Editing Warhammer: Age of Sigmar (section)

====[[Fyreslayers]]====
[[File:FyreslayersCollectionsENG Slot3.jpg|thumb|Yes, they actually went there.]]
The Fyreslayers (formerly known as the Red Slayers, the name abruptly changed midway though production likely so it's easier to copyright; note how the impossible to copyright "fire" is spelled with a much more patent-friendly "fyre"), are a faction for Order that doesn't even really pay lip-service to it, unlike the Exiles (Dark Elves). They're mercenary Dwarfs, formerly the [[Slayers]], that worship Grimnir instead of Sigmar's buddy Grungni and won't help the Sigmarines and friends out unless paid in gold. So, in a world that was ripped to shreds from the sphincter out, these guys only care about gold. "Ur-Gold", specifically. Fyreslayers believe Ur-gold is made up of the shattered fragments of Grimnir, something fans predicted as soon as the lore dropped despite it being held as a reveal months later.
Ur in German means old or ancient, and given the fact Keepers of Secrets who think they can become the new Slaanesh call themselves the "Ur-Slaanesh", the word Ur seems to be synonymous with divinity or godhood in Age. It is worth to mention that in a 40k [[Black Library]] book and the 4th edition Ork Codex, an Ork character named Kaptin Badrukk had false teeth that were made of Ur-Gold as well. To quote, "[his teeth] are plated with an alloy of adamantium and priceless ur-gold stolen from the Palace of Undying Light" causing mass speculation once again that 40k and <strike>Fantasy</strike> Age will crossover in the future. In 40K, Ur-Gold is gold mined from Terra itself.

Fyreslayers were created by the battle between Grimnir and Vulcatrix, and aggressively spread throughout all of the Realms to bring the gift of volcanoes and Grudges. They are now divided by Lodges rather than Holds, and each Lodge is essentially led by a supreme leader called a Runefather and his many, many MANY sons. Its ultimately up to each Runefather to decide who the Lodge fights, who they ally with, and who is lying about not having gold. Every single plane a Lodge is established in changes it greatly; the generic Slayer-like Fyreslayers hail from the Realm of Fire, but Fyreslayers in the Realm of Shadow are more like Dwarf Dark Elves while those in the Realm of Death would be like stunty Nehekharans... if only...

Zharrgrim is the name of the religion of the Fyreslayers, Auric Runemasters are the priesthood . They are personally responsible for the gold madness of their kin. Auric Runefathers command the Runemasters. The Runefather's children are the Auric Runesons, who rule in his name as the nobility although only one can replace him if he dies; the rest must either become ineligible to ever become a Runefather (so no Dwarf Hamlet) or strike out on their own to form a new Lodge, like Dwarfy queen bees. All subgroups within Lodges are called Fyrds which are each led by a Runeson, and represent the models you will be putting on the table. The entirety of the Fyrd militaries of a Lodge are called the Grand-fyrd and represent the thousands of Fyrds assembled (so to be a Runefather, you need to be quite fertile). It falls on the Runefather to dispense gold to his people on a personal basis, as too little or too much will drive them mad. They also have GeeDubs trend of spamming theme words as the fiery Fyreslayers fire things with their flaming firestaffs just like the storming Stormcast with their stormy stormhammers and the wolfy Space Wolves with their wolfish wolfguns.

So Fyreslayers are stupid, and dicks, but they're ''Sigmar's'' stupid dicks...except they aren't, because they'll work for Chaos against Sigmar too if given a better counter-offer.
At any rate, the previous gold fever of the Warhammer Dwarfs is now magnified tenfold; Duardin may give no fucks about the lures of Chaos, but gold corrupts them and drives them to outright madness now. Grudges no longer mean anything once gold is involved, but the Fyreslayers still put a great emphasis on honour and oaths. It's just that nine times out of ten, the only way to get a Fyreslayer to make an oath is to offer him some gold. That said, Fyreslayers are as serious about oaths as classic Dwarfs ever were, one story involves a Runefather who swears an oath to never part from his fallen son's Magmadroth until the Chaos Lord who killed him is dead, and he sticks to this oath even as the Chaos Lord's juggernaut pins the Magmadroth upside down and the Runefather has to drop his guard and allow the Chaos Lord to impale him in order to hang on to the lava dinosaur, ''and he still kills the Chaos Lord before dying and falling from the saddle.'' Say what you want, but the dedication to oaths that these guys have is as hardcore as the Dwarfs of old. Another Runefather even refused the promised payment of ur-gold because the Fyreslayers failed in the mission they were hired to complete, and would only accept payment once their oaths to complete their mission were fulfilled. That said, enough ur-gold can convince a Fyreslayer to do almost anything. ''Oaths are oaths, but gold is gold.''

[[Awesome|So yes, Warhammer Duardin are now Dwarf Fortress Dwarves if they have red hair and lava blood]].

Runes are far more important now, and are often forged directly into the skin of Duardin using Ur-Gold.

Fyreslayers seem to have taken the often shirtless quality of the Slayers to an extreme. They now prefer thongs and aprons as attire.

One thing to note is that despite there being two Incarnates of Fire in [[The End Times]], one a dwarf and one an elf, there's no sign of any <s>fire-elves</s> fyre-aelves. Yet...

Strangely, despite the fact that the fecundity of the fyreslayers is a big thing, given how the ruler of each clan is a literal patriarch to his people with potentially dozens if not hundreds of sons, we still know all of jack shit about the existence of fyreslayer women, although the novels do say they exist.
