Hello fellow dawi! :D

I am looking for units that could be included in a slayer army but don't exist yet. Not as simple as Slayer-quarrellers.
Somethin unike. I was thinking of something like War-Mourners...... But i don't know the fluff behind them.......
Can someone help me make up some things?
List with ideas:

• War-Mourners
• Slayerpult
• ?????

PS: this is excluding all Storm o Chaos things, i know them already

Maybe 'SlayerRangers' with camouflage tattoos? Scouting the battlefield, getting in position to seek a glorious death

I may have an idea, but I'm not sure that dwarfs will like it !

I thought to a "slayer catapult" (dwarfs won't like to be thrown and servant may not want to send to death their fellows, that's why I said people won't like it ).

Instead of throwing stone blocks, the ammo can be slayers. BUT to not kill them, it can be a short range catapult. Different solution for the landed slayer :
- act as a fanatic (be killed after his damage) ;
- act as a doom-seeker (do his damage and stay alive) ;
- stay alive and act as a single unit ;
- maybe be killed on a misfire, something similar...

Edit : Oups, I just understand what you called a slayerpult... Sorry !
This can be an organ canon : http://www.coolminiornot.com/97205

I really like the Ungrim conversion !


If you want a "goblin thrower", you can inspire from this photo (just change the protagonists) :

Ok I have the background for an interesting character you might like.:

I have no specifics but its just an idea and I have no idea how it would fit with fluff

There was a dwarven bearling born with mis-matching eyes. Through his childhood it was clear he was the first ever dwarf to exhibit the seedings of magic. However being a dwarf he could not control his magic very well and there would often be destructive outbursts. However one outburst was so strong it obliterated his home and his family, there was virtually nothing left. He became a slayer, but also a level 2 wizard. He may choose from the lore of fire or life. And enscribe upto 4 slayer units with a protective 5+ ward save that they gain from the tatoos and warpaint he enscribes upon them


Just game up with it but what ever you think, he could even just simply be an exiled runesmith

Magic and dwarves don't go well, magic and slayers are even worse. I have a idea to give them w-saves already sganst shooting and magic. So dont worry about that. You must wait for my secriest of secrets untill you know where i'm jappin about. Kera and The Under Empire are the only one who knows untill now. But i will post it for your bret friends to if you want. Jus wait till it's finished.

Yh i knew dwarfs and magic didnt go well but i thought it might be fun and different!! nevermind

[Wendersnaven]

I may have an idea, but I'm not sure that dwarfs will like it !

OOO, ooo, you mean one of those headaches ... with pictures!? Conversions are great fun.

In Lord Damnit's Mighty Throng you can see he used Slayer Pirates as cannon crew. I think this would be excellent to man your cannon. Perhaps you can work out some kind of slayers holding stones for Grudgers and such. But for Gunpowder- definitely pirate slayers.

I'm waiting for Black Friday to get a digital camera, I made my own based on LDmt's idea. Check out his thread in the meantime.
