Another week, and yet more Dwarfs are headed your way. Here’s the latest skuttlebutt boys and girls on the short, tough ones…

Dwarven Rules:
Ancestral Grudge – hatred Skaven/Greenskins; everyone else has a chart.
Dwarf Made – Re rolls
Resolute – +1 Strength on the charge
Relentless – no leadership for marching close to an enemy
Shieldwall – +1 parry when charged

Warriors: Stayed the same but with the new rules above.
Thunders/Quarrlers: +1 point, with new rules above and heavy armor
Longbeards: new rules above + old longbeard rules, +1 point, no longer 1 unit for every unit of warriors.

Hammers: don’t remember points but looked the same; if general is present in unit, any, ANY model can accept a challenge.

Iron Breakers: pretty much the same, +1 parry bonus always!, stacks with Shieldwall rule, so 4+ ward save if charged!

Gyrobomber thing: in movement phase can drop bombs (place large blast, scatter, if it still hits a unit it passed over then resolve wounds, scatter from the center hole again with a small blast as bomb bounces). In the shooting phase it can shoot its cannon.

New Unit – IronDrakes (Rare): Good stat line, handheld flame cannon (str5, 18″, armor piercing, dwarf made, flaming attacks, ), they also have armor gromil-proven armor (I think) that gives 4+/6+ward/2+ward vs. flaming attacks.

Added characters: (2) seen in white dwarf weekly, Ungrim Slayer-King, Joseph Bugman, High King Thorgrim, don’t remember if Thorek is in there.

So a bit of an update. These are torn from the pages of the book that is due February 15th. I cannot post the images to keep my source safe, Natfka safe, etc.

No plastic slayers. This doesn’t mean they aren’t coming (because we don’t have finecast versions and still metal) in plastic; just means that at the time of the books production they were not ready or painted. We have seen this before.


The new White Dwarf should be out today, and we still have another week of releases coming up – then onto the Astra Munitorum!
