My brother and I ran a Club Table for Chaos Dwarfs Online, and we snapped a bunch of pictures while we were there. For the table I had to finish a bunch of Chaos Dwarf units! Plenty of pictures can be found here. In order to get the pictures up as soon as possible, we just batch uploaded everything, which means there are plenty of badly lit and blurry pictures, so mind those ones!
I was following the threads over at the CDO and your table sounded like it was really going to be coo,l but it ended up looking like all the other foam cutter tables with a Hirst Arts style castle topper. Its not really bad, Just VERY common, its a shame too with all the talent over there...
Well at least you did one... I should have one for the next show, I going a different way for my cliffs and stuff.
Hope to see ya then...

I will be taking some individual unit pictures soon, after I touch up the models a bit more.
that is one b*tch of a table, hirst or not. Are you playing those? There is an unofficial set of rules http://battlereporter.freeforums.org/wa ... l-f88.html which you are most definitely aware of, are these of any serious use? It would be shame not to play that army...
We hate what you hate. And we hate you. With eternal hatred!

I am sorry I'm a purest I don't believe that Armies that are not current should not be supported. A good example is the Chaos Dwarfs. Their time has came and went. And now that Forge World is not going to make a version of the Chaos Dwarfs... its time to retire them.
Its not really fair for current armies to play Version 5 Armies, the version 5 armies have too much teeth in them. And Special books wrote by those groups make it even less fair.

There is a difference between Purist and Elitist. You are the latter. If you spend the coin on a GWgame, you should be able to play said GW game. No matter what revision it is.

Not an elitist... I believe if you want to play version 5 game thats fine... its when you try to take a version 5 army agaist a version 8 army is when I object... The current game play is much more different that it was back in the 90's and it gives a version 5 an advanage.
I feel your pain I have spent a a great deal of money over the years only to have the rules change and the part of an amry disappear. This why theres a bunch of use that still play Version 6 and 7 rules.
Besides there are no chaos Dwarf rules for Version 7 or 8 and barely one for 6.
That's really not a unique point of view. And certainly for tournament goers, it is important to have a list of armies that you can learn about in advance such that there are no surprises when you play.
In such instances, people often opt to use the Dwarfs Army Book using the "counts as" concept.
In friendly games, the Ravening Hordes list is more than sufficient. It's only two pages as well, which makes learning about Chaos Dwarfs very easy.
As for the table itself: we would have liked to have spent more time on it, but time constraints prevented that. I was taking several university courses and working full time. My brother was getting licensed to be a Real Estate agent. I barely had to time to paint up the Chaos Dwarf army (I painted over 100 models in the week leading up to Games Day).
The castle was made using MDF in about 3 days. I agree that the table was not extremely unique. We simply didn't have the time to make anything more elaborate. As my brother and I live in different cities separated by some 500 km, it was rather difficult to co-ordinate at all.
That said, I am very happy with what we were able to produce under such time constraints.
