This may just be what Moria from LoTR would have been on the big screen, except it’s the Warhammer Fantasy version of an EPIC underground Dwarf battle that you have to see!
“A first look at underground battles in Total War Warhammer!
Deep beneath the World’s Edge Mountains, in the throne-room of the Dwarfen capital Karaz-A-Karak, High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer broods.
Poring endlessly over the Dammaz Kron, the Great Book of Grudges, he dreams of vengeance for the countless betrayals and treacheries against his people. And sometimes, just sometimes, an opportunity to settle an old score presents itself…
This spectacular new trailer uses in-engine models and animations to introduce the sturdy, redoubtable Dwarfs, one of four playable races in Total War: WARHAMMER.
Great miners and smiths, the Dwarfs craft some of the finest arms and armament in the Old World. Marching to battle in suits of rugged yet wonderfully ornate armour, they field a devastating array of black-powder weapons and artillery. In times of dire need, the gyrocopters of the Everpeak Aircorps stand ready to right old wrongs, launching skywards to rain explosive hell upon their foes.“
