I mean, you kinda do? You don't push a fresh recruit into battle if you can avoid it,. You train them first and try to give them experience before they need to risk their life in battle. If we're going up against Dark Elves, they're a big step up in general lethality compared to Orcs and Skaven, so wanting to be in top form before fighting them is a perfectly normal concern.
Also, we're gonna be fighting with Shadow Warriors, Elves known for their skill at being sneaky assassins. It makes sense to train those kind of skills as best we can before visiting, so we have the best chance to learn by observing and working with Elves with literally hundreds of years of experience doing this sort of thing.

For what purpose? Chaos dwarfs are rather low on threat priority list.
For the most part, they just kinda stay in their lands and don't bother others much. As opposed to Norska. And vampires. And orcs. And beastmen. And you get the idea.

Because they're behind the World's Edge Mountains with massive hordes of Greenskins and volcanic terrain in the way. Plus the Chaos Dwarfs themselves are an industrialized power who can flatten would-be invaders.
EDIT: Though that does raise the question of how the hell trade caravans make it through the Dark Lands.
@BoneyM what do regular caravans look like? What's their normal path on this map? What's the success rate of eastern trade expeditions?

because most of them dont know about the Chaos Dwarves, and those that try get killed by said fortified chaos dwarves.

@Redshirt Army can we afford the favour cost of your plan? We have 11 favours, but to my count your plan costs 12: 10 for the Patriarch, 1 for lessons on spells, 1 for lessons on enchantment.

They are a big part of where a lot of the chaos factions get their gear. from high-end stuff to just gargantuan piles of mundane weapons and armor.
My understanding is that they at least as good at making fortresses as dwarfs, but have a lot more ablative fodder to throw in front of attackers. On top of that, they live a long ways away in the middle of the badlands. Any army marching on them would be under constant attacks by orks, Skaven, and various gribbles. The army might be fine, but its logistical trail would be fucked. So you would need to mount a massive expedition though very hostile territory, and then seige down a dwarf level mountain fortress, only with demons built into it. It might be possible but it would take a massive effort and would be costly in blood and treasure, and may not work.
We can, the GM confirmed that we can go negative on college favor, and in this case we will not go negative long since we have the vampire paper coming up.

I'm totslly down for becoming the avatar of Uglu BTW, Malekith being avatar in canon STILL makes no sense. The guy uses Dhar, not Uglu! And again, Picture Mathilde rocking the Sindbad: Legend of the 7 Seas Eris look.
I do think the throwing star is important as well, if only to know if the dhar burning belt will work on the poison or not.
As for college favors... if we put out a paper, that should give us at LEAST 1 favor, so we can probably afford the 12 favor price... unless that plan doesn't include papers? IDK.
EDIT: Eshin'd.

Every plan includes papers. We get a free paper a turn.

Having a really great time right now
Also, depending on the scale of the planned project, Mathilde might go, 'Oh no, my awesome tower of kickass! Okay, everyone retreat to the next mountain over, where one of the backup towers is!'
If mass evacuation is infeasible, she may just take a dozen minutes to ride her shadowsteed down the tower, down the mountain, over to the next mountain and fire up the backup tower directly.
That is how eyes work

How on earth do the Chaos Dwarfs still even exist? The Dark Lands are barren, utterly inhospitable to agriculture, and any food shipments have to travel hundreds of miles over hostile terrain. Even places within the Empire occasionally suffer starvation despite the ground being infinitely better for growing food and shorter distances to food sources. It doesn't make sense at all for the Chaos Dwarfs to get enough food to feed themselves, let alone enough for their hordes of slaves.
This isn't even getting into the fact that they'd probably have way more issues with people killing each other than vanilla dwarfs what with being Chaos.

It's a reoccurring shortfalling of warhammer that only the order factions seem to need stuff like food or logistics.

volcano have pretty fertile soil IIRC
so they probably took the soil and use it to farm something

Like how Norsca never fails to summon an nearly inexhaustible amount of oversized beefy marauders to act as a meatshield for Chaos despite the extreme harsh living conditions not allowing for any kind of sizeable population growth, then again Chaos followers are favoured by more then just the Dark Gods...

They're Dwarfs, they probably run massive magma-fueled aeroponic farms or something. Plus as Chaos-mutated Dwarfs I can see them being able to subsist on nothing but cave mushrooms as needs must.
It's the slaves that are the problem, since there's no source of food pure enough to keep regular folks alive over there. Good thing the Chaos Dwarfs have turned Greenskin slavery into an arcane-science, especially since greenskins produce their own food via giving off spores for squigs and edible fungi.
