So I am up for my first 2500p match and it will be against Skaven.
I am thinking of bringing this list as I just finished painting my Prophet on Bale Taurus and this is the first time we play a game with points enough to support him.
25% lords and heros
Chaos Dwarfs
Sorcerer-Prophet: Level 4 Wizard; Lore of Hashut; Bale Taurus; Talisman of Preservation; Enchanted Shield 605
Infernal Castellan: fireglaive; Battle Standard; The Mask of the Furnace 210
Hobgoblin Khan: light armour; spear; Giant Wolf 58
Hobgoblin Khan: light armour; spear; Giant Wolf 58
Daemonsmith Sorcerer: Lore of Death; Dispel Scroll; Charmed Shield 125
19 Chaos Dwarf Infernal Guard: Deathmask; musician; standard bearer (Banner of Eternal Flame); fireglaives 365
26 Chaos Dwarf Infernal Guard: Deathmask; musician; standard bearer 344
20 Hobgoblin Cutthroats: musician; bows 104
Magma Cannon 145
Magma Cannon 145
6 K'daai Fireborn: K'daai Manburner 340
2 499 points

At this point I think you're pretty much our resident Chaos Dwarf expert! We're looking to you to advise us  |

Just wondering about the eternal flame banner on the infernal guard? You already have lots of flaming and Fireglaives have flaming for shooting.
Is it for HPA's?
Overall though I like the list. The blazing body rule works great against all skaven infantry.
I'm hoping your Bale Taurus Prophet does great things.
Good luck!

To be honest its the last 11 points and I did not know what to spend them on. |

I would exchange the enchanted shield and the charming shield between the sorcerer prophet and the deamonsmith. The sorcerer prophet is much more likely to be shot by his warplightning canons and a 2+ armor is good enough against most skaven cc units.

kroak, I am torn about it. As the model has a 4+ ward anyway. And that extra piece of AS works great on 2,4,6 and even 8 in A WLC. The only time it doesn't matter is if they roll a 10. And the monster is not affected by it anyway  You might still be right though.

I mean you look very light on the ground in terms of bodies to me. Chaos Dwarfs are really expensive but you look a little character heavy, maybe try and up your bodies to 30 each

The fireglaives are stubborn (castellan goes here)so no need to be more than 20. But would love a 30 unit horde formation! One day... But yes it's not that opted when you play Taurus. |

I just think against skaven you may find your characters fighting solo through attrition from magic and shooting. You could always downgrade to a great Taurus or save a few points here and there. I look forward to a battle report either way! Hoping to have my chaos dwarfs fieldable in the next year! |
