rabble Hundreds of thousands of slaves toil in the cruel workshops of the Chaos Dwarfs. Condemned to a lifetime of depraved, grueling labour and malnourishment, these broken thralls are beaten and battered while toiling day and night on empty stomachs, given only the minimum scraps of moldy bread and rancid water to keep them all but dead. Such is the necessity to maintain the glory of the Chaos Dwarf Empire! The bulk of the slave labour is made of lesser Goblinoids such as Gnoblars and Goblins, though even broken-in Orcs, Humans and Elves can be found among the atrocious labour camps known as Hell Pits. Charged as the overseers of the Hell Pits are the callous Hobgoblins, who take great delight in bullying and torturing the ‘Rabble’ thralls.

When the Chaos Dwarfs go the war, they bear with them hordes of Rabble to increase their number and act as living shields.

If a Rabble unit makes a march move and includes a Hobgoblin Taskmaster or Hobgoblin character, it may declare a forced march. This works as follows.

hobgoblin SPEAR CHUKKA
Lacking any real skill compared to that of the Chaos Dwarfs, Hobgoblins build clumsy devises and weapons, from wolf-pulled wagons to cruel devices designed only for the purpose of inflicting pain and torture upon their enemies. The Hobgobs carelessly lash wood and iron together resulting in crudely constructed contraptions, often lethal to both Hobgoblin and foe alike!
The most common war machine Hobgoblins construct is the potent spear chukka - a giant, lever-operated bow that fires huge bolts capable of penetrating deep into ranked formations of troops, skewering masses of soldiers at once or even dispatching a large beast in a single deadly shot.
Although crude and primitive compared to the arsenals of the Chaos Dwarfs, Hobgoblin spear chukkas can provide effective ranged support…that is, if they ever actually hit… Special Rules Treacherous Gits; Bolt Thrower
