“Dig In!” A Sapper will direct the rapid construction of fieldworks and trenches that protect their comrades from the enemy. During any Command sub-phase, if they are not engaged in combat, this character may attempt to lead their unit in the digging of some fieldworks by making a Leadership test (using their own Leadership). If this test is passed, this character and any unit they have joined becomes ‘Entrenched’. An Entrenched unit is considered to be behind partial cover and to be defending a low linear obstacle. Should the unit move for any reason, it is no longer Entrenched.	“Dig In!” A Sapper will direct the rapid construction of fieldworks and trenches that protect their comrades from the enemy.

Ancestral Grudge Dwarfs never forget a wrong, imagined or otherwise, with lords and thanes being particularly overburdened with inherited grudges. These can never be forgotten, only settled or nurtured. A model with this special rule has the Hatred (enemy characters) special rule, meaning it hates all characters in the opposing army. If this character joins a unit of Longbeards or Hammerers, that unit will also gain this special rule. Should this character leave a unit of Longbeards or Hammerers they have joined for any reason, that unit loses this special rule.

Immovable Object An Anvil of Doom is a tremendously heavy object, rarely moved from within its keeper’s forge. When properly set atop a perfectly level dais of stone blocks, it is not easily moved. Once an Anvil of Doom has been placed on the battlefield during deployment it cannot be moved by its crew during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Note that an Anvil of Doom can still pivot freely at any time during its turn (the better to face the enemy) and may make a follow up move as normal.

Prepared Positions Burlok is an expert at organising the hasty construction of defensible barriers to ensure his artillery and missile troops are protected from harm. During deployment, you may ‘Entrench’ a single non-character model whose troop type is ‘war machine’ and a single unit of Quarrellers or Thunderers. An Entrenched unit is considered to be behind partial cover and to be defending a low linear obstacle. Should an Entrenched unit move for any reason, it is no longer Entrenched.
