DWARF GOLDHUNTERS

by Tuomas Pirinen

"Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, GOLD, GOLD!"

Skraggi Gunnirsson, Dwarf treasure hunter.

The manlings say that in the ruins there are shards of stone that can turn base metals

into gold. What nonsense! But if the Umgi are willing to pay good gold for pieces of

rock, who are the Dwarfs to argue? Sharpen your axes, lads, we are going to Mordheim!

Dwarfs are an ancient race, grim as moutains and tough as rocks. They are short but

extremely stocky and strong. They are honourable and strong-willed folk, who always

repay a favour, and never forget a grudge. From their ancient strongholds high in the

World's Edge Mountains, the Dwarfs wage war against their many enemies:

Greenskinned Orcs and Goblins, Skaven, the rat-men of the underworld, human bandits

and many others. Their numbers have dwindled into few survivors, and most of the

Dwarfholds have fallen to their enemies. But sons of Grungni will never lay down their

axes or forget their grudges as longs as even one of their warriors is alive. Thus has

grown the race of Dwarfs: strong, enterprising and brave.

If there is one weakness in the character of the dour Dwarfs, it's their unreasoning greed

for gold and treasure. There are tales of Dwarfs going completely crazy and even slaying

their own friends and companions when confronted by a particulary impressive treasure

hoard, such is the maddening power that riches have over them.

From Karak Kadrin, the famed Slayer's hold come the Dwarf Goldhunters: the most

rugged and tenacious of all the Dwarfkind, and all Dwarfs are known for their subborness

and stolid countenance. They come in search for riches, and the huge price offered by the

Imperial nobles for the Wyrdstone, that Mordheim is an almost irresistable lure for

Dwarfs despite city's grim reputation.

Dangers of the city do little to deter the Dwarfs. Dwarf warbands are invariably well-

armed, well-equipped and crazed for the promise of riches. Dwarfs are the greatest smiths

and craftsmen in the world, far surpassing humans and even elves. Thus their weapons

and armour are always of extremely high quality, and the bravery of the Dwarfs means

that they fearlessly face even the most horrid enemies without a flinch. There is no finer

heavy infantry in the world than the Dwarfs.

The Dwarf warband leaders often manage to lure members of the Troll Slayer cult to join

them. These psychopathic and dangerous maniacs are the most feared of all the Dwarf

Warriors.

DWARF SPECIAL RULES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Dwarfs are subject to following rules.

Armour. Dwarfs are never slowed down by wearing armour. They do not suffer penalties

on their movement even if they wear heavy armour and carry a shield.

Hate Orcs and Goblins. All Dwarfs hate all Orcs and Goblins regardless of the type. See

the psychology rules section for details.

buildings in the warband's encampment may increase this.

DWARF SPECIAL SKILLS

Dwarfs may use the following Skill table instead of any of the standard Skill tables

aviable to them.

DWARF SPECIAL SKILL TABLE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Magic Resistant. I don't believe in magic! Any effect from a magical spell or a scroll

will not affect the Dwarf on a D6 roll of 4+.

Smith. The Dwarf is an expert smith. You may buy any 1 Common weapon for a half

price between battles.

Gnollengrom. Only a Dwarf Leader may have this skill. The Dwarf has such an

impressive beard that all the Dwarfs around him are inclined to respect him. The Warrior

band may re-roll any failed rout tests.

Fearless. The model is immune to fear and counts terror as fear. If you are a Slayer, you

may re-roll the result.

Dwarf Grit. If the model suffers a critical hit, he may roll a D6. On a roll of 4+ he will

only suffer normal wound instead of any special damage caused by a critical hit.

SLAYER SKILLS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slayers may choose to pick skills from this table as well as from standard Dwarf skill

table.

Ferocious Charge. The model may double it's attacks on the turn he charges. He will

suffer -1 to hit penaly on that turn.

Monster Slayer. Model always wounds any opponent on a roll of 4+ regardless of

Toughness, unless his own strength would make this less.

Berserker. The model may add +1 to his 'to hit rolls' when he charges.

Sweeping strike. The model may make 1 extra attack if he is engaged by more than 1

model.

Tattoos of Grimnir. The Slayer is tattooed by one of the Priests of Grimnir the Brave,

the God of Slayers. The model now has a 6+ armour save. If you roll this result again, the

save is increased to 5+, and so on, up to 3+. (The Slayer is then covered in tattoos!).

Fated. The Slayer is destined not to die easily. You may re-roll any result on the Serious

Injury table. The second result stands, even if it is worse than the first one.
