About
Unit Description
Who dares damage my engines!
Historical Description
Given the number of war machines with which the Dwarfs can equip themselves, it is not surprising to find members of the Engineers' Guild accompanying a throng to battle. To most Master Engineers, this "field work" is tiresome, as it takes them away from their forges and workshops and shows them first-hand how their beloved engines of destruction are dragged into position, dented by enemy shot and not as fully optimised as would be ideal. As all Dwarfs revere fine craftsmanship, their war machines are the most polished and best cared-for in the world, treated by their crews with all the respect due a venerable Clan member. Nonetheless, even this level of care falls well short of the wishes of the notoriously cantankerous Engineers. Master Engineers are doughty warriors who, although more interested in drafting plans for fortifications or designing new mines, are more than capable of fighting in the frontlines. To protect their precious war machines, they fight with all the determination and grit of their race.
Abilities
Ballistics Calibration
This Hero has an eye for accuracy, firing rates and enemy sweet spots. War machines will benefit from his presence.
Extra Powder
There are those who have a knack for pushing artillery and their crews to new heights, allowing such machines to fire further than ever before.
Entrenchment
All the sons of Grungni can dig-in, enabling them to better resist physical attacks from the foe. Any missile attacks they can make are also improved.
Strengths & Weaknesses
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.
Armoured
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
Ballistics Expert
This unit improves all nearby friendly missile units.
