Black_Templar_Lad Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Was just tuning into Val's stream. There's a rumour that Chaos Dwarves were originally slated for the Old World, but ended up looking too similar to the new designs proposed for AoS, so the Old World focus was scrapped and was shifted towards AoS for their plastic release. Bizarre business decisions if true, but good for AoS I suppose? (A disappointing basis for releases imo). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a concept art for TOW is too similar to AoS is not enough reason to cut down a faction from one game and move it to another. It just sounds like it has 0% credibility from a company artist processes creation POV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre business decisions if true, but good for AoS I suppose? (A disappointing basis for releases imo). I could see this being true *if* the Old World Chaos Dwarfs on the table was them bringing back the Forgeworld line, which would require a few new resin moulds because iirc two(?) of them broke. If GW was looking at putting out something like what came out of TWW for their plastics, there *would* be a lot of toe-stepping there in the Infernal Guard, characters, and "big cow" mount. If they go with the staple cannon/mortar/missile options with "something else" (train theme, siege tower, whirlwind, skullcracker) for AoS, it *would* be pretty similar except one is a train I'm hoping to see stuff that looks closer to the TWW bighats; I like blunderbusses more than fireglaives. Honestly this could be completely true and not have a huge impact on what comes from AoS chorfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasshpit Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) @Dragon-knight77 Swamp Hoppers sound cool!! I imagine some big gnarly frog creatures like the new krootox rampagers. @pitzok That is a cool sculpt.

Most likely that why CoS lost it to begin with because the first book abuse it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" There's a rumour that Chaos Dwarves were originally slated for the Old World, but ended up looking too similar to the new designs proposed for AoS" We're going to here ever & ever. The Snarlfang rider was slated for old world, the Saurus guard was slated for TOW, the chaos warrior was slated for TOW blah blah blah everything that not Stormcast is slated to Old World blah moving from that peeve if true that AOS is going to keep the Chaos dwarfs Assyrian aesthetic it definitely be interesting to see how they bring the 5th edition big hats & big beards with hand and legs (which was what the dwarfs essentially were back then) to the tabletop while "AOS-ifed" which what every WHF faction that transition sorta did (the different bloodlines or the new dinos stuff like that) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I think like Votann (the most recent Warhammer dwarf release) Chaos Duradin are probably going to be more grounded and serious but still have a central theme that sell the army. the AoSifed army would probably it own thing with maybe one or two key points from the old stuff (given their lore tibits it probably more industry heavy with daemon engines) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarakUrbaz Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Honestly we already know from the Horns of Hashut's design and lore that the Chaos Duardin are going to stick very close to their original themes; fire, slavery, industry, bulls, its all there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Kim Woof-Woof Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Something I always thought was a bit odd about the Chaos Dwarfs is that they're not very chaotic. They were all about industry and organisation. I wonder if that will change... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
