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...

Powering through the chaos of battle with their steam engines, RuneAxe ironclads are tasked with entangling enemy ships, their grapples punching through hulls and ensnaring masts, drawing the two vessels inexorably into close engagement. Only then does the RuneAxe deploy its secret weapon: the boarding ramps that could well be mistaken for gunport shields drop down, crunching onto the gunwales...

The Hunter is the dwarfs’ lightest and fastest vessel, taking its name for its coastal patrols that tenaciously hunt down pirates, and keep raiders at bay. In large numbers, Hunters are capable fighting vessels, though their lack of heavy ordnance makes them little more than an annoyance to the enemy’s main battle ships. In battle, therefore, they are more likely to be found carrying urgent...

The GrimmStone is the mainstay of the dwarf fleet – it is the most standardised in its construction of all dwarf ships, and newly promoted Warsmiths can, with relative ease, construct and  command such a vessel. They are numerous, sturdy and dependable. Despite their low gun count, their rate of fire coupled with increased accuracy from their broadside sponsons makes them the equal to...

The Dwarf Fury quickly became one of the most feared vessels of its class. The Fury plays upon the greatest fear of all sailors serving within the confines of a ship: fire! The upper deck of the Fury is dedicated almost entirely to a gigantic flame belcher, while below deck, volatile fuel reserves are contained within triple-armoured tanks.

War Galleys cross the open seas with square-rigged sails, but when battle is joined they lower their oars to outmanoeuvre the foe. Enemy captains often make the mistake of believing War Galleys to be crewed by mindless revenants, summoned into being by hapless necromancers – but nothing could be further from the truth. In death, as in life, galley captains are skilled tacticians, and highly...

These swift-moving sailships, so named for their blade like silhouette, are designed to entangle enemy ships, buying time for the War Galleys to arrive in support. Upon the deck stands a cohort of powerful Revenants, the elite troops of the Empire of Dust. Once engaged, the prow of the Khopeshii acts like a boarding ramp, allowing the Revenants to fight their way aboard the enemy vessel,...
