Irondrake Kit and Rules Unveiled


The new Dwarf armybook is being released this Saturday, and inside it is a new rumored unit called Irondrakes. These are heavily armoured warriors in gromril armour, carrying a massive handcannon. So check out the latest weapon of the dwarves below the break.


Please remember that these are rumors from someone that claims to have this weekends White Dwarf. Salt is always required until we an official announcement or release.

Irondrakes are heavily armoured dwarves carrying drakeguns. The guns look like massive two handed cannons that are fired from the hip. Each Irondrake is clad in Forge-proven Gromril Armour.

The kit contains 10 plastic models led by an Ironwarden who comes with three weapon options, drakefire pistols, cinderblast bombs, and a trollhammer torpedo. The kit also comes with options for a musician and a standard bearer.  The trollhammer torpedo is a spiked cone with a chain attached. 

Above all else, the rules for Irondrakes are in the White Dwarf. I wont give the full layout, as I am sure an image leak is just a few days away, but here is a brief look. 

*Special Rules: Ancestral Grudge, Relentless, Resolute
*Drakegun: S5 18" armour piercing, dwarf-crafted, flaming attacks, quick to fire
*Forge-proven Gromril: 4+armour save and 6+ ward save with a 2+ ward save vs hits with flaming attack rules
*Trollhammer Torpedo S8 24" Flaming attacks, multiple wounds d3, slow to fire.
