====Dwarfs==== Why the Dwarfs have a full navy when they hate the water so much is baffling (aside from a compulsive need to one-up those damn Elgi). The majority of their fleet comes from Barak Varr, where theyโre used for commerce and expeditions for gold. Their navy gives the plucky Engineers an excuse to get really creative, leading to some of the most advanced sea-faring vessels in the setting. Dwarf ships also have the special rule of regenerating lost hit points, representing the master engineers onboard the ships constantly doing repairs. *'''Ironclad:''' A steam-powered floating metal fortress, with rotating gun turrets and paddlewheels for moving. Like other dwarf ships (and dwarfs themselves) it is slow and difficult to maneuver, but also very resilient and powerful. *'''Monitor:''' The oldest class of ship in the dwarf navy, relied upon for its tried and tested dependability. Men of the Empire claim that the Dawi stole the idea from their Wargallies, which definitely sounds like bullshit to me. Just like the real life monitors, it's an armoured ship with a very low profile, making it difficult to hit. It also has a penchant for ramming, perhaps as a tribute to that period of naval warfare when ship's armor plates where so superior to their guns, that ramming was almost the only way of sinking them. *'''Nautilus:''' Yes, Dwarfs have motherfucking submarines. Sadly, and unlike the one from ''Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea'', it cannot ram, but can still submerge and be invulnerable for a turn, and fire torpedoes. They are crewed by the naval equivalent to Slayers, as most dwarfs are absolutely terrified to go underwater. *'''Dreadnought:''' An even bigger and nastier Ironclad, with better armour and dakka. Basically, what a real life Dreadnought would be in a medieval, magical, gritty fantasy world. *'''Gyrocopter:''' A steam Dwarf helicopter, of course. This one also has a gatling gun, for good measure. *'''War Balloon:''' What it says in the can. It has bombs and a gatling canon, but cannot board ships.
