I have a Chaos Dwarves team and I love 'em. Bull Centaurs and Hobgoblins add a bit a versatily to an otherwise slow race as was pointed out by some.
If you happen to play a lot of Elves team, you'll have a clear advantage because the "Tackle" skill basically negates their "Dodge". Elves are expensive and most people build their team with only 1 or 2 rerolls because they rely on the Dodge skill to reroll failed Dodge checks. You'll also have a 1-in-2 chance to knock them down every time you block. Just be careful with your players placement because if they get past you, you are done for.
You can also handle bashy teams like Orcs because of your high AV and Thick Skull. I'd say your worst opponents are more generic teams like Humans/Skavens because they can nearly match the Elves' speed without being hindered much by Tackle.
The game really shines when someone gets a bunch of people together for a multi-month league. Just regularly post the schedule/standings/highlights in the FLGS and rivalries will spawn and trash-talk will fly.
