==On the Tabletop== [[File:Dwarf Primarch.png|thumb|right|450px|Grombrindal in his comic.]] His last official posted stats for Warhammer Fantasy appeared in ''White Dwarf'' #348, where he was described as being a Lord choice for a Dwarfs army. {| class=wikitable |- valign=top ! Name !! Points !! M !! WS !! BS !! S !! T !! W !! I !! A !! Ld |- | Grombrindal|| 500 || 3 || 7 || 4 || 4 || 5 || 4 || 4 ||4 || 10 |} '''Special Rules:''' Ancestral Grudge, Resolute, Relentless *'''Grombrindal Has No Fear!''' - Grombrindal is Unbreakable. However, this cannot be conferred to any unit he is in, so if they break from a battle, he will always stand his ground and prevents the enemy unit from pursuing. *'''Disguised''' - Grombrindal can begin play hidden in any unit of infantry aside from a War Machine crew. Note that if he is made the general and begins play disguised, the army cannot benefit from his Inspiring Presence. While he is not on the table, is is presumed to move along with his unit unless that unit either breaks or is slain, in which case he will reveal himself. In any other case, he can reveal himself in the Close Combat phase. When revealed, he must be moved to the frontmost rank, displacing any rank-and-file models. '''Wargear''' *'''Rune Helm of Zhufbar''' - Talisman. All fleeing Dwarf Units within 12" of the wearer will automatically rally. *'''Armour of Glimril Scales''' - Magic Armour. Grants a 1+ Armour Save and a 4+ Ward Save. *'''Rune Cloak of Valaya''' - Talisman. Grants Magic Resistance (3). *'''Rune Axe of Grimnir''' - Magic Weapon. Attacks made with the Rune Axe of Grimnir are made at +2 Strength and can re-roll failed to-hit and to-wound rolls. Models wounded by the Rune Axe of Grimnir must re-roll successful Armour Saves. ===The Models=== As if to add insult to injury, for a time, Games Workshop tried releasing special novelty versions of Grombrindal's model. Each model had a limited run, with its mould being destroyed at the end of the year, and they charged exorbitant prices for them. It started with a free model for when he got released for issue #348, then a special anniversary-celebrating collector's edition depicting Grombrindal on a shield being toted by [[Gotrek & Felix|Gotrek Gurnisson]] and [[Josef Bugman]] (where do you think GW got the idea for it in the End Times, hmm?). Then came the wave of novelty versions, including a pirate version, an aviator, a vampire slayer, a movie director, and even a [[Squats|spacesuited Grombrindal]]. In 2016, after 3 years from the last Grombrindal model, he came back in the Age of Sigmar... but no new model, it's just the plastic <strike>Dwarf Slayer</strike> "Duardin Unforged" painted in different colors and with different rules at a higher price. ''Yay''.

Making up for this in 2017 two kits were released: the first a diorama of the White Dwarf enjoying his 40th real world birthday [[Squats|wearing Power Armor and swigging from a flagon, surrounded by presents including a Bolter]], while the Black Gobbo lurks from inside the cake. The second a [[Blood Bowl]] pack of him and the Black Gobbo which are useable in the game. 2019 gave us yet another limited-release model for the post-Christmas rush: This time the White Dwarf is now looking like a stuntie [[Magos]] with a beard made of mechadendrites, accompanied by a [[servitor]]ized Black Gobbo.
