[Archive] Chaos Dwarfs attacking Praag

Grimstonefire:

We don’t have spoiler tags here, but it’s not really a major part of the Gotrek and Felix Kinslayer story at all.

Basically, Kislev has fallen as we know.  Praag was taken by Aekold and subsequently retaken by Throgg the Troll King

During the story it is constantly under siege from 10 different armies.  One of which is mentioned as being Chaos Dwarfs.  Besieging a gate with rockets and mortars and massed heavy infantry.

If anyone is curious I’ll type up a quote.

It does raise the question as to why take Praag?  A foothold in the west maybe?  It’s entirely unclear whether they are there working for someone else or on their own. It’s not exactly easy pickings for slaves with all the other armies and countless monsters occupying it.

GeofreyShank:

Well at least we know we were part of the end times.

I would love the quote if you don't mind sir! PM if people are wary of spoilers. Anything to keep the Chaos Dwarf drive alive!

Bloodbeard:

Some quotes or more details would be nice. I’m very glad we are mentioned. This has to go into our wikipedia as well.

If you wouldn’t mind, would you post ISBN, author, year etc. as well?

Admiral:

Now we’ve got Korakkagrak with his lava beasts, a Warpstone meteorite shower over the Dark Lands and Chaos Dwarfs participating in an attack on Praag. We’re not forgotten, folks. On the contrary, it seems Games Workshop and Black Library are throwing us more bones than used to be the case pre-Tamurkhan. :wink:

Good thing CDs show up to join what is presumably a united Chaos force.

GeofreyShank:

Clearly we are not on the black library contraband list anymore

Grimstonefire:

Five miles back from the East Gate and the killing fields littered with the bodies of Kurgan and Dolgan and other marauder tribes, Khorreg Hellworker watched with a grin as black as coal as a string of trolls pitched from artillery-scarred walls one by one into the Lynsk below.  Snowmelt screaming from the glowing fissures in his flesh, the daemonsmith bade the host of Zharr-Naggrund to attack.  The Dawi-Zharr were a patient and stubborn race, but the Troll King had denied them all for long enough.  At his word, the sky whined with a sudden onslaught of rockets and shells.  The walls of Praag shook to their foundation stones under the onslaught as block after block of remorseless heavy infantry marched on.

@Admiral

They are not a united chaos force, the Troll King describes them as 10 armies. It sounds like a lot of tribes all fighting to take the shelter/stronghold that Praag offers before they all die of the cold/starvation. Still not clear exactly why the CD are there, other than a base of operations presumably.

Firehammer:

Perhaps the author is not familiar with CD background or doesn’t care, as long as he can make cool name droppings in battle reports. Happens a lot in weaker BL novels.
