WARHAMMER ARMIES: DWARFS
Official Update (July 2010)
Although we strive to ensure that our army books are perfect, sometimes mistakes do creep in. In addition, we occasionally print new versions of our rules that require amendments to be made in older versions of our army books. When such issues arise we feel that it is important to deal with them as promptly as we can, and we therefore produce regular updates for all of our army books.

Each update is split into three sections: Errata, Amendments, and ‘Frequently Asked Questions’. The Errata corrects any mistakes in the book, while the Amendments bring the book up to date with the latest version of the rules. The Frequently Asked Questions (or ‘FAQ’) section answers commonly asked questions about the rules. Although you can mark corrections directly in your army book, this is by no means necessary – just
keep a copy of the update with your army book.

ERRATA
Page 29 – Royal Blood
Change the first sentence to “Dwarf Lords (but not Thanes) are of Royal Blood.”

AMENDMENTS
Troop Type
Note that older versions of our army books do not list the Troop Type for each model. If this is the case with your army book, then you can find the model’s Troop Type in the reference section at the back of the Warhammer rulebook.

Page 48-49 – Army List entry
Ignore this page and use the rules for “Choosing Your Army” in the Warhammer rulebook.

Unit Strength
Delete all references to unit strength.

Page 28 – Oath Stones
Change “They do not lose their rank bonuses if charged in flank or rear,” to “They cannot be disrupted,”. Add “Also, the models in the unit may make supporting attacks in any direction, and if they have shields, they get their Parry save against attacks coming from any side.”

Page 29 – Shieldbearers
Change the first sentance of the third paragraph to “If the General and the Shieldbearers fights with a unit, he counts as two normal models for the purposes of working out if there is a complete rank of five models.”

Page 30 – Anvil of Doom
Replace the rules for the Anvil of Doom with the following:

......................M...WS...BS...S...T...W...I...A...Ld
Anvil of Doom...-......-.......-......-...10...5...-...-.....-
Runelord..........3.....6......4.....4....5....3...3..2....9
Anvil Guard......3.....5......3.....4....5....1...2..1....9
Unit Type: War Machine

Crew: The Anvil has a crew consisting of a Runelord and two Anvil Guards.
Special Rules: Unbreakable
Anvil of Doom: A Dwarf army may have one Anvil of Doom.
The Anvil is a war machine that cannot be moved. The Anvil receives two attacks for the Runelord, instead of one attack as would normally be the case for a war machine. Use the best armour and ward saving throw available to any surviving member of the crew against all wounds that are suffered by the Anvil. Remove one Anvil Guard model when the first wound is inflicted on the Anvil of Doom, the second Anvil Guard when the second wound is inflicted, but only remove the Runelord when the fifth wound is inflicted. The crew receive a 4+ ward save against missile fire and ranged magical attacks, and a 6+ ward save against close combat attacks.

Dispel Dice: The Anvil adds one dispel dice to the Dwarfs dice pool in the opponent’s Magic phase.

The ‘Striking Runes on the Anvil of Doom’ special rules are used unchanged.

Page 38 – Artillery Master
Change to “Artillery Master: A Master Engineer within 3" of a war machine is allowed to take a ‘Look Out Sir!’ roll as if he was within 3" of a unit of five or more models. In addition, one war machine that is within 3" of a Master Engineer receives the following benefits:
• A Bolt Thrower may use his BS.
• A Grudge Thrower may re-roll the Artillery dice.
• A Cannon inflicts D6 wounds rather than D3 wounds.”

Page 39 – Artillery Crew
Change the first paragraph to “All Dwarf artillery crew have the Stubborn special rule”. Ignore Gunners’ Pride and Additional Crew.

Page 39 – Flame Cannon, Firing the Flame Cannon
Change to “Flame Cannons shoot using the Fire Thrower rules. In addition they have the Multiple Wounds (D3) special rule.”.

Page 41 – Cannon
Ignore the last sentence in the second paragraph.

Page 42 – Gyrocopter
Add “Gyrocopters do not have the Thunderstomp! special rule and they cannot be used as character mounts.”

Page 44 – Master Rune of Swiftness
Change to “The wielder of a weapon engraved with this rune gains the Always Strikes First special rule.”

Page 45 – Rune of Preservation
Change the second sentence to “This rune confers immunity to the Killing Blow, Heroic Killing Blow, and Poisoned Attacks special rules.”

Page 45 – Master Rune of Valaya
Ignore the last sentence.

Page 45 – Rune of Slowness
Change the first sentence to “Any foes charging the unit subtract D6" from their charge range. The charging unit works out its charge range normally, and then the Dwarf player rolls a D6 and subtracts the score from the range.”

Page 46 – Rune of Stoicism
Ignore this Rune.

Page 47 – Rune of the Furnace
Change to “The bearer of this rune has a 2+ ward save against flaming attacks.”

Page 47 – Master Rune of Immolation
Add “This rune will also be triggered automatically when the machine loses its last wound in close combat.”

Page 47 – Rune of Reloading
Change to “The war machine can shoot even if it has suffered a Misfire in the previous turn (unless the Misfire destroyed it).”

Page 50 – 0-1 Anvil of Doom
Ignore the second sentence.

Page 50 – Runelord, Options
Change the last sentence of the third option to “The Runelord becomes part of the Anvil’s crew.”

Ignore this army list entry.

Page 59 – Thorgrim Grudgebearer
Ignore “[…] will also take up one of your Hero choices.”

Page 60 – Thorek Ironbrow
Ignore “[…] will also take up one of your Hero choices.”

Page 61 – Thorek Ironbrow, Anvil of Doom
Change to “Thorek’s Anvil of Doom works just like another Anvil of Doom (see above), with the following modifications:
• Kraggi is removed when the Anvil suffers its third wound, and Thorek when the Anvil suffers its sixth wound.
• Once per game, Thorek may re-roll a failed attempt to strike a rune on the Anvil, but if this second roll is also a failure, a -1 is applied on the roll on the Anvil Miscast table (a result of 0 counts as a 1).
• Thorek is so skilled that he can successfully strike runes on the Anvil with Ancient Power on a roll of 3+.”

Page 64 – Reference
Ignore the Grudge Thrower & Dwarf Cannon boxes.
