Karaz-a-Karak (Mortal Empires) Command

Grombrindal - The White Dwarf

Grombrindal is an enigmatic figure, recorded throughout the Dwarfs' history, appearing to give aid to his bearded kin whenever they find themselves in a particularly dire and unfavourable situation. Just what can one Dwarf do when a Karak is besieged by thousands of Greenskins, or a Dwarf throng surrounded and outnumbered by a warherd of braying, ravenous Beastmen, however? In Grombrindal’s case, it turns out that he can do quite a lot; the White Dwarf is a mighty warrior, some say bettered only by Grimnir himself. Every slash of his legendary axe see the heads of urks tumble from their dishonourable shoulders.

Abilities

• Foe-Seeker
  There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish.
• Flash Bomb
  A bang, a flash - the foes stagger slowly and blindly whilst you take full advantage of their disarray.
• Grombrindal Has No Fear
  As battle-hardened as he is ancient, the White Dwarf will always stand his ground, no matter the pandemonium unfolding around him.

Attributes

• Expert Charge Defence
  When bracing, this unit negates the charge bonus of any attacker.
• Encourage
  This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
• Unbreakable
  This unit does not suffer any form of leadership loss and will never rout.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armoured
  Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
• Armour-Piercing
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Melee Expert
  Melee Experts might have a very strong Charge Defence. Use them to counter other strong melee units. When facing them, it is best to take them out before they can enter melee.
