- Included in Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, the campaign pack that unlocks Astragoth Ironhand, Drazhoath the Ashen and Zhatan the Black in Immortal Empires.
- Gorduz is paid pack content. His recruitment mission takes place inside a Chaos Dwarf campaign; owning another Chaos race does not grant this hero.
Recruit him within a Chaos Dwarf campaign
Gorduz belongs to Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs. In Immortal Empires he can join the Disciples of Hashut, the Legion of Azgorh or the Warhost of Zharr through his campaign mission. Select one of those Legendary Lords to begin the campaign; Gorduz supports an existing army.
Follow the Gorduz mission in the campaign panel and complete its displayed objective. His recruitment story concerns a Labour rebellion and a Hobgoblin whose betrayals caught the attention of the Chaos Dwarf rulers.
Gorduz supports an existing Chaos Dwarf lord. He has no faction on the campaign-selection screen and no independent starting settlement. Follow his recruitment mission when it appears, using the mission panel’s Hobgoblin recruitment objective.
After recruitment, consider which army is actually using Hobgoblins before assigning him. His support is a reason to maintain a Hobgoblin force alongside your other armies, rather than placing every named character in the force with the most expensive troops.
Attack an occupied enemy
Gorduz's skills support Hobgoblin troops in his army. Put him with the force that uses those troops so the support reaches the soldiers you recruited him to help. An army built around Chaos Dwarf infantry and war machines has different support needs.
He carries close-combat weapons and has a Giant Wolf mount option. Use friendly troops to occupy an enemy before sending him into the fight. Watch the path back to the formation rather than leaving him alone among several enemy units.
Use Gorduz’s stealth and opportunistic fighting to help troops that have already engaged. A flank or an isolated opponent gives him a clearer job than a frontal duel against the strongest enemy character.
His Giant Wolf mount gives him a different way to move with the army. Keep nearby Hobgoblin troops involved in the engagement and leave a path out if the enemy turns to surround him. Survival is more valuable than staying in a losing fight simply because he is a Legendary Hero.
A survivor among backstabbers
Gorduz has outlived other Hobgoblin chieftains through suspicion, cunning and luck. His scarred body reflects that history of surviving rivals. His background explains the name; his campaign role gives a Hobgoblin army a named supporter.
Infernal Guard and K'daai Fireborn remain Chaos Dwarf roster choices alongside the Hobgoblins. Use them for their own infantry and monstrous assault roles when planning the wider force.
Gorduz’s game biography presents a Hobgoblin chieftain who has outlasted rivals through suspicion, cunning and luck. His scars record the hazards of that position. He is a Hobgoblin in a Chaos Dwarf roster, rather than a Chaos Dwarf himself.
