think that is the biggest selling point, I want the Unplugged GT to be the best and variety is a great step to that.

Now heres a few things that I see could be a negative:

  • The fact that it will add another army to the list of armies that we need to comp for the GT.
  • We dont have a local Chaos Dwarf player to play against(yet), but Peyton owns the Forgeworld book so it wouldnt be to hard to run a proxy game to play things out.

Maybe I am a little one sided with this topic, but I just want the GT to be open to anyone who wants to come play. I think the fact that the other GT's in the area allow the Community Chaos Dwarf book should make it a little easier for us to allow it to be played.

 

I apologize for my spelling mistakes and grammar, im typing this at work while trying to tackle 1,000 other things.

I'll have to steal Peytons book and give it a thorough reading.  I'm not comfortable allowing an army I can't officiate over.

You'll have to get it from Brian, someone may or may not be starting chaos dwarfs and I think that's where this discussion stems from 😉
Only problems I can see with running chaos dwarfs:
1)  It's not like the Indy GT list where you can have a link to the rules up on the site, you either need to shell out $80 for them or have someone in your club who owns the book (not every group has a fluff bunny like me), and these rules you will definitly want to read beforehand.  You DO NOT want to get charged by a kdai destroyer and then ask your opponent, "okay what does it do?"
2) Not all the models for the range have been released by forgeworld, and I dont want any bullshit proxies rocking up to the tournie (this goes for other armies but cd players may feel they have a good excuse).
3) A lot of individual rules in this book, which is an extra effort for everyone running the tournie to memorize or at least familiarize themselves with.
 
I don't mind including them, but I do feel like there are some things that need to be straightened out beforehand.

I am totally in favor of allowing the Forgeworld list. I've yet to play against the army, or even look at the army list, but I would love to be inclusive.

I'm all for allowing Tamurhkhan (sp?) and not the Indy GT book.  The guys who wrote the GT book don't support it anymore since there is an official option.  We've seen people fielding them and I say it'll make the people who play them that much happier and the people that have to play against them will deal with it.
