The Great Book of Curses
“I do not hold a grudge against my enemy…
“Grudges” are what the western traitors hold. As if by tallying one’s failures to enact revenge in a timely manner is a sign of honour and strength. Only fool allows a slight to go unchallenged.
I have no such book in my towers…although there is perhaps one work in my library that serves a similar, yet more direct purpose.
“Garuz Dumshkal Fowmanz” The great book of curses I believe it is called in your tongue.
It is bound in daemon skin and inked with sacred cuneiform. It contains within its pages, the greatest of my curses, reserved for my most hated of foes.
Incantations and secret daemonic rites, hand crafted to torment, weaken and bring ruin upon those whom I wish to destroy are penned in ink of liquid magic.
Where the western Dawi wait out their time, growing fat and embittered in their mountain holds, the Uzkul-Dhrath-Zharr work the stuff of chaos, bend it to our will and force it bring about the downfall of those who have done us wrong.
To find yourself in the book of curses is to be marked to die, either by the blades of my infernal guard or to wither and rot from the inside, preyed upon by the never-born who do my will.
I do not hold a grudge, I simply take my vengeance without hesitation. I curse you…And you die.
Look upon my works and despair”

The Great Book of Curses
Welcome CDO Gamer to the “Great Book of Curses”
Think of this as a chaos dwarfs answer to the Great Book of Grudges.
This new and exciting addition to our battle report section is a place for you to record any embarrassing losses, terrible dice roles, encounters with overpowered enemy heroes or moments of bad luck that simply cannot go unpunished in your games.
To add to the great book of curses simply post below, explain briefly what happened in your game that must not go unpunished and then come up with a creative curse to go alongside it.
Hashut will, I am sure, answer your pleas and strike down those who have done you wrong.
NOTE: this is a bit of fun. Curse enemy models (or your own if they let you down) but not actual human opponents please! No matter how beardy your opponent is, seeing their name on an internet list of curses is probably not very nice haha
To illustrate how I envision this thread to be used I will begin with a recount of my first ever game of 8th edition where I was utterly destroyed and I believe that a curse was probably in order…
