Axe & Oath

I decided to make some matching dice to go with this unique warband of mine

As a palette cleanser from my usual schedule, I have been working on a Mordheim Slayer Warband for an upcoming campaign set in the heart of Lustria.

The Slayer Air Corps assembled for a rare group muster.

• 6 Scoutcopters (4th edition gyrocopters) with Slayer-Pirate pilots
• 6 Gyrocopters (6th edition) with classic Slayer pilots
• 3 Gyrobombers built from Skydrakes by @durgin_paint_forge
• 1 scratch-built Gyro-Chinook
• 1… slightly used crashed Gyrocopter from @laserterrainco

Scoutcopters from the newest Dwarf Arcane Journal, and its Expeditionary Force Army of Infamy

I built these models from the classic 4th Edition Gyrocopters, chosen in part because, in my opinion, they already look halfway to being seaplanes. The pilots are converted Long Drong Slayer Pirates, armed with throwing harpoons to match the bolt thrower projectiles across the army.

Paint Recipe

Once a proud machine of Karak Kadrin, now a frozen scar on the battlefield.
This crashed Dwarven Gyrocopter serves as a Matched Play Special Feature in Warhammer: The Old World — an impassable landmark, heavy with story and grudges.

The pilot remains buckled in, snow and time claiming the wreck, its red-and-green livery still visible beneath chipped paint and weathered metal. Objectives don’t need to be magical to matter — sometimes they’re reminders of what was lost.

These are my Warhammer: The Old World Dwarf Slayer Doom Seeker Divers, counting as Grudge Throwers in my Slayer Army of Karak Kadrin. Entirely 3D designed and 3D printed, they are exactly what they sound like — catapults that launch Doomseekers at the enemy.

Each war machine is crewed by three Slayers:
• A Slayer Engineer
• A Slayer Spotter
• And Ammo No.2… another Doomseeker, converted from the classic Blood Bowl Slayer sculpt

Ammo No.1, of course, is a fully unhinged Doomseeker strapped into the basket and ready for a very short, very glorious flight.

The inspiration comes straight from Black Library’s Orcslayer in the Gotrek & Felix series, where Gotrek launches himself from a Bretonnian merchant vessel onto an Orc ship blockading Barak Varr. Ridiculous? Yes. Very Gotrek? Absolutely.

A little unorthodox for Dwarfs, but firmly Old World fun, and that’s what this army is all about.
