Searching for the Slayers | Warhammer Fantasy Dwarfs

Dwarfs of the Warhammer Old World have long been known as proud, brave, ale-drinking, oath-swearing warriors, but there’s also always been a small population of wild, orange-haired, maniacs, seeking doom in every glorious battle! The slayers feel like one of the most iconic and long-lasting aspects of Warhammer lore, and yet they weren’t there from the start. So where did they come from?

I try to trace the earliest appearances of dwarf berserkers and their evolution in the slayers that we know and love. Starting with Warhammer Fantasy Battle, passing through Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and of course pausing to hang out with Gotrek and Felix, the journey from Tolkienesque stoic Dwarfs to Age of Sigmar’s entire race of slayers has been an interesting one!
