Dreadquake Mortar
![]() |

The final word in Artillery and the biggest fuck-you created by the Chaos Dwarfs, the Dreadquake Mortar is a fuck-massive bombard used to annihilate anything standing between the Dawi-Zharr and their goals.
Dreadquakes are constructed within the great fortresses of the Darkland by the various sorcerer-prophets of Hashut. Instead of using the violate and dangerous gunpowder-which even for the Chaos Dwarfs would be too dangerous as it risks harming the machine and its ammunition-the Dreadquake utilizes a boiler and an internal contained pressure vessel. As a downside, it takes much longer to generate enough steam to launch a single shot from the Dreadquake, and so the efficiency compared to other artillery is limited on the battlefield. Still, in a few volleys, entire units of infantry can crumble and great walls designed to withstand assaults by the hordes of chaos can crumble like tissue paper.
