No stinky smelly Beastmen here!
My unassembled Beastmen still in their SC Box:
I doubt your Chaos Warriors are any more hygienic - given they’re sealed inside their armour, where does all their waste go?
In all seriousness, though, congrats
@Lizards of Renown for deciding to have a go at collecting and playing Chaos Dwarfs, their eternal resistance against GW’s attempts to squat them gets stronger with every new player! Good luck with finding a cheap copy of Tamurkhan to play them with though...
I have a whole heap of respect for the Dawi Zharr, for their unique and original aesthetic and background, their and their dedicated and loyal fanbase. It’s just such a shame that GW didn’t give them the same treatment as any other Fantasy faction. They never had a fair playing field in terms of attention, even their 4th Edition book was a White Dwarf exclusive as I understand it. A copy of it appeared at one of my favourite retailers of second-hand Warhammer books not long ago... I had to resist the urge to snaffle it for myself.
The Tamurkhan book is OK for playing them in 8th, but I just find it painful how undersized the Legion of Azgorh list is compared to all the proper Fantasy lists, particularly in 7th and 8th where all the armies got a healthy selection of different options, and the fact that it was Forge World-made rather than developed by GW proper lowers my opinion of it all the more (Forge World-written stuff still feels fan-made in my personal opinion, because though it’s technically part of GW it isn’t the 100% real McCoy that only comes with Games Workshop proper).
I honestly find Matthias Eliasson’s Chaos Dwarfs book created as part of his Warhammer Armies Project to be the better ruleset - it bulks out the list to put it on a level playing field with all the official lists, and to be honest the price to pay for going fan-made is far far less than what it used to be now GW no longer supports 8th, particularly as a lot of players trust Eliasson’s work because he makes regular updates and he’s got a flash Blogspot site to host all his work on. Also it's free to download!
However, as you’re the Chaos Dwarf player, not me, it’s down to you to choose which set of rules you want to use.
I see you’ve decided to go with Lost Kingdom as your company of choice... make sure to keep them nicely packed in your cases... I assume you have a 3D printer in your lodgings somewhere, or are going to get your minis from someone who does?
. Speaking of which, Nurgle's followers are less hygienic than your Beastmen, but on the opposite end, you have someone like Slaanesh's Sigvald.
