[Archive] Tuomas Pirinen's Ashodar Enslavers Full Fluff

tvandyke:

ASHODAR ENSLAVERS

House Ashodar sends relatively few warriors to battle, but these fighters are fearsome indeed. They are known as the Enslavers and the enemies of Zharr-Naggrund fear them more than any other force in he Chaos Dwarf amry. Enslavers go to war for one reason only: to capture the greatest possible number of new slaves. Slaves are important to all Chaos Dwarfs, but House Ashodar is obsessed with keeping the control fo the Slave trade throughout the Empire of Zharr-Naggrund. Enslavers are very strong and extremely cruel. In battle they wield heavy chaines and carry wickedly curved scimitars which they use to hamstring the enemies so they can be captured after the battle and dragged off to slavery.

A pity they don’t have something that reflects their fluff, like a rule that lets them get double victory points (or somesuch) for a run-down enemy unit.

The fluff I posted was from the Beastiary. In the Army List section it says this:

"Your army may include any number of Chaos Dwarf Slavers. Slavers are Warriors of House Ashodar, experts at crippling their opponents with their spiked chains so that they may be captured later and dragged to slavery.
M WS BS S T W I A LD
Slaver 3 4 3 4 4 1 2 1 9

Weapons/Armour: Slavers wear heavy armour made from metal scales. They carry heavy chains and scimitars (count as two hand weapons).
Save: 5+
Options: None"

So, basically, they're regular warriors with a +1 bump in strength with two hand weapons (so they get two attacks). Other than than, no special rules. I noticed that in the Army list section they're called "Slavers" but in the Beastiary they're called "Ashodar Enslavers". This thing was obviously in the early stages of playtesting. There could have been a lot that changed if a real book had been produced.

Yes, no doubt.
I'm particularly intrigued that they have houses, which tends to imply that Tuomas envisaged CD retaining something similar to the Dwarf clan system.
