Editing Slayer (section)

==Age of Sigmar==
In [[Age of Sigmar]], Slayers changed to be "[[Fyreslayers]]" which lost the half naked tattoos and suicidal obsession, replacing it with half naked runes, [[Vulkan]] levels of obsession with fire and Dwarf levels of obsession with gold. Conversely, the old Slayers are now renamed as Unforged. In place of having taken an oath, they were greatly affected by Chaos' incursions, causing them to become PTSD-driven suicidal killing machines.

Fyreslayers were born when Grimnir got so bored in a "no Chaos allowed" utopia that [[Sigmar]] had to find something for him to fight. He was sent to fight the mother of all volcanoes, and their battle caused both to explode and rain down across all eight Realms. Out of that explosion were born the Fyreslayers, <strike>Dwarfs</strike> "Duardin", which are Dwarfs under a [[ChapterHouse Studios|copyrightable name]], that are partially made of fire (but also mutagenically take on characteristics from their environment when they spread out of the Realm of Fire despite always looking exactly the same in artwork). These Fyreslayers obsessively search for "Ur-Gold", the physical fragments of Grimnir, which drives them insane with lust to even un-Dwarfy behavior such as allying with Chaos in exchange for some. Their priesthood force Ur-Gold into the bodies of Fyreslayers in the form of tattoos that sate their gold lust and grant them powers. But it is the duty of the priesthood to see to the sanity of their kin without giving too much or too little. 
Fyreslayers retain none of the cultural values of Slayers, but do retain the shirtlessness and giant weapon wielding. They push the look even further with exposed buttcheeks behind their aprons and hats somewhat reminiscent of Romans. 
Good news? Fyreslayers now have PROPER slayers, or at least something close, with both Doomseekers, and Grimwrath Berserkers. 

Fyreslayers caused quite a bit of mockery when it was revealed that many of their models are "mirrored", which means they were designed digitally and copy/pasted rather than sculpted lovingly in different poses. 

The king of every hold is the literal father of a long line of sons, who themselves are the fathers of almost the entire Hold (so the lower born, the less likely you are to get laid). New Holds are created when the sons decide to leave and become kings themselves, and in this way the Fyreslayers can be summarily categorized as "Dorf Bees". 

===On The Tabletop===
Despite their appearance, gameplay wise Fyreslayers are the opposite of Slayers. Slayers were elite glass cannon units that killed quick and died quicker. Fyreslayers are best taken in massive hordes (despite how expensive their models are), thanks to their Ur-Gold runes have suprisingly good defenses despite being half-naked, but don't have high rend or damage. Their widespread use of throwing axes also means they are effective at mid-range.

===In the RPG===
In [[Age of Sigmar Roleplay]], the "Old School Slayer" is reinvented in the form of two oaths; ''Barazakdum'' and ''Grimnyn''. ''Barazakdum'', meaning "The Doom Oath", is the old-school Slayer's Oath reborn; a disgraced Duardin of the Fyreslayers faction who has vowed to amend their dishonor by dying in glorious battle. This oath is mechanically reinforced by the Doomseeker archetype, which is basically the game's equivalent to the old-school Slayer career path of [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]]. In contrast, ''Grimnyn''is "The Oath of Destiny"; translating directly as "fated wanderer", a duradin who has sworn ''Grimnyn'' has sworn to pursue a new purpose in life by walking the bloody road of the adventurer. In a sense, it's like if being a Slayer had an option to declare their oath fulfilled whilst they still lived. Most duardin on the path of ''Grimnyn'' are Fyreslayers whose Runefathers died without declaring a new heir to lead their lodge, and they are most likely of fyreslayers to undergo the magical ritual and become Soulbound.

As a whole, Soulbound Fyreslayers are unusual; beyond the suspiciousness of agreeing to serve other deities than Grimnir, the rite that transforms an ordinary mortal into a fledgling hero-god also ''sterilizes'' the Soulbound, which is something that the average Fyreslayer would balk at considering how important getting a wife and siring tons of kids is to them!
