It's time to exploit the means of production and dive deeply and dive dark into the stone hearts of the DAWI ZHARR (Chaos Dwarfs to their friends.)

Rob is a long time massive fan of these twisted little freaks, and we hope you'll enjoy our leisurely trapse through their LEGENDARY Renegade PDF available on Games Workshop's website.

Sit back, strap in, and prepare to get a lethal amount of productivity out of your "labour force"
