Dwarfen Mountain Holds - Page 2

Dwarfs are also renowned for their culture of war and combat. Their armies consist of tireless warriors, often armed with axes and shields, and clad in sturdy chainmail armor. The basic units include Dwarf Warriors, Elite Shooters, and Hammerers, each group bringing its own skills and specializations. Hero characters, such as Dwarf Lords and Runemasters, add extra power with their command abilities and magical runes, offering unique protections and advantages on the battlefield. Loyalty and camaraderie are central values for the Dwarfs, making them reliable allies and tenacious adversaries.

Their history is marked by incessant conflicts against Greenskins (Orcs and Goblins), Skaven, and other creatures threatening their mountain fortresses. The quest for vengeance (or "Grudges") against those who have wronged them is recorded in the Book of Grudges, a sacred record that dictates many of the Dwarfs' actions. This thirst for justice and revenge shapes their character and determination, making them not only a difficult faction to defeat but also one feared by their enemies. The rich heritage of the Dwarfs, their traditions, and advanced technology make them a fascinating and strategic faction in Warhammer The Old World.
