Ungrim Ironfist, known as the Slayer King, has returned to battle fierce and formidable monsters.

The most skilled and revered Dwarf lords are transported to battle on hefty shields, symbolizing their status and providing a practical vantage point for combat.

The interchangeable weapons allow for one figure to use a hand weapon and shield, while the other wields a substantial great weapon.

The leaders of the northern dwarf clans frequently place rune-inscribed Oathstones on the battlefield, serving as both a fighting position and a command center. These stones represent the honor and history of the clan, providing immunity to Panic tests for nearby units. This particular model is constructed from Forge World resin.

Classic Dwarf Characters

The Dwarf Command Set features three resin miniatures, including a Thane with a Battle Standard, a King on foot, and a Slayer of Legend, which can be used to represent either a Dragon Slayer or Demon Slayer. The Slayer Command Set contains a musician, battle standard bearer, and two alternate Slayers. These classic miniatures, such as Runesmiths and Engineers, are designed to support new Lords in battle and lead the throng to victory.

Classic Dwarf Troops

Classic Dwarf Troops

The Dwarfen army relies on its reliable and tough soldiers, such as Warriors, Slayers, Hammerers, and Ironbreakers for close combat, and Quarrelers or Thunderers for ranged firepower. These classic kits are essential for bolstering the army’s strength and are known for their durability and combat effectiveness.

Classic Dwarf Mercenaries

The Dwarfs living in the Empire will join the human allies in battle, wielding spears instead of their typical axes. These Imperial Dwarfs can be included in the Dogs of War contingent using two sets of traditional metal miniatures. Additionally, the fiercely reckless Slayers, referred to as Doomseekers, are making a comeback with a pack containing four metal characters, each armed with their unique chained axe blades.

Classic Dwarf War Engines

The Dwarfs are known for their deep affection towards their war machines. Their engineers have developed various methods to attack their enemies from a distance. For instance, the Grudge Thrower and Bolt Thrower are employed to launch massive rocks and bolts deep into enemy formations. Additionally, more unconventional options like the Goblin-Hewer and Flame Cannon are used to eliminate infantry with thrown axes or fire barrages.

The Anvil of Doom and Bugman’s Cart

The Anvil of Doom and Bugman’s Cart

The latest Dwarf release introduces two iconic units – the Anvil of Doom and Bugmans XXXXXX. The Anvil of Doom is a powerful tool that allows a Forgefather to enhance nearby Dwarfs’ armor and vigor with runic energies. Bugmans XXXXXX, on the other hand, is a non-magical yet potent potion distributed to nearby warriors to increase their speed when needed.
