About the Project
This project is a reimagining of a classic Dwarf army into an all-Slayer force, bringing the fierce and tragic warriors of Warhammer Fantasy to life in a unique and thematic way. Each unit in the army, from the Slayer-Rangers to Slayer-Gyrocopters, has been carefully converted to embody the relentless spirit and tragic honor of the Dwarven Slayers. Beyond just crafting custom models, the project delves deep into the lore, weaving rich narratives and campaigns like "The Cursed Oath" to give this army a distinct identity. This project aims to create a visually striking and deeply immersive army that not only stands out on the battlefield but also tells a compelling story of sacrifice, vengeance, and unyielding resolve.

I got myself a golden button. Didn’t think my dwarfs would get any attention here so thank you
Balkrag Grimgorson
Not all of the Undead beneath Karak Azgal are evil. Some have returned from death and still desire to do what is right. Balkrag is one such soul. He gained fame in life in an ironic twist of fate. Wanting only to cover a personal shame and the release of death, he chose the Slayer’s path. He proved too tenacious a warrior to go quietly and his skills in battle grew until he was almost without peer. An attack by Chaos Dwarfs on Karak Azgal brought him face-to-face with a Daemon. He slew the creature, thwarting the attack, but lost his own life in the process. As a reward for his brave deeds, he was buried in the Hall of Heroes and his name became legendary.
His rest, though, would not remain undisturbed. Koros the Liche summoned Balkrag’s spirit back from death, imprisoning it in the Dwarf‘s remains. Though he was powerless to stop his return, he was too strong of spirit to allow the necromancer to control him. He escaped from the Hall of Bones, vowing to destroy the Liche before again returning to the sleep of death. The Daemonslayer wanders the ruins of Karak Azgal now, trying to find the help he needs to defeat the Liche.
His condition as a Wight has obviously made this difficult. He is four feet tall, wields a two-handed axe, and wears no armour. He appears to be a skeleton, but his face is gruesome to behold, with rotting flesh still clinging to his skull and his orange spiked hair rising from the top of his head. Still, he sees this as only a minor inconvenience, believing fully that the Dwarf gods will send him help to vanquish his sworn foe.
