74: Chaos Dwarf Weapons & Warfare | Warhammer Old World Lore

from Laying Down The Lore: Old World · host Laying Down The Lore

In our final episode on the Chaos Dwarf we look at their army design across Warhammer Fantasy editions, focusing on the transition from the 3rd to 4th edition lists, the focus of the episode, and closing out with the 8th and Old World lists. We look at the hodgepodge nature of their introduction to warhammer which included solid blocks of “Chaos Warrior Dwarfs” supported by a plethora of warmachines. We dive into the 4th edition list and some of the rules which combined heavily armoured Chaos Dwarf infantry, numerous Hobgoblin units, and goblinoid slave contingents. All augmented with Bull Centaurs, monsters, and crude but powerful artillery such as the Earthshaker Cannon. We close out the episode with a look at how Forge World radically reshaped the faction into a smaller, more elite force dominated by Sorcerer-Prophets, Infernal Guard, and  daemon-bound war machines.Chat with us on DiscordPatreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen Ad-Free⁠SHOW IMAGES:3rd EditionChaos Dwarf Army list - Hobgoblin army list - Ass Cannon4th EditionHeroic Infantry - General on Great Taurus - Sorcerer on LammasuChaos Dwarf Infantry - Bull CentaursHobgoblin Warriors - Archers - Wolfriders - Sneaky GitsEnslaved OrcsWarmachinesThe Old WorldLegends Chaos Dwarf Army ListTheme Music: Tavern by Alex Rufire
