Chaos Dwarf References

From Chaos Dwarfs

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of nearly all Chaos Dwarf rules and articles printed in Games Workshop literature. It also includes smaller references to Chaos Dwarfs and Hobgoblins, usually in descriptions or fluff. Some references are not strictly Chaos Dwarf related but are close enough to be of interest, particularly Norse Dwarfs, Hobgoblins, etc.

Repetitions of material is noted where it is known. It was common for book articles to be published in White Dwarf around the time of release, and for White Dwarf articles to be collected into White Dwarf Presents compendiums. All articles/books are listed in the chronological order of release. Some books/articles were valid for more than one edition, usually the end of one edition and the beginning of another. Where this occurs the article is listed in the edition it was first released under - there are always some overlaps between editions.

Entries include a full reference which may be copied and pasted when updating pages on the wiki.

Dwarfs - Stone and Steel

A sourcebook on Dwarfs.

25: "The Dwarfs reserve a particular loathing for the corrupted Chaos Dwarfs, whom they call the Tainted (Khazalid: Frurndar). Their existence is seen as a disgrace to the entire Dwarf race, and one which can only be expunged by the total extinction of the Chaos Dwarfs. The savagery of the battles between the two races nearly reaches that of the Dwarf-Orc conflicts. The few Chaos Dwarfs who survive long enough to be captured can only look forward to a lengthy interrogation before they are also killed."

60: "Some say that [Grimmaz] has been seen in the possession of a marauding band of Tainted Dwarfs found near the High (Beleyevorota) Pass, northwest of Kislev."

61: "Over a century ago, Kislevite trappers in the nearby World's Edge Mountains encountered a band of Tainted Dwarfs whose leader was carrying an ornate warhammer. One survivor of the onslaught, Ivan Keanovich, reported that this magical hammer was able to shoot lightning bolts at will. Through some research in the Great Library in Marienburg, the Imperial explorer Tomas Ostermann determined that the little information provided by Keanovich was enough to convince him that the magical hammer was indeed Gnoldron. Ostermann mounted an expedition in 2430 I.C. to recover the hammer, but never returned."

"They have been known to enslave grobi," added Gorril, "but this is done with the whip and the club. Left alone, the greenskins rebel and do what they will. If the grobi we encountered had been slaves, there would have been Dawi Zharr overseers with them, driving them into battle."

The Chaos Dwarf had tiny skull-shaped black beads woven into his beard, each one marked with one of the runes on the slave ring (presumably this is how Zhardrach controlled the ogre), as well as gold rings piercing his brow and gold studs set in his nose. Zhardrach worshiped Hashut (called 'Dark Father' by the Norscans) and forged a sword for Einarr, the novel's protagonist, from a shattered steel sword and an ithilmar dagger; there is no indication he was learnt in sorcery. Zhardrach accompanied Einarr and his warband into the Chaos Wastes. He spent the majority of the novel chained to a two-headed Chaos Ogre and planning to betray and kill the warband, but was finally slain by the Chaos Dragon Bubos.

"Green fire rippled around the warlord's axe, a weapon of immense poer and evil. The blade was smooth obsidian and no orc craft had fashioned so deadly a weapon. Twisted variants of the runes that blazed on Ghal-maraz were worked along the length of its haft, and Sigmar felt their evil clawing at his soul."
