Grimstonefire:
As AoS is not limited to armylists any more (afaik), I wonder if we could get FW to release scrolls for regular Chaos Dwarf Warriors?
They could just put them on the Infernal Guard page. Or in a larger PDF?
Thommy H:
Or just use the Dwarf Warriors scroll. I don’t think they’ll produce any rules for units without models. That’s how the GW ones work anyway - anything without a model gets a “counts as” at the end of each list.

Thommy H:
Yeah, it’s stuff that was in Armies books but which doesn’t have current models I think. Things people might conceivably have converted for themselves or have an old model for, but which they don’t technically “have” to support.
BeeZharr:
I’m going to make my own wars rolls. Not having to worry about points means it ought to be a doddle.
Thommy H:
Yeah, I’m already working on some. Playing with the format at the moment - thankfully the graphics are nice and easy to grab from the existing PDFs!
Grimstonefire:
Me too, well, one for CD warriors anyway. very easy.
Incidentally, anyone know what the Slaves to Darkness rule thing refers to?
Dînadan:
I'll check in a MO, but i think I saw a special rule/command ability on one of the characters that effected it.

a dice. If the result is 4 or more, set up a new Slave to Darkness unit so that all its models are within 5" of one edge of the battlefield. This unit is added to your army as reinforcements.

Thommy H:
Slaves to Darkness is a tag on most of the Warriors of Chaos units. Basically tags are just things to create synergy with other rules and command abilities - so the idea is the Chaos Lord can summon more troops to battle, of which the Hellcannon just happens to be one example.
Your warscroll looks good, Grim! The font in the headers is Fritz Quadrata though, if you want to match the GW style more closely. I’m still working on my first one - I’m having fun trying to get the tables and text boxes to line up how I want…
Grimstonefire:
I thought the main font is quite boring so went for my own personal favourite for all things Chaos Dwarf “Blade II”). As in the font used for Blade the film.
Are you writing yours an extension of Chaos, or in their own right? Or both?
Dînadan:
Are you writing yours an extension of Chaos, or in their own right? Or both?No reason for him not to make them both - Daemons for example can be summoned by any Chaos Wizard which includes not just Daemon Wizards, but WoC and beast wizards too. It all comes down to what keywords you use ;)
Grimstonefire
Doombeard:
So Daemonsmiths can summon demon stuff? Lets hope so
Thommy H:
The tags I’ve used so far are: Chaos, Duardin and Dawi’Zharr. So they’ll count as Chaos and be able to summon daemons if you have them!
I’m following my book so far, but it’ll be generic enough to field a Legion of Azgorh army. I’m not very far because I’m having to grok the system as I go. On the ridden monsters, for example, I’m following the template of the Arachnarok spider - so you have the basic monster profile, and you can upgrade it to be ridden by the character. Great Taurus and Bale Taurus will probably be rolled into one entry, I’m thinking. That’ll make my life fractionally easier!

BeeZharr:
Nice work Tommy H - much better looking than mine…
It’s interesting how we all have different takes on how units could work. Here’s my attempts so far.
TheHoodedMan:
Great idea to make warscrolls, thanks to you both.
I think its better to correspond only to tags in regard to rules. Does the tag “flammable” exist?
I read some skaven warscrolls; their wizard can cast two spells; the sorcerer-prophets should have the ability to cast two spells, too ;).
Im sure well come to a solution if forge world doesn`t.
Thommy H:
No flammable tag that I’ve seen. Actually I’m struggling with that a bit, because Flaming Attacks (and a ward save against them) is such a go-to special rule for Chaos Dwarfs and there’s no equivalent. Age of Sigmar is also a little limited in terms of how many variables there are to represent giving a unit a bonus like that. I think I’m coming up with some good stuff though.
What’s interesting is that, while in Warhammer the profile is really what defines a unit or character’s abilities, in AoS, it’s very much their special rules (or “Abilities”) that differentiate units. There’s quite a lot of scope for coming up with new stuff.
BeeZharr:
Great idea to make warscrolls, thanks to you both.These are good points. There isn't a flammable tag, but in a narrative driven game it should be easy enough to figure out what is likely to burn or not. However, there's probably a better alternative.

I gave the Sorcerer-Lord one spell in line with the Chaos Sorcerer-Lord. Would two be a bit greedy...?
Losing the stat line is really liberating in thinking up new rules. It's great fun actually.
