Description[]
Having sworn the sacred Slayer Oath, Doomseekers are honour-bound to never retreat from a fight, an unbreakable force that ploughs recklessly into the enemy while whirling their weapons madly around their heads. These Dwarfs are crazed, even by Slayer standards, giving them even more destructive and extreme capabilities. Armed with axes attached to lengths of chain, any foe unfortunate enough to stand in their way is cut down with devastating ferocity, and those who survive are often left with fewer limbs than they started with!
Attributes[]
- Dual Axe Infantry
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
- ▲ Fast (for a Dwarf): While Dwarfs are generally not the most nimble inhabitants of the Old World, they can move surprisingly fast when not slowed by heavy armour.
- ▲ Deathblow: Slayers are unbreakable and always fight to the bitter end – sometimes even beyond that! Imminent death only makes them fight harder. When killed in melee, Slayers launch a final attack with their dying breaths.

Strategy[]
An elite glass cannon infantry mulcher, Doomseekers need to be utilised even more carefully than most Slayer units. Most notably they have a very small model count but all the vulnerabilities of regular Slayers, meaning that if ranged or heavy large units are able to concentrate on them they will likely be decimated before they can be pulled to safety. For this reason they should be held back from your front line, where you can pick the ideal target for them when the enemy engages - which is any infantry at all. They can do very satisfactory damage against even the most elite in this category, and thanks to being a Slayer unit do not have to worry about any kind of psychological or dampening effect.
Although they probably shouldn't be the first Slayer unit you should invest in - anti-large is more useful to the Dwarfs - Doomseekers are a powerful tool against foes who are likely to bring plenty of heavily armoured foot soldiers, such as Warriors of Chaos.
