Change Log:

As community feedback comes in I will update any changes I’ve made below, along with commentary for my reasoning. So far the process has been incredibly rewarding and the insights that I’ve gotten will make this a much stronger document than anything I could have done myself. So thank you very much for your input, and keep the ideas flowing!

Each time I make a significant update, I will also change the last number of the version. IE: Renegade Chaos Dwarfs 1.5.2.2.

When will these be finalized? My goal is to have things finalized as soon as possible. Once I feel like we’ve ironed out the bugs and areas of contention I will begin posting the final docs on www.squarebased.com.

Change Log

As community feedback comes in I will update any changes I’ve made below, along with commentary for my reasoning. So far the process has been incredibly rewarding and the insights that I’ve gotten will make this a much stronger document than anything I could have done myself. So thank you very much for your input, and keep the ideas flowing!

Added some updates morning of June 3 Original posting June 2.

On the naming of things!

• I definitely went a bit out of my mind trying to find the right names for everything on the first draft. So! For simplicity I’m going to do what seems the most acceptable to everyone

• The Despot is being promoted to the Overseer role (despite being the TWW3 name others felt it didn’t really fit, and fair enough.) Seneschal will return to his spot as the hero / BSB tier. No change to the Castellan, and of course some of the unit champs will now get rejigged too.

On the grand army list

• Thanks to some quality feedback, I’ve essentially returned the ability to bring Ironsworn in core to how it was in the original Renegade pack. Now if you forgo taking Black Orcs, and you also take a Castellan, you can have Infernal Ironsworn in core. This gives them roughly the same condition as Black Orcs themselves, and lets you theme more towards Chaos Dwarfs if that’s your thing.

• There was also in general some thoughts out there that Chaos Dwarfs SHOULDN’T have so many opportunities to bring actual Chaos Dwarfs, that they are few in number and reliant on forced labour to field their armies. To that I say - I’d need to do more research. Certainly Tamurkhan was designed as a Chaos dwarf force first… and as written you are able to definitely make a majority hobgob/O&G army if you please. Something for someone to make an Army of Infamy about in the future anyway!

• There is also no longer a requirement to take a Despot to unlock Black Orcs in addition to the required Black Orc boss of some sort.
• The Hellcannon has been returned to Warriors of Chaos

• There were not really any complaints about this, I just try to correct emotional decisions that go against some of the stated principles of the project. Given I didn’t attempt to modify it aside from granting it a free Hellbound upgrade, I will simply add that as a note in the Hellbound rule. Badabing badaboom: Hellcannons still sad.

• Due to popular demand added Orc Mobs and Goblin Mobs as mercenaries that you can take with the list. This felt like a clever compromise and came directly from the feedback out there!
• First crack at an Allies chart! Let me know what your thoughts are here. The format follows how Cathay was reverse engineered into the allied matrices of other armies.

Special Rules

• Added a note that states any Hellcannon taken in a Chaos Dwarf grand army gains this special rule.
• Removed the “to a maximum of 2+” from blackshard armour as it was confusing to some.

Magic Items

• Brought Ashen banner wording in line with Banner of Swirling wind.

Weapons of Zharr-Naggrund

• Darkforged weapons: Before giving up on this concept (I kind of kicked a bees nest on this one) improved the 6 result so that it is +1 strength for non-wizards rather than -1 MR.

• Lowered the cost for the item to 15 points as it’s better, but maybe not 3x better?
• If this still isn’t the sweet spot I’ll revert to the original in the final.

• Blood of Hashut - reduced to 10 points as the effect seems fine.

Unit stuff!

• Added note from “my will be done” to “relentless march” on the Despot so that the same unit may not be targeted multiple times.
• Bumped Castellan up to T5 so he’s in line with other melee dwarf characters. Reduced cost of Fireglaive to 3 points to reflect reduced cost on Infernal Guard.
• Increased cost of Dwarf Warrrior to 8 and Great weapon down to +1. This brings them in line with regular Dwarf Warriors

• June 3: As noted by some reg warriors have MR -1 and the extra base cost was unwarranted. I think they were fine at 7 points, so brought them back down. I suspect these types of micro tweaks will all need to be reviewed in a month anyway so I will let them roll at 7 points.

• Decimators - gave the option for drilled, and full rule from Steadfast discipline allowing them to volley fire on stand and shoot as well.
• Infernal guard - restored Regiment/ Detachment, Reduced fireglaive cost to 2 points and combined it with Blackshard Armour.

• June 3: Idea re: Blackshard Armour/fireglaive combo. Having access to a native 3+ to shooting (if you also bring the shield) is pretty rare for a core troop option. It also allows them to use the fire glaive in combat and get a 4+ save, giving it an edge over the GW. You can also still bring the shield and go HW/Shield in combat for a defensive stance, whereas you would be limited to a 5+ save with GW. This to me provides a nice trade off rather than making the GW+Blackshard combo a no brainer. I think it also represents the actual models the best too, because the Infernal guard were only ever available as HW/Shield or Fireglaive. So that’s the rationale.

