"I was actually against Dwarfs before I was for them."

So I'm officially flip-flopping, and changing from Beastmen to Dwarfs.

I tend to do this, I read through the options, and make a rash army-choice decision based on something small.  With 40k I chose Orks because I thought (and still do think) they were physiologically superior to every other choice (except Necrons...but back then they lacked free will - major turn off)

With Fantasy I chose Beastmen because of their aesthetics.  I thought I was right in this, because I took issue with Ork aesthetics before and it forced me to move on.  But, I have again learned from myself and realized that not only did the aesthetics/fluff of Chaos Space Marines appeal to me, but their Elite status did too.  Playstyle matters, and horde armies are simply too daunting for me (especially because I always have ambitious conversion ideas for armies).

I was initially attracted to Chaos Dwarfs, because of my affinity for Chaos.  However, I don't like that they don't choose Chaos, they're simply genetically-altered Chaos-Men. 

Also, they more often look like this:



Perrin's Dwarf Throng Fluff update is pending, as well as initial images of my conversion ideas (because I'll be damned if my army ever looks normal!)
