"stand Back Chief" Hunkering down behind their war machines, an Engineer is well-protected from enemy fire. A character with this special rule cannot be targeted by enemy shooting or by enemy spells whilst it is within 3" of a friendly unit whose troop type is ‘war machine’.

“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.

Gromril Weapons Many Dwarf warriors bear weapons forged of gromril. Such fine weapons, family heirlooms passed down through many generations, possess remarkable sharpness and durability. A hand weapon carried by a model with this special rule has an Armour Piercing characteristic of -1. Note that this special rule only applies to a single, ordinary hand weapon. If the model is using two hand weapons or any other sort of weapon, or if their hand weapon is inscribed with any Weapon runes, this special rule ceases to apply.

Artillery Master Engineers are quick to advise artillery crews how best to aim and fire a war machine. Unless this character is fleeing or engaged in combat, once per turn, during the Shooting phase, a friendly unit of Quarrellers, unit of Thunderers or Dwarf war machine that is within its Command range can either re-roll any rolls To Hit of a natural 1, or re-roll a single Artillery dice.

Bombing Run Armed with mechanical racks that bristle with Grudgebuster bombs, Gyrobombers stream over the Dwarf battle lines seeking to obliterate the foe’s largest formations. This model may perform a ‘Bombing Run’ attack against a single enemy unit that is not engaged in combat. To do so, this model must move (by flying) over the unit it wishes to attack during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Once this model’s movement is complete, roll on the Bombing Run table below: Bombing Run Table D6 Result 1 Premature Detonation: The release mechanism jams and a bomb explodes prematurely. This model loses a single Wound. 2 Dud: A solitary bomb is released, but fails to detonate before landing squarely upon the head of an unfortunate enemy. The enemy unit loses a single Wound. 3-4 Direct Hit: A cluster of bombs lands directly on-target. Place a large (5") blast template so that its central hole is directly over the centre of the enemy unit. Once placed, the template will scatter D6". Any model whose base lies underneath the template’s final position risks being hit and suffering a single Strength 4 hit with an AP of -1. 5-6 Bombs Away: A cluster of bombs is released, falling over a wide area. Place two small (3") blast templates so that their central hole is over the enemy unit. Once placed, each template will scatter D6". Any model whose base lies underneath a template’s final position risks being hit and suffering a single Strength 4 hit with an AP of -1.

Borne Aloft Carried upon the broad shoulders of their most trusted retainers, a Dwarf lord towers above the serried ranks of their army. A model with Shieldbearers consists of not one, but four models – the character and three loyal retainers – occupying a single base and acting together as a single entity. To represent this, a model with Shieldbearers has a split profile and follows the ‘Split Profile (Cavalry)’ rule. In all other respects, this model is heavy infantry.

Deathblow Slayers are bitter fighters who seek their doom in battle, yet so fierce is their pride and so sacred are the vows of the Slayer Cult that they are incapable of acceptingtheir fate graciously. Upon their death, a Slayer will use their final breath to strike at the foe. When a model with this special rule is reduced to zero Wounds by an enemy attack during the Combat phase, the unit that made the attack suffers a Strength 3 hit, with an AP of -1.

Dive Bomb Gyrocopters carry small bombs fitted with mechanical flints to light their fuse. Once the fuse is lit, the pilot must quickly release the bomb. All too often unlit bombs are dropped or, worse, lit bombs are not dropped at all! Once per game, a unit with this special rule may perform a ‘Dive Bomb’ attack against a single enemy unit that is not engaged in combat. To do so, this unit must move (by flying) over the unit it wishes to attack during the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Once this unit’s movement is complete, the enemy unit suffers D6 Strength 3 hits, each with an AP of -1, for each model in this unit that moved over it. However, for each roll of a natural 1 made when determining the number of hits, a bomb has misfired and this unit loses a single Wound instead.

Extended Formation Ranging far and wide above the mountain peaks, units of Scout Gyrocopters adopt an extended formation, the better to scour the landscape for the movements of the enemy.
