I like collecting matching dice for my armies. I have the slayer cult symbol on some red dice for my Karak Kadrin army, and recently ordered a custom set for my Lustrian Dwarfs.
That got me thinking, what other cool symbols could be used.
That all said, what would you put on a custom set of dice?
I was rewatching the North Pole special. I know Clarkson and May "won" but did Hammond eventually reach the North Pole?
I asked last week about peoples thoughts on potential rules for Norse Dwarfs to no interest but that has not put me off. I started drafting up an Arcane Journal for our cousins in the north.
I am really aiming for feel and flavour. What I have seen from most arcane journals is limited scope in army composition, around 3 special rules for the army, and a new unit.
The army wide special rules are heavily inspired by Royal Clan.
The beserkers I really wanted to differentiate from Slayers so went Skirmishers. I took the Battle Packs rule from the 6th Ed Beastmen which I felt had the right vibe.
Then some Norscan Runes for fun. The Master Tattoo is designed in my head to make a Skirmishing Hammerer/Longbeard Unit

A friend and I are working on a fan-made Arcane Journal for the Norscan Dwarfs tentatively titled the 'Norscan Dwarf Holds' and we’re trying to create rules for the Dwarf Berserkers.
From the lore, they seem distinct from traditional Slayers:
Mechanically, I want them to feel more like fast-moving, wild northern raiders than doom-seeking Slayers.
Current thoughts:
Overall, less “unbreakable death cult” and more “battle frenzy” but simultaneously trying to avoid simply making “Slayers but better.”
What rules, special abilities, or drawbacks would you give Dwarf Berserkers to distinguish them from regular Slayers?
Would love your thoughts
