CDO Forums

hey all, this is mark two of the project that made me come here in the first place (all those long years ago) It has taken me ages to do te minor changes, and I have stolen a few ideas from you guys (mainly GSF for the brotherhood of hashut). I still need to redo the magic items, but hey, I'm slow and lazy. Well, I've babbled enough so here we go

Armoury
Blunderbuss
A blunderbuss is a simple black powder weapon that can unleash a frightening rate of fire
Range: 12” Strength 4 Special Rules: move or fire, armour piercing, may fire in an additional rank. Ignore long range

Deamonforged Armour
The armour worn by the nobles of Zarr Nagrund is made in the dark forges of Hashut, it is bound with the fell energy of the dark god himself
5+ Armour save and a 6+ ward save against non magical attacks

Special Rules
Unyielding
Chaos dwarves are stubborn, implacable foes, in battle they do not stop there advance until they have what they want, or there are no dwarves left
All models with the unyielding rule may march even when there is an enemy within 8"

Overlords
Dawi zarr are notorious slavers, there realms populated by more slaves than the dwarves themselves.Various units are referred to as overlords, these units follow all the following special rules
--overlords never take panic checks from fleeing slave units
--no overlord may join a unit of slaves, and a unit of overlords may never be joined by a slave character

Slaves
Much of the armies of Zar Naggrund are comprised of captured slaves. Many units are referred to as slaves, these follow the following rules--the army may never include more slave units than there are units or characters in the army with the overlord rule
--every turn a slave unit is out of 6” of an overlord unit them must make a panic test or flee towards the nearest table edge
--slaves may not fill the minimum core choices for the army

Animosity
Though more ordered than there western cousins, Hobgoblins still find reasons to fight amongst themselves, though this is far less serious than that of the Orcs .
each turn, at the begining of the movement phase before charges are declared, roll 1d6 for every Hobgoblin unit not in combat or fleeing, and apply the following effect
1. eeerm boss, 'es kinda bigg:The hobgoblin unit real away from the enemy in fear of what wll hapen if they get nearer, untill the boss can 'convince' them to get back into the fight
the hobgobin unit must take a Panic Test exactly as if they suffered 25% casualties from shooting
2-5. What ever ya say, boss: the hobgoblins find no problem obeying to orders this time
the hobgoblin unit acts as normal this turn
6. wot did u say, ya dirty little: the hobgoblins have taken offence at one enemy unit and are imediatly ready to teach them a lesson
the hobgoblin unit imedialty moves forward D6" towards the nearest enemyin line of sight, if they have ranged weapons they fire on that unit, but do not count as having moved

Deamonforging
The engineers of Zar Naggrund are adept at combining steel and chaos energy into one monstrous being
If the army contains a Deamonsmith than the war machines may be daemon forged. Any war machine with chaos dwarves as crew may be upgraded in this way.
Deamonforged war machines have a 5+ demonic ward save, as well as having the rampage special rule and using the hell cannon misfire chart, and cause fear. There shots count as magical
Additional rules for demonic war machines are in the units profile

Deamonic construct
Many unnatural machines serves the chaos dwarves, driven by the foul energies of chaos they have captured. These come in many forms but are generally referred to as deamonic constructs
All deamonic constructs are unbreakable
If a deamonic construct unit looses combat, they must make a leadership test (not a break test) . If they pass they suffer wound equal to the amount they lost combat by. If they fail they suffer the same amount of wounds as if they had passed plus the amount they failed the LD test by. This is reduced by 1 if there is a sorcerer within 12”
deamonic constructs cannot march unless there is a sorcerer within 12”

*takes two rare choices

Equipment: heavy armour, hand weapon
Unit size: 1 cannon, 5 chaos dwarf crew
Options:

Special rules
Heavy siege Cannon
The heavy siege cannon is the pinnacle of chaos dwarf destructive technology. The main barrel fires a great shell which can level any fortification, while the back up cannons can break through gates, enemy infantry or  even the ands itself in need
The heavy seige cannon has a range of 60“, and must guess the range like a stone thrower. The machine can fire in one of the two firing modes below. When firing, roll an artillery dice, this has no effect on how the shot hits but if it lands as a misfire, the machine, obviously misfires.:
Doomsday shell:  This is the main weapon of the cannon. It is used to break through anything that stands in the Dawi Zharr’s way. This shot is strength 10, and uses the large blast template. This causes d6 wounds to anything hit. So much force is there behind this shot that it scatters 2d6”, and on a direct hit it scatters d6” instead, in the way the black arrow is pointing on the scatter dice. This shot has a minimum range of 18”
Barrage shell: This is the shots using the back up weapons, it is a rain of medium explosive shells that clear away the things aiming to stop the cannon. This shot fires three small blast templates, which each scatter independently. Any model suffers a s4 hit which causes d3 wounds,
If the machine looses 2 crew, it can only fire a doomsday shell once every two turns, and if it losses three crewmembers it cannot fire a doomsday shell anymore, and can only fire a barrage shell once every two turns.
immobile
The heavy siege cannon is a great construct, weighing more than a company of soldiers, once it is set up by a team of slaves, it is almost impossible to move during the battle
The heavy siege cannon can never move in the game

The cannon, to keep the great force, must be bound and sealed by deamonic energy[/b]

What is the unit strength of a palanquin?
Do Bull prince and bull centaurs  have a unit strength of 1 because they are infantry (or do you what them to be treated as calvary in that regard)?  
Your Sneaky Gits are overpriced, IMH.  
I like the simple rules for blunderbusses and immortals.
Under Volley Fire, what happens if a misfire is rolled?
"Hellcannon misfire chart"???
Two rare choices that take up two rare shots, I don't if that would work.
I like all the rules for your war machines.
I would make all magic missiles strength 6 or lower (remember that S7 can auto destroy chariots).

Good work.

thanks mate, i will do some altering now
