“Where was Grimnir when our warriors were dying? Where was Valaya when our children sickened? When we called out for aid in the deep places where we delved, it was not Grungni who answered our call, but mighty Hashut who delivered us in our time of need. Who are the real traitors here? Our kin who abandoned us to madness and death or we who only sought to survive against the forces of Chaos? One day there will be a reckoning and it will be the Sons of the Father of Darkness who will have the victory, not the weak willed spawn of the pathetic Ancestor Gods.” -Mordian Slagfist, Chaos dwarf warrior.

[@AnomalyINC]

Imagine an army of fedora-wearing Dwarfs with glorious neckbeards, euphoric from their own enlightenment, doing the Dreamworks-face, tipping their fedoras and chuckling at their Greenskin slaves: "Heh, you still believe in Gork and Mork? Heh." And then they go home and write in their Books of Grudges: "Heh, the reason Elves refuse to date us is because we are nice guys, and fair Elven maidens only want Chads. Heh." Then they rub their bellies, say "heh" one last time, and go to sleep, dreaming about debunking all the pantheons of the other races. I'd play that!

I've waited for a video for so long. But I had no idea that you'd deliver so much in the form of the Chaos Dwarfs. One thing though - The Dawi would not deny the existence of the Chaos Dwarfs, because Dawi just don't lie. A dawi will not answer, grumble, tell you to mind your beeswax, or just kill you, but they would never lie and claim they don't exist. Still, excellent lore video! I love you the channel.

[@trailblazerlazerrazerd9027]

These guys really make me wish the Snow and Sea Elves were more substantiated. As well as another faction of Elves who fell into chaos and culturally devolved almost like the Crypt Ghuls or the Yehtees of the Ogres. Like a Wild Blood Elf faction, worshipping a god twisted by chaos itself. But the Dark Elves already kinda have a monopoly on that, especially torture and slavery. Although I mostly meant some Champions of Chaos stuff like skinning people alive and using their pelts for armor. The thing is that Vampires already rule the roost on Blood related stuff too. I still can't let go that there could probably be another sort of Dark Elf like faction inspired by the Chaos Dwarves. And these Elves would still largely be protected against Slaanesh reaping their souls to feast on them. Partly because the skins they wear hide their spirits from the God of Excess unless he sends his Demon hosts and worshippers to slay them and feed she who thirsts, personally. Like the Dwarves hating their mutant cousins, the Elves of other factions, even the Dark Elves wouldn't want to be around them.

[@JackRabbit002]

They have to be one of the cooler looking factions! Which need to be brought back into the realm of miniature. The New Warhammer Old World but most of Blood Bowl for me!! Something just cool about tainted Dwarfs Plus one of those narrators channeling Christopher Lee?!

Fantastic video got me all hyped for the dlc launch next month *logs Into warhammer 3*

[@Vakaria-plays]

As i am listening to this, i cant help but wonder. Is the existence of Chaos Dawi a living proof of what can happen when two or more of the chaos god brothers work together, Hashut, is either a minor chaos god, most likely belonging to Khorne given its nature and appearance. Khorne values the Dawis hard trained combat prowess, their dedication to becoming stronger, defeating their enemies, even when Khorne himself is one of their enemies, he also values their honor and discipline, but he could not corrupt them as they are resistant to magic influences, but what if Hashut (provided he is a minor diety or archdaemon of Khorne) was put in place with the help and manipulation of Khornes brother Tzeentch? Khorne desired to see the Dawi serving the chaos proving that no one is immune to the inlfuence of chaos, but he knew that they would never except him as their god, Tzeentch told him to provide them with another god that they could worship, one they did not know of until they were desperate for survival and to make it out alive, and to ''settle the grudges of their traitor kinsmen who abandoned them'' Khorne does not like manipulating his enemies, he views it as dishonest, but he also knew of the pride he could take in being able to break the Dawi at least in some way even if they dont worship him or any of his brothers, but he would still the mortal world that chaos can influence anyone, even the stuborn Dawi.
