Chaos Dwarf Slaver Warband

by Evan Emswiler

I was inspired by Tommy Punk's work on the City of the Damned Warbands, so I decided

to make up my own -- the Chaos Dwarf Slaver Warband. I hope you like it.

Chaos Dwarf Slaver Warband

"Take 'em alive." -- The motto of the Chaos Dwarf slaver

The black mines and factories of the Chaos Dwarf Empire require an ever growing

population of slaves. The livespan of a slave in the mines around the Tower of Gorgoth

or in the factories of the Plain of Zharr is not long -- they are worked literally to death.

Thus, every day the Chaos Dwarf nobles send bands of their subordinates, reinforced by

goblinoid slaves, to procure more workers. The majority of these bands are sent into the

orc and goblin tribelands of the mountains surrounding the Chaos Dwarf Empire, where

the orcs and goblins that make up the majority of their workforce and armies. However,

some have been known to make it into the lands beyond, into the lands of the human

Empire...

The Chaos Dwarf warband is slightly different from others in that there are two different

races included in most warbands. The "heroes" portion of the warband is composed of the

Chaos Dwarves themselves (and possibly a bull centaur), while the "henchmen" section is

made up entirely of their goblinoid slaves.

A Chaos Dwarf slaver band must have a minimum of at least 3 models. You have 500

shekels with which to choose troops to make up your band. The maximum number of

warriors in the band is 20.

Special Rules for Chaos Dwarf Warbands: Chaos Dwarfs are cold and cruel creatures,

who think nothing of sending their slaves to certain death. Chaos Dwarfs or Bull

Centaurs are therefore not affected by the death or breaking of any of their henchmen (ie,

they will not have to take any tests because of a slave breaking). Similarly, black orcs are

not affected by orcs or goblins. Orcs are not affected by goblins, and no one is affected

by hobgoblins (except other hobgoblins).

Orcs and goblins must ordinarily test for animosity. However, if there is a black orc

within 6", or if your warband includes hobgoblins, they do not have to test. Hobgoblins

must always test.

Heroes:

Slaver Captain -- 80 shekels

Each warband must have one slaver captain. This is generally a low ranking Chaos Dwarf

noble, placed in charge of the slaver band by his lord. The position of slaver caption is a

dangerous one that often ends in an ignominious death on the burnt plains of the Dark

Lands. If successful, however, it can be the start of an illustrious career. Indeed, many

illustrious Chaos Dwarf generals have begun their careers slaving in the mountains

around the Dark Lands.

Weapons and armor: A Chaos Dwarf slaver captain may choose his equipment from the

Chaos Dwarf Equipment list.

Special Rules: Any warriors with 6" of the captain may use his leadership when taking

leadership tests.

One Bull Centaur -- 100 shekels

While Bull Centaurs do not normally bother themselves with the affairs of slaver bands,

they will occasionally lend assistance at the request of their lord. This is a somewhat rare

occurance, however, and thus only one Bull Centaur will ever be associated with a

particular slaver warband.

Subordinates -- 30 shekels each

Your warband may include any number of subordinates. It is rare indeed for a Chaos

Dwarf Warband to include no subordinates, as most slaver captains are reluctant to be

alone in the wastes with their goblinoids slaves. Of course, the Chaos Dwarf

subordinates get the first choice of equipment after the captain.

Henchmen

Henchmen must be chosen in groups of 1 to 5.

Hobgoblins -- 15 shekels each

Most Chaos Dwarf warbands include at least a few hobgoblins, and some are composed

entirely of hobgoblins and dwarves. The are not entirely trusted by their masters, but are

given positions with some authority, watching over the other slaves.

Black Orcs: 40 shekels each

Black Orcs have not been trusted since their nearly disasterous rebellion. However, they

are allowed to join slaver bands, as their strength and discipline are useful in forcing their

lesser orc and goblin brothers into submission. However, your warband must have at least

as many Chaos Dwarf subordinates as it has black orcs -- they are not trusted and must

not be allowed to outnumber their Chaos Dwarf superiors.

Weapons and armor: Black Orcs choose their equipment from the slave equipment list.

Orcs: 25 shekels each

Orcs are constantly fighting amongst themselves, and so orc slaves have no reservations

about giving their free brothers a good bash. Unlike the smarter, stronger Black Orcs,

they lack the intelligence to organize any kind of revolt, and are usually content to escape

the heat and exhaustion of the mines and get a chance for a scrap.

Goblins: 10 shekels each

The fate of a goblin slave in the Chaos Dwarf mines is even less enviable than that of an

Orc, and so any chance to escape the exhaustion and bullying they face is welcomed,

even if it takes the form of a slaving expedition into the wastes.

Chaos Dwarf Equipment List:

About the Chaos Dwarf blunderbuss -- The Chaos Dwarfs are experts at making

machines of firey destruction, and one of their favorite weapons is the blunderbuss.

Unlike inferior blunderbusses created by humans, it may be reloaded in a relatively short

time. It follows the rules for blunderbusses given in the main rules, however it may be

fired more than once. It requires one turn to reload. During this time, the model may

move, but may not be involved in hand to hand combat or other shooting.

About Chaos Dwarf Scale armor: Chaos Dwarfs produce a unique kind of armor made

of hundreds of overlapping scales. This provides a higher level of protection than armor

produced by humans. Like normal Dwarf Armor, Chaos Dwarf Scale armor provides a

saving throw of 4, 5 or 6. A warrior wearing this kind of armor has his initiative halved.
