Armada : Dwarf Thunderer

Description

It is unusual for the dwarfs to take inspiration from other races, particularly in feats of engineering, and even more so when it comes to matters of black powder weaponry. But the Thunderer is the direct answer to the Basilean Gunbrigs, and as close to an admission of failure as the dwarfs would ever come. During Golloch’s siege of the Golden Horn, it was Gunbrigs that rained down heavy fire on the dwarfs, whilst they themselves had no answer. Had they been able to deploy similar vessels against the city, the outcome may well have been different. Still, the Warsmiths took the challenge upon themselves to improve the crude human designs, and at last perfect the Thunderer.
