Dwarfs are a grim and exceptionally proud people. They respect three things above all other: age, wealth and skill. The Dwarf Guilds are the most powerful groups within their society. When the descendants of Skalf Dragonslayer set up residence in part of the ruins of Karak Asgal the various Guilds started to send expeditions. Some went to practise their trade but others were simply treasure hunters. The Miners’ Guild Over the years many of the old tunnels have fallen into disrepair. They have despoiled by the Grobi and the filthy Skaven have dug their own inferior headings. The miners are here to set about clearing tunnels and blocking off the new ways. They are also drawn by the possibility of finding precious minerals. The Engineers’ Guild The Engineers help to reconstruct the ancient fortifications. The original Dwarf work was of course built to last forever but the dragon and the other invaders did not treat it with the respect it deserved. They will also repair and maintain the weapons used by the Dwarf colony. Dwarf made weapons and armour are always in demand. The Brewers’ Guild No Dwarf settlement could last long without beer. Real Dwarf ale cannot be made by just anyone, the recipes are a closely guarded secret. The most famous Dwarf brew is the renowned Bugman’s XXXXXX. It is rumoured that several barrels were amongst the treasure sealed in the depths when Karak Asgal was abandoned. To find just one such barrel would ensure any Dwarf’s fame and fortune. SPECIAL RULES All of the special rules from Town Crier 6 (or Best of Town Crier) apply apart from Incomparable Miners. Shame: If a Dwarf hero is taken OOA any of the following circumstances the Dwarf is so ashamed by his failure that he becomes a Trollslayer. Only by seeking honourable death in combat can he redeem himself. The Dwarf loses any special abilities, eg "Leader", but keeps any skills he got. The Dwarf is Immune to Psychology. The Dwarf has also access to the special Trollslayer skills in the Mordheim rulebook. Except for the leader, his place may be taken by another Dwarf at the next recruiting phase. If the leader becomes a Trollslayer you must choose another leader as if he had died. A Dwarf hero will consider any of the following to be shameful: - To be taken OOA
in the Dwarf player's first or second turn (that
must be frustrating for the Dwarf as he got no
chance to get rid of some grudges). Miners: Miners are particularly adept at finding their way underground and at need will make new tunnels. Up to 3 models (man sized - no ogres etc) may be deployed anywhere on the table at the end of the first turn. They may not be placed closer than 8" from any enemy model. Engineers: A Dwarf Weaponsmith is a master of mechanical devices. By using stronger construction materials and time-tested secrets of Dwarf engineering, a Dwarf Weaponsmith can increase the distance the warband’s missile weapons can shoot. All the warband’s missile weapons have 6" added to their range, as long as the Dwarf Weaponsmith or a Master Craftsman is in the warband (the modifications require constant maintenance). Brewers: A Dwarf Brewer is always able to produce a barrel of his finest brew prior to each battle. The leader will allow D3 of his heroes to drink before a battle. Nominate the modles to drink and then roll a D6 to determine what type of beer he is offering. 1-2:
XXXXXX A strong brew which endows the Dwarf with
confidence. The warrior is immune to fear for the
duration of the battle. Only Dwarfs may drink the brew as they guard their precious supply jealously and anyway it is said to be too strong for other races DWARF EQUIPMENT LISTS All of the equipment lists from Town Crier 6 (or Best of Town Crier) apply. DWARF SKILL TABLE
