Editing Chaos Dwarfs (section)

===Big Hats===
As you've gathered, the Chaos Dwarfs have a thing for wearing tall elaborate headgear. There are three main styles: Cylinder, Cylinder flared on the top and Onion shaped, which are usually adorned with spikes, bronze skulls, horns and iconography of Chaos, Hashut and Zharr-Naggrund. As to why they do this, it's most likely to assert status and dominance over others. The biggest exception to the Big Hats rule are the Infernal Guard, who are criminals burdened by great shame. Going by Total War Warhammer, they also have something of a Napoleon complex that regular Dwarfs don't.

IRL the reason for this is pretty straightforward: Chaos Dwarfs are modelled on ancient Mesopotamians and the Ancient Mesopotamians often wore cylindrical hats, especially the upper strata. Taking it and dialing it up was a simple thing to do. Besides, it gives them something distinctive even in silhouette. The Big Hats are goofy, over the top, iconic and generally people love them.
