They can add all kinds of new Dwarfs with no connection to the old ones, because it's basically a new species (still Dwarfs, but technically new).

Ah right. I've literally paid no attention to AoS beyond looking at the pretty models as apart from buying some dwarfs when they landed last time round I haven't touched fantasy for at least three editions. (despite wanting to "finish" my chaos warriors, collect some dwarves, some bretonnians, maybe one or two other odds and ends...)
