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

    73: Chaos Dwarf & Hobgoblin Heroes | Warhammer Old World Lore

    In this episode we have a look at the most important figures in Chaos Dwarf society, focusing on how their power is exercised through sorcery, industry, cruelty, and political intrigue. We start with Astragoth Ironhand, the ancient High Priest of Hashut and de facto ruler of Zharr-Naggrund, whose mastery of dark sorcery, religious authority, and mechanical augmentation has allowed him to dominate Chaos Dwarf politics for centuries despite the creeping Curse of Stone. We then turn to Drazhoath the Ashen, a rival Sorcerer-Prophet exiled to the Black Fortress who transforms banishment into strength by building the Legion of Azgorh and later exploiting the Tamurkhan invasion for profit and prestige. We close out with Gorduz Backstabber, a Hobgoblin warleader whose unparalleled treachery and survival instincts make him a uniquely valuable intermediary for Chaos Dwarf armies. All three point to the Chaos Dwarf worldview: power is maintained by fear, industry, ruthless ambition, and absolute devotion to Hashut.

    72: Intro to Hobgoblins | Warhammer Old World Lore

    We start this episode by exploring the Eastern Steppes, an immense, war-torn expanse of cold grasslands bordering the Chaos Wastes, Cathay, and a great southern desert. We detail its history of nomadic cultures, including the Chaos-worshipping Kurgan, the Hung, and especially the vast Hobgoblin Empire ruled by the Hobgobla-Khan. We look at the  Steppes’ violent past, the rise of the Hobgoblins as the most feared and treacherous Greenskin civilisation, their perpetual warfare with Cathay and neighbouring tribes, and the infamous Great Horde capable of blotting out the horizon. We briefly look at Hobgoblin physiology and culture—defined as it is by treachery, poison, and ruthless self-preservation, and recount their relations with the Chaos Dwarfs and Grand Cathay. We conclude with a look at Oglah Khan’s Wolfboyz, a notorious mercenary band who encapsulates the Hobgoblins’ blend of cunning warfare and opportunistic loyalty.

    71: Chaos Dwarf Society Pt2 | Warhammer Old World Lore

    This episode we focus on the Black Fortress, an immense volcanic citadel on the Chaos Dwarfs’ south-eastern frontier, a militarised outpost garrisoned by the brutal Legion of Azgorh. We look at the disgraced-but-fanatic Infernal Guard and their elite Ironsworn. We detail the fortress’s role as both a seat of harsh power and a place of exile, its internal culture of punishment and redemption. We examine the wider military forces that support the tower, including Bull Centaur guardians and a vast arsenal of daemon-fused war machines such as the Iron Daemon, Skullcracker, Magma Cannon, Deathshrieker, Dreadquake Mortar, and Hellcannon. We round out the episode with an overview of the Chaos Dwarf fleet.

    70: Chaos Dwarf Society Pt1 | Warhammer Old World Lore

    We start with an overview of Zharr-Naggrund, the immense obsidian ziggurat-city, hellish industrial landscape, and unending forges that are the heart of the Chaos Dwarf Empire. We outline the Chaos Dwarfs’ mastery of daemon-bound engineering, including their unofficially official elite castes such as the Alchemagi, Immortals, and Ashodar Enslavers. We also explores the origins and hierarchy of their magical rulers, the Daemonsmiths and Sorcerer-Prophets, whose power is balanced by the horrific petrifying Curse of Stone, leaving their fossilised (naked?) forms as eternal sentinels unless they turn to the rare alchemical Blood of Hashut to divert the curse.  Chat with us on Discord Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Listen Ad-Free⁠ SHOW IMAGES: Immortal Warrior of House Hargan Daemonsmith K’Daai Fireborn

    68: Chaos Dwarfs History Pt 3 | Warhammer Old World Lore

    In this episode we continue the turbulent history of the Chaos Dwarfs, starting with their rebuilding after the Black Orc revolt, their expansion through alliances with Hobgoblins and Ogres, and the catastrophic events that repeatedly weakened their population—from the Black Plague to the Night of the Restless Dead and a devastating Khornate siege. Them turn to look at the Tainted, mutated Chaos-warped Dwarfs who form brutal, clan-based societies in the northern mountains and increasingly threaten nearby realms. We close out with a look at the present day, the Chaos Dwarfs remain powerful yet critically depopulated, relying on slavery to sustain their industry and religious practices while expanding their raiding operations and navigating unstable alliances with Hobgoblins and Ogres. Dwindling slave supplies, strained relations with Greenskins, and the aftermath of the Storm of Chaos leave their future uncertain and perilous.

    67: Chaos Dwarfs History Pt2 | Warhammer Old World Lore

    We start this episode with a dive into the lore of Hashut (Ha-Shoot) and his role within Chaos Dwarf society. We then return to our trudge through their factional history. We rejoin the story with the Runesmiths finally being conquered by the newly empowered Sorcerer-Priests, but after months of fighting they were enslaved and sacrificed to Hashut, marking the birth of the Chaos Dwarfs. We discuss the Sorcerer-Priests raising Zharr-Naggrund, enslaving greenskins and humans, and triggering a great Orc, Goblin, and human migrations westward, weakening Karaz Ankor while concealing their own survival. Skaven also emerged, becoming a new source of slaves for the Chaos Dwarfs, who thrived on trade and exploitation. We close out with the most dangerous creation of the Chaos Dwarf, the Black Orcs, who eventually lead a massive revolt Chat with us on Discord Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Listen Ad-Free⁠ SHOW IMAGES: Sanctum of a Temple of Hashut Chaos Dwarf Lord on Taurus Hellsmith (Age of Sigmar) Map of The Dark Lands Hobgoblin Archers
