Chaos Dwarfs Regiment of Renown melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs.
Recruitment[]
Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
Description[]
The Infernal Guard are drilled ceaselessly by their cruel Castellans, and barracked in the burning deeps beneath the Black Fortress. Their lot is to fight an unceasing battle against the horrors that abound in the desolate wastes nearby. The greatest amongst this warrior elite will be selected to join the Infernal Ironsworn – the personal bodyguard of the Sorcerer-Prophets of the Legion of Azgorh. Clad in blackshard armour forged not just from iron and fire but also from blood, souls and the very stuff of Chaos, they go into battle with the fire and suffering of their dark realm forged into the very fabric of their blades and hammers, graven in smouldering runes of torment and death.

- ▲ Undying Will: As long as this unit retains most of its overall hit points, entities within this unit will not die.

Strategy[]
The elite of the elite. The Immortals name is well earned. This unit is a powerful anchor piece and can take a massive beating before suffering any notable damage due to its stat spread and undying will preventing models from being destroyed easily. The immortals are best used to fight off infantry and reinforce your line even against overwhelming odds, while dishing out some good damage of their own. Be mindful of artillery and missile fire wearing this unit down. For Hashut!
