What Big Guy for a Chaos Dwarf Team ?

[sean newboy]

Most leagues i knew of dont allow pa's to chaos members on other teams.

But Sean, don't you agree that the mino isn't part of the Chaos team, but a Big Guy allowed on the team ? The Treeman has access to the same skills wether he plays for the Halflings or the Wood Elves...

Our league allows it. It is actually one of the main reasons people go with mino's over trolls or ogres. Not that it happens alot, but it is a factor in their decision.

[sean newboy]

All the leagues i have had experiance with do not allow allies pa's, even if they would normally have access to them in their own teams. PA's are supposed to come from the chaos gods favor or from warpstone. Khorne doesnt care what anyone on a Dark elf (Khaine) or Chaos Dwarf (Hashut) team does so they would get no help from Khorne (same logic for the other gods).

Yeah, but skaven don't get mutation from gods, they get them from warpstone. It could be argued that on another team, the coach won't let them eat that crap, and i could live with this explanation.

But minotaurs get their mutations naturally, and not through gods or stone. How are you going to stop them from mutating?

Like you said, it's a good idea not to "allow allies pa's, even if they would normally have access to them in their own teams". But minotaurs don't even have a team, and are not really allies either. So there's no reason to limit them.

This arguement does have logic to it, I would have to agree, let minos have mutations no matter who they play for (probably doesn't happen all that often anyway, since doubles are needed).

I have never lost a season (i.e. always won the final) with Chaos Dwarves - and I've played them 5 times.

I guess you could say that I'm undefeated with them - although I have lost individual games with them.

Block is a great advantage to you in a CD team.

Wild Animal is a great liability in the current incarnation of the rules. It would be wiser to run with the Troll.

Which is interesting, as I completely overlooked the troll last season as a Big guy and went with a minotaur instead.

Be aware that the troll will tend to 'suck' players to him so that he is treated as bonehead instead of Really Stupid.

The Minotaur will 'suck' players to him to protect him from having to make mostrous blocks at the beginning of his turn (surrounding a Big Guy with Wild Animal will drain the opponent of turns, unless you play that the Wild Animal can choose to do nothing).

If you use a troll, keep him near your Blockers, and use your Bull Centaurs as linebackers / blitzers.