• Fireborne - gave them heavy armour (the model has armour as has been pointed out to me many times), increased points to 38. I feel like that’s gotta be it right?
• Used the wording from GASP “Dragged Along” to clarify how Carriage Hauler works.
• Artillery:

• Big rocket back to D6, dropped to 110 (down 10 rather than up 10 as it was originally). Personally I see D6 wounds as a bit of a sidegrade rather than upgrade as it creates more variance on an already very random weapon. But the upside is what people love it would seem.  
• Dreadquake to D3+1 in the middle (down from D3+2). Retains Ogre Loader ability (we’ll see if this even survives the rumoured FAQ in June/ July). Added base size as “no base or 200 x 60” so that folks do not feel forced to base the model. Though I think it does make sense to have one.

• Staying at D3+1 rather than D6 as this model can double shoot and is also a big blast template, so is already well powered for a bombardment weapon.

• Dropped warmachines to light armour to account for buff from blackshard armour.

• June 3: Missed a bunch of typos from the name changes. Fixed now.

Chaos Dwarfs Special Rules

On this page you will find a full description for each of the army special rules used by models drawn from the Chaos Dwarfs army list:

Backstab

If a unit with this special rule is engaged with an enemy unit’s flank or rear arc, it may re-roll any failed rolls To Hit made against that enemy unit.

Blackshard Armour

A model with this special rule improves their armour value by 1 and  has a 5+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by an attack that has the Flaming Attacks special rule. In addition, a Wizard with this special rule may wear armour without penalty.

Blazing Body

Each combat phase, during Step 1.1 of the Choose Combat

& Fight sub-phase, before issuing challenges, any model (friend or foe) that is in base contact with this model and that does not also have this special rule suffers a single Strength 4 hit with an AP of -1. This hit has the Flaming Attacks special rule.

Note that any Wounds lost due to these hits do not count towards the combat result.

Ensorcelled Weapons

A hand weapon carried by a model with this special rule has the Magical Attacks special rule and an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1.

Note that this special rule only applies to a single, non-magical hand weapon and does not apply to a model’s mount (should it have one). If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, this special rule ceases to apply.

Hellbound

A Hellbound model has a 6+ Ward save against any wounds suffered that were caused by a non-magical enemy attack and gains both the Fear and Magical Attacks special rules. If the model already has the Fear special rule, it instead gains the Terror special rule. Additionally, once per game, a Hellbound model may re-roll one Scatter dice or one Artillery dice. However, should a Hellbound model ever have to make a roll on a Misfire table, it suffers a -1 modifier to the result.

Note that any Hellcannon taken as a Rare choice in a Chaos Dwarf Grand Army gains this special rule.

Resolute

Models with this special rule suffer a -1 modifier to the result of any Flee roll or Pursuit roll they make (to a minimum of 1).

Note that this modifier does not apply to mounted characters.

Stampede

Impact Hits caused by a model with this special rule have an Armour Piercing characteristic of -2.

Single use. A Wizard may use this scroll when attempting to cast a spell. If they do so, the Wizard rolls 3D6 when making their Casting roll (rather than the usual 2D6). However, if

a double 1 is rolled on any two of the dice rolled, the spell is miscast.

Lore Of Hashut

A Wizard with the ‘Lore of Hashut’ special rule may discard one of their randomly generated spells as normal. When they do so, they may select instead either the signature spell of their chosen Lore of Magic, or one of the spells listed below.

Curse Of Hashut

Type: Magic Missile

Casting Value: 9+

Range: 18"

Effect: This spell can only target enemy characters. However, it may target any enemy character that is within range and that the caster can draw a line of sight to, regardless of the usual rules for targeting characters, and may even target an enemy character that has joined a unit or that is engaged in combat.

The target enemy character must immediately make a Toughness test. If this test is passed, it suffers D3 Strength 2 hits, each with an AP of -. If, however, this test is

failed, it suffers D3+2 Strength 5 hits, with no armour or Regeneration saves permitted (Ward saves can be attempted as normal).

Storm Of Ash

Type: Hex

Casting Value: 9+

Range: Self

Effect: Until your next Start of Turn sub-phase, all enemy units suffer a -1 modifier to any rolls To Hit made whilst within 9" of the caster’s model (rolls of a natural 6 are unaffected).

Flames Of Hashut

Type: Assailment Casting Value: 8+ Range: Combat

Effect: A single enemy unit the caster is engaged in combat with suffers D3+1 Strength 4 hits, each with an AP of -1. These hits have the Flaming Attacks special rule.

Weapons Of Zharr-Naggrund

Many such accursed weapons are bartered and traded with the Champions of the north in return for captives, gold and stranger treasures, but not all. The finest weapons of the Dawi Zharr are jealously hoarded.

