okay so i was reading an old fith edition fluff book titled "The World of Warhammer" and under the tzeentch section it says that the sorcerous god of the chaos dwarfs may be the changer of ways

The only thing is that the fluff for Tzeentch and Hasut is too different.  If Slaanesh can be birthed from the elves collective conscious, I don't see why the same can be true for Hashut.

Any chance of a quote with page number, author etc?  We can add it to the wiki then.

I actually like to think that Hashut existed before the DZ...

I suppose it would be possible for them to do it that way, but I seriously doubt they will reinstate that.  There are much better ways to show the chaos part of 'chaos dwarfs'.

My friend has that book, I'm surprised he didn't tell me that. However, be aware that it says MAY be... (Maybe that's just my choice...)

Usually, those things are done as the opinion of some Empire scholar, so they don't have any real weight.

I read somewhere Hashut was a Daemon Prince of Khorne, who betrayed the aforementioned diety and was imprisoned in the Mountains of Mourn. It sounds like old, old fluff to me, but it was an interesting read.

It's a line on p.101 of Worlds of Warhammer, and basically a throw-away: "Perhaps even the sorcerous god of the Chaos Dwarfs is a manifestation of the Changer of Ways."

The Khorne-daemon rumor has been around for a bit. There was supposedly some unprinted fluff cut from WFRP going into his origins, but it isn't canonical. A nod to it was included in the Liber Khorne in comparing Hashut to the Juggernauts of Khorne, suggesting that maybe Hashut was at one time a lesser daemon or daemon prince of Khorne that escaped.

Personally, I like to see Hashut as caught between Khorne and Tzeentch the way Khaine can be seen caught between Khorne and Slaanesh. The bloody aspect of Hashut is undeniable, but the sorcerous aspect is definitely against Khorne's typical nature and more in line with Tzeentch.

That could be the reason for his apparent rebellion. The fluff I read was really rather cool, with Hashut being persued across the Darklands by Khorne's servants (as in a few daemon princes/bloodthirsters) before a mighty struggle (I think in the foothills of the Mountains of Mourn, the story had the force of battle as the reason for Gash Kadrak).

Personally, I think of him as neither. That's just my opinion and that is all anybody has upon this subject
