	'''Warden King on Throne of Power:'''		'''Warden King on Throne of Power:''' Great melee damage (before saves, an average of 5.3 damage at rend 2, plus 1.5 damage with no rend) and survavility (8W, 4+ rerollable save). Lets you reroll all wound rolls against any enemy unit you choose, or three of them if you lost against his commander before. Combined with the Dwarf war machines, you can almost always kill the most troublesome enemy monster or hero before it even gets close, so it's pretty great. His Command Ability lets all Dispossesed units within 8" of the king make 1 more attack with their melee weapons. That can be awesome, but his big base size and his low Move (4" like every other Dwarf, but he doesn't get a Musician to always run 4") makes difficult to use its ability where it's most needed. Overall a good Hero, but a little underwhelming for someone who gets carried to combat in a throne lifted by four guys.

	'''Runelord On Anvil Of Doom:''' ~~Here's your~~... ~~priest? Okay~~, ~~so he can strike runes~~ to ~~grant effects~~ to ~~your dorfs, giving them either~~ a 6+ ~~save-after-the-save for even hardier units or better Rend on their weapons for even more murder. It should be noted that this latter ability applies to ALL weapons the unit carries, yes, even~~ to ~~your already awesome Drakeguns~~. ~~Two more things~~ to ~~note about the Runelord: First,~~ he "~~prays" better than any other Priest~~, ~~succeeding on~~ 2+ and ~~never hurting himself~~, ~~second, you can argue~~ (~~if you're~~ a ~~dick)~~ that ~~he doesn't actually~~ "~~pray~~"~~, so things~~ like ~~the Rain of Sigmar~~, ~~for which Priests have to forgo praying~~, can ~~be done even after your Runelord struck~~ a ~~rune~~.		'''Runelord On Anvil Of Doom:''' When a runelord makes babies with piece of dorf artillary, the anvil of doom is born. Thoreks stats apply both to himself and all generic Anvils of doom now. Its basically a magical weapons platform similar to the empires lunermark. Thorek has suped upabilties of a regular runelord, able to unbind 2 spells as opposed to 1 (with a 2+ modifier to unbind rolls. Is able to strike 2 runes intead of 1 if he is within 4" of his favorite whipping boy Kraggi, who can also unbind a spell (Without the 2+ modifier mind you) and re roll if your (Joke rule incoming!) younger than your opponent. Thorek has three runes at his dispossal, Hearth and home: which means a selected unit does not take battleshock. Oath and steel (Exactly the same as Mystic shield) and Wrath and ruin(Exactly the same as Arcane bolt). on the face of it that might seem a little dissapointing but bear in mind that Thoreks runes all have a 24" casting range (4" more than the average archer) AND runes cannot be unbound like spells AND he and his guards arent all that bad in combat. So basically youve got yourself a spell blocking, self defending, Piece of artillary that can deal out D3 unblockable wounds with no more effort than two rolls of above 1. Not Bad. the only problem is the damn thing can only move 1" and cant charge. So make sure you have a good think about where you set it up.

	'''Apprentice Runesmith:'''		'''Apprentice Runesmith:''' Buffs the Runelord On Anvil Of Doom & can unbind a spell. nuff said.

	'''Far-Ranger:'''		'''Far-Ranger:''' Still brewin' the best stuff. 5 wounds, 4+ save, 4 3+/3+/-1/1 attacks, 3+/4+ crossbow, so not bad but not great as a combat hero. Pretty useful, because he lets you place himself and up to 1 unit of Quarrellers (his famous Rangers) anywhere more than 9" from the enemy, spending their move, any turn after the first. Given that Quarrellers range is 20", take 30 of them (to lose some and still get double shooting) and fire 61 bolts to whatever you want. That's some 16 wounds before saves, so you can wipe out war machines and lightly armored units, or put the hurt on monsters and heroes. If you positioned the drunkards outside charge range, you'll force your opponent to change his plans to deal with them, or face rains of bolts each turn. He also heals D3 wounds to himself or a Dispossessed Hero within 4" each turn (not so good, he'll be far from them, and he's not that important after the ambush), and adds +1 to his Bravery and that of all Dispossessed units within 4" (but only if you are holding a drink, so he also gives you an excuse to booze).

