Stunties!!!!!

Did only the slayers survive?

[Mr Mystery]

Nope.

There's mention of Steamhead Duardin as well. No word when we'll get them though.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Nope.

There's mention of Steamhead Duardin as well. No word when we'll get them though.

Is there any backround on them at all? The name seems to imply a focus on the steam powered tech, like the gyocopters so that will probably be the focus of that faction.

[Mr Mystery]

Nothing set in stone, no.

But I'm suspecting that we might see three flavours of Stunties.

Fyreslayers, Steamhead and Clan/Vanilla.

You might very well be right on that!
I'd hope for a 4th myself, with big hats and a hard-on for assyrian/babylonian imagery.

[Mr Mystery]

Ah yes, the lesser spotted 'very silly indeed Duardin'

(I purely jest)

[Kirsten]

well the helcannon is listed under Duardin on the GW page

Not knowing any French, I decided to use Google Translate and logic to translate the Hearthguard Berzerkers warscroll.
I couldn't read some parts very well, but I did my best, so bear with me

DESCRIPTION
A unit of Hearthguard Berzekers consist of 5 or more models.
Some units wield Berzerker Broadaxes, while others wield Flamestrike Poleaxes.
Some units wield Fyresteel Throwing Axes (not sure about this sentence).

KARL
One model in the unit can be a Karl.
Add 1 to its melee damage.

ABILITIES
Duty of Death: ... Whenever this unit suffers a wound or mortal would, throw a die. On a 6 or more, that wound is ignored. Add 2 to the result if there is a HERO FYRESLAYER within 10" of this unit.

Cross-armed Incandescents: Whenever a model in this unit hits with a Flamestrike Poleaxe, throw a die. On a 3 or more, the target suffers a mortal wound after the attacks are resolved.

Did only the slayers survive?

To be fair, none of them really "survived." They're new peoples... though apparently based on the old races. I still haven't seen an explanation on how that works, though there's an easy explanation they could have run with if they wanted. (The Slann create whole species, why wouldn't they be able to try to recreate the species from the world-that-was while protecting parts of said world as the "Realms?")

They can add all kinds of new Dwarfs with no connection to the old ones, because it's basically a new species (still Dwarfs, but technically new).

Nice to see GW do a 50/50 gender split in a WFB army, hehe.

They do look nice. Don't have a problem with slayers riding critters if it lets them go and kill bigger critters.

Who's to say they didn't? According to pretty much every bit of fiction out there except for that Helga whatever model, Dwarf women look identical to Dwarf men.




Me being the Classichammer nut I am, I'd snag these if the price wasn't as insane as I'm sure they'll be.