Blood Of Hashut

Single use. Instead of attacking normally during the Combat phase, a model equipped with one or more vials of the Blood of Hashut can make a single attack to expend one vial. Make a single roll To Hit. If successful, the enemy suffers D6 hits. These hits can be directed against a unit or against a single enemy model.

When rolling To Wound, the target number is the same as the armour value of the model(s) hit. For example, if the model(s) hit wear heavy armour, the target number for the rolls To Wound would be 5+, the same as the armour value of heavy armour. No armour save is permitted against wounds caused by the Blood of Hashut (Ward and Regeneration saves can be attempted as normal). Hits caused by the Blood of Hashut have the Flaming Attacks and Magical Attacks special rules.

Darkforged Weapon

A Darkforged weapon is a hand weapon with the Flaming Attacks special rule and can be used in conjunction with the Ensorcelled Weapons special rule. In addition, after deployment but before the first turn begins, roll on the table below to determine an attribute for the weapon. The weapon has this attribute for the duration of the battle:

Darkforged Weapon Table

Fireglaive

Notes: A Fireglaive has two profiles, representing its duality of purpose as both a ranged and combat weapon.

Hailshot Blunderbuss

Notes: A model armed with a Hailshot blunderbuss suffers no negative modifiers for firing at long range, for using the Multiple Shots (D3) special rule, or whilst making a Stand & Shoot charge reaction. In addition, if 10 or more models belonging to the same unit shoot at the same target with Hailshot blunderbusses, they may re-roll any rolls of a natural 1 when rolling To Wound.

Naptha Bombs

Notes: If the roll To Hit is successful, a naphtha bomb causes D3+1 hits to the target enemy unit, rather than the usual one.

If this model miscasts a spell, it must immediately make a Toughness test. If this test is failed, it loses a single Wound and gains a +1 modifier to its Toughness characteristic instead of rolling on the Miscast table. If this test is passed, it rolls on the Miscast table as normal.

If passed, a single friendly Infantry or Cavalry unit within their command range gains a +D3 modifier to their Movement characteristic (to a maximum of 10).

Troop Type:        Heavy chariot

Base Size:        60 x 100 mm

Unit Size:        1

Armour Value: 3+

Equipment:

• Iron Daemon: Steam Cannonade (see page 11)
• Chaos Dwarf Crew: Hand weapons

Options:

• May have the Hellbound special rule        +35 points
• May replace its Steam Cannonade with a Skullcracker (see page 11)        +10 points

Special Rules: Carriage Hauler, Close Order, Fear, Grinding Wheels, Immune to Psychology, Impact Hits (D6+1), Large Target, Lumbering Destruction, Stomp Attacks (D3+1), Unbreakable

Carriage Hauler

During the Movement phase, up to two friendly war machines with the ‘Steam Carriage’ upgrade that are completely within this model’s rear arc and within 8" of its base at the beginning of the phase can be moved when this model moves may replace their Movement characteristic with this model’s. These war machines must finish their movement completely within this model’s rear arc and within 8" of its base. Unless this model moves using the Lumbering Destruction special rule or makes a charge move, these war machines are not considered to have moved this turn.

Grinding Wheels

Stomp Attacks made by an Iron Daemon have an Armour Piercing characteristic of -2. However, this rule cannot be used against models whose troop type is ‘behemoth’ – they are simply too large to be caught beneath an Iron Daemon’s wheels.

In addition, and unlike other chariots, this model treats low linear obstacles as open terrain rather than as impassable terrain.

Lumbering Destruction

An Iron Daemon cannot march. Instead, you may roll a D6 and add its result to the model’s Movement characteristic. However, if a natural 1 is rolled when making this roll, something has gone wrong deep within the infernal machine, rendering it immobile. The Iron Daemon halts immediately and cannot move again for the remainder of this turn.

Steam Cannonade

Notes: When shooting with a steam cannonade, follow the normal Shooting phase sequence. This weapon does not have a 360° line of sight, it can only shoot into the Iron Daemon’s front arc.

Cannonade: When shooting with a steam cannonade, roll two Artillery dice before making any rolls To Hit. The number of shots fired is equal to the total of both Artillery dice:

• If a Misfire is rolled on one of the Artillery dice, all shots fired from the steam cannonade this turn suffer an additional -1 To Hit modifier (instead of rolling on a Misfire table).
• If a Misfire is rolled on both of the Artillery dice, no shots are fired and this model loses a single Wound (instead of rolling on a Misfire table).

After determining the number of shots, roll To Hit for each as normal, using the crew’s Ballistic Skill and applying all appropriate modifiers.

Skullcracker

An Iron Daemon equipped with a Skullcracker replaces the Impact Hits (D6+1) special rule with the Impact Hits (2D6+2) special rule and the Stomp Attacks (D3+1) with the Stomp Attacks (D6+1) special rule and gains the Armour Bane (1) special rule.

The Great Tauruses
