Total War: Warhammer III · Chaos Dwarfs
Chaos Dwarfs
Malign, dark-souled and merciless, Chaos Dwarfs are known in legend as a warrior race of Daemonsmiths, craftsmen and brutal killers who have dominated the northern reaches of the Dark Lands for thousands of years.

Long separated from their fading kin of the west, the Dawi-Zharr have given themselves over to their dark master Hashut and allowed Chaos to work its twisted terrors on their minds and souls, transforming them into a calculatingly cruel reflection of what they once were. They are deeply learned in the sorcerous arts and obsessed with the control of hellish forces and fires of the deep earth, combining dark lore with artisanship and skill for metalwork and industry. Thus, the Chaos Dwarfs have produced a bewildering variety of strange and infernal war engines, Daemon-bound weapons and deadly tools of war, and their power grows still.
In-game description.
Chaos Dwarfs mechanics
Campaign
Build Outposts, Factories and Towers to create an interconnected Industrial economy, whilst claiming Seats of power within Zharr-Naggrund's political battlegrounds to gain powerful bonuses for your faction.
Battle
Chaos Dwarf armies are highly flexible and wear many hats. A heavily-armoured, fire-resistant frontline is bolstered by a cheap caste of Labourers and Hobgoblin lackeys that serve as a bulwark for powerful gunpowder weaponry and long-range artillery trains. This flexibility is further augmented by powerful bound fire Daemons, flying monsters and even cavalry.
The game's own playstyle notes for this race.

Zhatan the Black
The Warhost of Zharr
Blackened Heart, Blacker SoulBlackened Heart, Blacker SoulMercilessly sadistic, even for a Chaos Dwarf in service of Ghorth the Cruel, Zhatan's epithet is a most apt description of his heartless nature – borne out, of course, by his peerless reputation for brutality.
