Content pack: Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs. Immortal Empires ownership
Factions and leaders
Disciples of Hashut
Leader: Astragoth Ironhand.
Astragoth leads the Disciples of Hashut. The High Priest combines spellcasting with a mechanical fighting frame and the shared Chaos Dwarf industry and Tower of Zharr systems.
The Legion of Azgorh
Leader: Drazhoath the Ashen.
Drazhoath commands the Legion of Azgorh from his identity as Lord of the Black Fortress. Choose him for a Sorcerer-Prophet who combines Hashut magic with a Bale Taurus mount option.
The Warhost of Zharr
Leader: Zhatan the Black.
Zhatan leads the Warhost of Zharr as a melee commander. His army uses the same industrial economy, convoys and political competition as the other Chaos Dwarf factions.
Playing Chaos Dwarfs in Immortal Empires
Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs is the paid campaign pack that unlocks this race and its Legendary Lords: Astragoth Ironhand, Drazhoath the Ashen and Zhatan the Black. Own the pack on the same storefront as your campaign access. Owning the WARHAMMER III base game alone leaves these playable factions locked.
Immortal Empires is their sandbox campaign. In The Realm of Chaos, the pack instead follows the Great Drill of Hashut and the theft and corruption of Dwarfen relics. That story has its own objectives rather than the Ursun race.
Outposts, factories and Labour
Outposts mine Raw Materials. Factories consume those materials to produce Armaments or income, while Towers provide a centre for recruitment and development. Expand the supply chain together: another factory can strain the mines that feed it.
Labour represents an enslaved workforce captured through warfare or acquired through Military Convoys. A province needs enough workers for its mines, and Control affects losses from that workforce. Use the Labour panel to inspect shortages and move workers between provinces before committing to more production.
Armaments and the Hell-Forge
The Hell-Forge connects industry to army composition. Its Armoury spends Armaments to expand unit capacity; its Manufactory applies enhancements to unit categories. Recruitment buildings and available capacity are separate checks when you add more Chaos Dwarf troops.
Enhancements also draw on Armaments production. Keep enough output for the forces you already maintain before expanding several categories at once. Infernal Guard provide a fighting line, while K'daai Fireborn give that line a monstrous assault element.
Tower seats and Military Convoys
Spend Conclave Influence on seats in the Tower of Zharr. Seats reward individual factions, while completing a District rewards the Chaos Dwarfs collectively. Rivals can contest seats, so a political gain also changes your relationship with the other industrial powers.
Military Convoys exchange weapons and other cargo for resources. Choose their destination around a shortage you need to solve, and treat the convoy force as an army that may have to fight on its journey.
Protect the guns, support the assault
Use armoured infantry to keep enemies away from your shooting positions. Leave clear lanes for firearms and artillery, then commit monsters where the enemy is already occupied. Sending every unit forward together can block the guns that make the formation dangerous.
Gorduz Backstabber supports a Hobgoblin force within a Chaos Dwarf campaign. His role gives you another way to organise an army alongside the industrial roster; he joins a lord's army as a Legendary Hero.
Three Chaos Dwarf stories
Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs unlocks Astragoth Ironhand, Drazhoath the Ashen, and Zhatan the Black. Astragoth is the High Priest. Drazhoath holds the Black Fortress and wants Zharr-Naggrund. Zhatan commands the Tower of Zharr for Ghorth the Cruel.
Their lore pages keep the industrial campaign apart from those introductions. The Realm of Chaos story is the Great Drill of Hashut. Gorduz Backstabber remains the pack's legendary hero.
