They also released a whole sourcebook, (which I incidentaly have). But as you aptly pointed out. That doesn't change the fact that we aren't including them. So I suggest we wait with putting any energy on these for the time being.

Once we have the main release done, and any bug-fixes and issues ironed out, we will look at which factions we can add in as add-on's for the mod. I want to see Kislev in there, and there have been requests to add Wood Elves too.

Basically, all we would need would be an achievable model set, enough source material to make the unit selection good, and then find a space on teh map where we can fit them in.

No reason why Chaos Dwarves wouldn't be possible ... we will be making all the skeletons and animations for the normal Dwarves, so the hard work would already have been done. Abokasee ....it is very possible that your army of choice may be along in a later patch/release....so don't give up hope!

Well kislev and wood elves especially are much better known factions/races so there good to keep in/add first later,then choas dwarfs because there basically a remodel, and some orc units drafted in... the only other factions that would be added in later pacthes are Araby, and possibly nippon (Araby has a army list for the really small epic scale ones, whilst nippon has none)

oh campain wise, the more choas dwarfs use magic (Sorcerer lords in this case) the more they turn to stone from the feet up, so a trait like "With the ways" or "Cursed By the winds" could repersent this IE at first add +2 to there hit points then +3 etc until it reaches beyond +9 in which by then he turns completely to stone and they cart him away to there main city and use him as a statue with the others of his kind

So heres some images
Thats the cover of the source book/rule book before it was taken out I beleive
Hell cannon, Manned by choas dwarfs, Ordered by choas dwarfes, Made by green skin slave labour
Sorcerer lord on foot i think
Nice gallary of some choas dwarfes, painting is a bit glossy I reckon
Another page with choas dwarfs

Well, there's a reason they're not possible : they are out of the map - as shown in the A world to play in ! topic, just like Ogre kingdoms, and other uncovered factions like Hobgoblins, Cathay, Nippon or Indya.

Possible factions on the current maps are, if I'm not mistaking, Wood Elves, Kislev, Arabia and Lahmian vampires (these 4 being covered by many sources), aswell as Estalia, Tilea, Marienburg, Border Princes (who by definition, aren't a faction) and norscan tribes.

I'll have none of that Mr Mopey-pants.

They're just off the eastern map edge. So either we extend the map a smidgeon, or we just have them entering on the edge and we treat them as some kind of Chaos Dwarf army of conquest into the Old World. There's plenty of solutions to include them. I personally like Chaos Dwarfs so I'd love to see them included in the future.

Yeah, so I am. Their ancient assyrian look and huge beards are so kinky. There could always be a reason to include them. For example, although they usually don't leave Zarr-Naghrund (sp?), they decided to help Archaon by offering him the new chaos canons.

The same about Hobgoblins. AFAIK, they are Warhammer world's mongols. An hobgoblin invasion could be triggered, based on the Mongol/Timurid vanilla M2TW event, though it might be a bit too far stretched.

The lahmian vampires arent likely as a faction, they'd require a seperate culture for female portraits and we need a good few more of those before we give one to a one province faction.
