Dwarf Axes and Black Dwarfs/Chaos Dwarfs

Hi,

I just noticed that Chaos Dwarfs do not have Dwarf Axes in their starting equipment. Is this an oversight? In the Spoils of War section of BTB it lists that Dwarf Axes are available to Dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs and so it seems odd that Chaos Dwarfs can buy Dwarf Axes later in a campaign but not at warband creation. I've told my Black Dwarf player that he can purchase Dwarf Axes at warband creation and if that turns out to be a house rule then that is OK but if it turns out to be the intent of the rules then even better.

Looking forward to your response, Cianty!

Please remove the "Chaos Dwarfs" bit in the Spoils of War section; in other words: Chaos Dwarfs do not have access to Dwarf Axes.

Oh snap.

Yeah. I honestly didn't expect that answer. I have had to pass the bad news on to my Black Dwarf player. I've given him the choice of keeping the Dwarf Axe that he has already equiped his Sorceror with but removing access to any more Dwarf Axes in the future. I don't know if he liked that but oh well! Thanks for clearing it up.

Well, he can use Obsidian weapons instead.

Don't worry I'm not complaining.

And Obsidian weapons??? I couldn't find a reference to Obsidian weapons in their warband rules or in the Spoils of War for BTB.

Oh yeah, my fault. The latest errata isn't up yet.
Chaos Dwarfs will be getting an obsidian weapon in order to bring them in line with the (otherwise poor) Spanish chaos dwarf warband list.

Sweet! I look forward to that errata then.

Sorry to bump but what are the rules for obsidian weapons or when will the errata be released? My Black Dwarf player is eager!

I am working on updating some PDFs right. Maybe we can put out the revised edition of the supplement in the next days...

Hey sorry if this has been covered in another thread, but was wondering in my chaos dwarf warband rules it says that i can buy a "chaos dwarf axe" from the armory, untill now i assumed that it was just refering to a dwarf axe but based on this thread i was wrong, what should i amend that weapon to? or at least where can i find the rules for this item

edit: ignore this i just found the proper rules for the black dwarfs

Glad you found the rules and welcome!
