Oh my god that book needs an editor.

Really fun game, but one of the most frustrating things to read since original Mordheim.

I do really recommend it as a sci fi skirmish, really so much fun, but the book desperately could do with a second edition to tighten the language, have some consistency and maybe write some challenges that use a stat other than Reaction.

Disarming atomic bombs using your reflexes is very funny, but Intelligence is also a stat and almost entirely unused!

So I know the Chaos Dwarves have Hobgoblins, but they aren't the star of the show.

I think having a single Chaos Dwarf leader could be cool, or 2-3 total. But essentially I really want to use loads of these guys!

There's a few Goblin based teams but I'm not very experienced with them. Anyone advise what could work the best?

I guess I could replace the big Orcs with Chaos dwarves?

Or just run them as Mercs?

All ideas welcome!

Edit-

Thanks for the replies everyone, I've now picked up the kit along with the Chaos Dwarf Underworlds band and a single Orruk Rager from Aos.

Plan is to either run them as Chaos Dwarves, or as Orc mob depending on what's allowed in the campaign.

The Orruk Rager will either represent the Bull centaur or a Troll, but given they're covered in scars I think they work well as a slave gladiator type model. Even though Mordheim is set in the Old World the Chaos Dwarves can use dark magics to enhance an orc to these more obtuse proportions

As per title, my Space Truckers for Space Station Zero could be fun for Venators

But I need more bodies and probably some more impressive guns?

I was thinking about getting one of the loader suit heavy weapon Votann to convert to an Ogryn. I could also potentially use Votann with unmodified legs for the Venators too?

I have Rein and Raus from Blackstone fortress as well come to think of it, they are also loaded up with kit and would probably blend right in.

Open to any and all ideas!

After the Legionary Sgt model I wanted to see how a Chosen might look for this project.

Much more tech horror, more mutation, more random crap sticking out of him etc.

I know Chosen can't use plasma guns, but it's a placeholder until we see the 11th rules and I decide what to arm them all with.

Cult of the Eight Toothed Cog

A bizarre chaos warband who originated within the Word Bearer Legion. Unlike most chaos legions they do not deny the Emperor's divinity, instead they believe he is the Omnissiah- The Machine God made flesh. 

With close ties to the Dark Mechanicum and the Hellforges, they are enamoured with Scrap Code as a pure form of Chaos corruption.

They believe the Omnissiah can be corrupted with Scrap Code like any other machine and that infecting him is the key to winning the Long War.

So this is a test model for my CSM army I'm looking to take forward into 11th. (Had an army, but decided to strip it and revamp it for the new edition)

I've just always liked the idea of Word Bearers and the Omnissiah, it's just something that's not touched on. The WBs were censored for worshipping Big E, but the Mechanicum get a free pass? It's an area I find interesting!

I'm not building the army until we get rules for 11th, but I have a Chosen I'm working on as another test model so will hopefully get him finished soon and posted up.

Also, this is specifically a Legionary Sergeant with Plasma Pistol and Power Fist. To help give it that Mechanicum look to the army I'm essentially giving anyone with a Power Fist or Heavy Melee Weapon a Servo-Arm

Would love any input on the lore or ideas for where I could take it/change it!