	'''Thane with Battle Standard:''' This guy's weird. Like any other BSB, he can plant his standard and grant effects to your guys. This one makes all Dorfs within 18" immune to Battleshock, which is pretty neat, and also lowers casting rolls for enemy Wizards by 2.		'''Thane with Battle Standard:''' This guy's weird.

	'''Flame Cannon:''' The best Dorf gun, some say the best War Machine in the game. Gee, that can't have anything to do with being one of the most expensive War Machines in the GW range, can it? Either way, the cannon simply inflicts D3 mortal wounds. After that, you roll a D6 and on 4+ they take another D3. If an Engineer is next to it, you inflict D6 mortal wounds both times. So no hassle with hitting, wounding, saving. You pick a unit, they melt. Very nice.		'''Flame Cannon:''' The best Dorf gun, some say the best War Machine in the game.

	'''Organ Gun:''' The gambling gun. Its profile is at first underwhelming, being D6 Irondrake shots, but the trick is that you can decide to shoot it up to 4 times. Then, you roll a D6 and if you roll under the number of times you fired it (so, 1-3 if you shoot four times), it jams and you don't fire at all. At peak efficiency, it fires 4D6 Iron Drake shots, up to 24 and still 14 on average, but that gives it a 50% chance of not firing at all. In an Engineer is closeby, you can reroll this jamming test, giving you a 75% chance of it working at ~~peek~~ efficiency and an 88% chance of working with 3 barrels. Yeah, Engineers are awesome.

	'''Grudge Thrower:''' Also a nice choice. It can fire indirectly and Hits and Wounds on 3+, with good Rend and constant damage 3. If an Engineer is closeby, you can also fire it twice. The real meat however is its rule ''Settling a Grudge''. Before the game starts, you pick one enemy unit and then your Grudge Thrower can reroll Hit and Wound rolls against it, ensuring that the one unit you need dead will die.

	The ~~dwarf~~ army has some incredible strengths and some equally glaring weaknesses. There are certain tasks that the average dwarf profile just ~~isent~~ suited for and therefore specialist units need to be chosen. An obvious example would be any game where speed is key such as a capture the flag type scenario. Since every other race is either fast or has a good selection of cavalry options ~~youll~~ often find that your opponent has run up pinched the flag and run back before your dwarfs are even half way there. A similar situation would be a mad dash for cover or some large piece of terrain in no mans land. If the enemy manages to fortify there ~~postion~~ to the point where ~~yopu~~ have to come after then the dwarfs will find themselves seriously out matched. The ~~soulution~~?. Specialist units. Assuming ~~yourt~~ army ~~isent~~ composed of them all in the first place. Use a mixture of good old ~~dorf artillary~~ hampering the enemies efforts while sending in a small number of Gyrocopters straight into the enemies midst. anyone who has stared down the wrong end of a steam gun know that while not overly durable gyrocopters damage output in groups is hard to ignore. The combination of these two factors should give your warriors and such enough time to make it to your objective and either garrison the terrain or form a rear guard action while a unit spirits away your prize. While this often can work it should be noted that this is still the armies weak point and therefore can still be very difficult to achieve especially against ~~natrually~~ fast armies such as Aelfs.

	In any scenarios that require either the ~~defence~~ or ~~offence~~ the dwarfs can excel either way. During ~~defence~~? simple set up your ~~artillary~~ and other ranged units in the best position possible buffed by your leaders and engineers and set up ~~yout~~ sturdiest units in front perhaps while using units such as Slayers, Miners and gyrocopters for shock hit and run attacks. The enemies on the defensive? Well depending on the overall objective this can be equally simple. If your just having a straight slogging match with your opponent or your objective is a target for you to destroy thats in sight. Simply set your army up in a similar fashion using your ~~artillary~~ (Particularly a grudge thrower) and start the bombardment. Unless your against a different dwarf army you should ~~beable~~ to just sit there and out gun your opponent at which point they will have to think about advancing on you in an attempt to take out your war machines.
