Dwarfs

A handgun shot can pierce armour far more easily than an arrow or a crossbow bolt. Therefore, count enemy Armour values as one worse than normal when shot by a handgun. One unit of Handgunners per full 1000 points can replace a unit of Warriors while still counting for the Warrior min/max value. Note that this unit still counts for max value of Handgunners.

One unit of Rangers per full 1000 points does not have to be deployed before the game if the player does not wish to do so. Instead the unit can be infiltrated onto the battlefield once the game has begun. To infiltrate a unit, the Dwarf player nominates the point where he wants the Rangers to appear and issues an ‘infiltration‘ order from any character. The character does not have to be within his normal command range to issue an infiltration order - the character‘s command range is considered to extend over the entire tabletop when issuing an infiltration order. Treat the order as issued to the nominated point, and apply any modifiers for distance and proximity of enemy, but ignore penalties for dense terrain. The nominated point must lie either on the table within dense terrain or on any base edge other than the enemy player‘s own table edge. If successful, place one stand on the nominated spot and arrange the rest of the unit into formation around it. The infiltrated unit cannot be placed so that it touches an enemy unit. Once deployed, orders can be given to the unit by the same character that gave the infiltration order if he is within his normal command range, the infiltrating unit is considered to have used its first order to deploy. If the infiltration order is failed the unit is not deployed and cannot infiltrate that turn, it can attempt to infiltrate in a subsequent turn at the same or a different place.

A Troll Slayer unit will always use its initiative to charge an enemy if possible and cannot be given orders instead. They will never use their initiative to evade. Troll Slayers cannot be driven back by shooting and never roll for drive backs. Troll Slayers must pursue or advance if victorious in combat where they are permitted to do so. Troll Slayers are unaffected by enemy that cause terror in combat - they don‘t suffer the -1 Attack modifier. Troll Slayers positively enjoy fighting monsters - the bigger the better in fact! Slayers add +1 Attack when fighting against a Monster stand.

Full rules for Cannons are in the main Rulebook.

The Flame Cannon is an infernal device that shoots a gout of flame. It has range of 30cm and its attacks are slightly unusual. Rather than having a fixed number of attacks it has 2D6 Attacks instead - roll 2 dice and add the scores together. But if the Flame Cannon rolls a double then it does not shoot as expected! Depending on the double rolled something has gone horribly wrong.

The Gyrocopter is a flying machine, so all the usual flying rules apply. The model always forms a single unit on its own, must be given orders individually, cannot be brigaded with other units and cannot be joined by a character in combat.

One Hero in the army may be upgraded to carry an Oathstone for +15 pts. Once per game, the Hero may use the Oathstone to inspire one unit that he has joined (except Trollslayers). Both the Hero, and the unit he has joined, gain +1 attack per stand, and are immune to Terror, until the end of the combat phase.

Although they are not wizards and cannot therefore cast spells, Dwarf Runesmiths can combat the magic of their enemies. If an enemy Wizard who is within 50cm of the Runesmith casts a spell the Runesmith can attempt to ‘anti- magic‘ it. Note that it does not matter what the spell is or where it is cast, the Runesmith can ‘anti-magic‘ it so long as the caster is with 50cm. To determine if this works roll a D6 - on the score of 4, 5 or 6 the Runesmith has succeeded and the spell doesn‘t work, it is dispelled by the Runesmith‘s defiant efforts. If he fails then the Runesmith‘s efforts come to nothing and the spell works as normal. A Runesmith can attempt to anti-magic any number of spells in a turn, but only one attempt can be made to anti-magic any individual spell - even if the army includes more than one Runesmith and several are in range of the enemy Wizard.

The army can only include a single anvil and it is incorporated onto the stand of a Runesmith. If a Runesmith stand includes the Anvil, once per battle he can add +1 to his dice roll when he attempts to dispel enemy magic spells using the Dwarf anti-magic ability (see Runesmith). In addition the Runesmith can strike the Anvil during the Shooting phase of his own turn. The anvil‘s plangent rune-song fills the Dwarfs with even greater resolve! Roll a D6. On the score of a 4, 5 or 6 all Dwarf units within 20cm of the Runesmith are unaffected by Terror until the start of the Dwarf player‘s next turn. On a roll of less than 4 there is no effect.
