BUILDING A CHAIN OF UNDERGROUND CHASMS title image.
Picture of Dwarf miniatures fighting Troll models over a bottomless chasm underground.
Deep in the ruins of the underway, Dwarfs bravely charge cross a chasm to get at their hated enemies.

The world is never truly at rest. The constant push and pull of forces below the surfaces of land masses often cause ruptures in the landscape. These tectonic shifts can be quite a problem for those who choose to dwell beneath mountains! As the tortured ground buckles and tears, emergent chasms can turn once-useful, Dwarf-hewn tunnels into extremely dangerous pitfalls. Besides the obvious dangers of tumbling into the yawning abyss, you just never know what'll crawl out of a newly formed chasm!

Chasms make great barriers that can split the battlefield and give your standard games of Warhammer or Warhammer Skirmish a fun twist. Generals will have to ponder the best way to navigate and utilize these natural formations to their advantage. The following pages show you how to make a series of simple chasms in a modular fashion — kind of like a big terrain jigsaw puzzle. This way, each time you use the pieces in a game, you can mix things up and get the most use from your hard work. So, gather the materials below (or substitute suitable replacements for stuff you don't have) and get to work!
