Dwarf vs Chaos Dwarf?

[Salem Graves]

What are the biggest differences between these two teams and which is considered "best"? Dwarfs don't seem to be super popular since I can find almost no series with them, but there are several for Chaos Dwarfs.

Chaos Dwarfs (Chorfs) are generally considered better for a few different reasons:

Chorfs have ST4 players that also have pretty good movement in Bull Centaurs. These guys make for great bullies (pun not intended)

Chorfs have access to Claw which is a must-have when facing fellow bash teams. This matters much more at higher TVs, which is where Chorfs shine brightest.

Chorfs have cheap pieces to foul with. Sometimes plain old hitting doesn't cut it, you need to be even more proactive in making your opponent suffer. This is where fouling comes in handy (plus having fouling options helps deter or remove Piling On pieces). Dorfs can foul, and I've met a decent amount who do, but hobgoblins are cheaper and less important to Chorfs than Longbeards are for Dorfs.

Dorfs are a solid team. Just need good positioning, get some Guard, some MB, a mobile tackle piece and they are an absolute pain to deal with. At lower TVs they probably perform a little better Chorfs thanks to starting skills and more av9. Once you reach mid-high TV Chorfs start gaining the advantage for the reasons I listed above.

Dwarves are slow but incredibly sturdy, whereas Chaos Dwarves are pretty much the same but are also surprisingly fast due to their Bull Centaurs and Hobgoblins, and are easily the best team to play if you want to murder the entire opposition since they also have incredible starting skills and their key players have both Strength and Mutation skill access. In short, Chaos Dwarves are basically just Dwarves but better. (Admittedly, Dwarves are slightly better at handling the ball due to their Runners, and I'm pretty sure that most of their pieces are less expensive to replace when they do eventually kick the bucket, but those are really the only two advantages normal Dwarves have over Chaos Dwarves as far as I am aware.)

Give up both and try Nurgle :)

Fcking centaurs are frustrating though with their 2 in agility. but chaos dwarfs are a fun team to play.

Which is something i wouldn't say about dwarfs.
