Crazy how much content this DLC is getting compared to shadows of change. This is really looking like the top tier work we were seeing towards the end of Warhammer II. I'll reserve full judgement until I actually get my hands on it, but so far so good CA.

Wonderful reference

the dwarf rework looks amazing. they were always one of my favorite faction to play and i am so happy they got some much needed love

"Your time is valuable" Y'know what? That alone made my day better

I remember ever since WH1 released, the Dwarfs had a tech in their tech tree that mentioned how their shields were designed to lock together with the guy beside you. It's so cool finally having an actual shield wall mechanic. That should help prevent cavalry and monsters from just smashing straight through the front lines.

This is by far the best breakdown video I've seen from this DLC drop.

Great video! Thank you for the info! Can't wait!

So many great changes. Trollhammer Gyrocopters, better Gyrobombers, Brimstone Gyrocopters that spit fire (although they still need some buffs as I heard), the Grudge Score system overall and the ability to rebuild the Underway, the shieldwall formation and so on. And then they ruin everything with this strange annoying Waagh mechanic that controls the player instead of the other way around. I really hope that they fix this crap before this goes live. Otherwise I will have to wait for the SFO update to play Dwarves.

Biggest impact with the tree rework (which is really just a reordering) rat poison early and cheap. Massive game changer.

I have always loved the dwarves. I am so excited. I'm glad CA is getting a comeback arc.

Ooohhhh yes. Its time to settle some grudges! An age of reckoning indeed! Kazoom!

Its lore-accurate. A wall of gromril shields can withstand a trolls kick!

3:18 that says *trollhammer torpedos* which is a helluva lot better than brimstone guns

Dwarvern air force is truly real now

time to purge some knife-ear and claim the vault anvil!@#!@#

Formations!? No way! As a total war veteran, I've been waiting for this for so long. OP against the AI but fair due to their debuffs. I miss defending my town against 2000 sassanians against my puny garrison with my flanking scout equites as ERE in Attila. I hope that this will be implemented to other factions especially the empire. Melee units are almost obsolete in that faction

Im so happy that they decided to buff the best unit in the dwarf army by making them deflect artillery, no clue how they can make hammerers an attractive option when ironbreakers get a buff that large

Hack and slash on the lord is a seriously good buff on the melee line !

The shield wall would probably block the projectile damage, but not the explosive damage. at least thats my guess

Honestly, well done Creative Assembly!! 🎉

*Diggy Diggy hole intensifies*

I feel like the shield wall is more spread around, such as Bretonnia, Lizardman, definitely empire, certainly high elves as a sort of tech where yes they do get shield wall but get it improved so they can be sort of on par with dwarves. However despite dwarves being vertically challenged, I am atleast glad their vertically challenged problem solvers are relegated to a special condition because the AI would continue to spam them. However dwarves ignoring anti-infantry trait, its been a problem but I do not know if they still have that.

In order to confederate the other dawi legendary lords there should be an alternative if their faction were eliminated consisting in controlling certain holds. K8P for Belegar, Karak Azul for Thorek and the relating starting settlements for Thorgrim, Ungrim and Grombi

The reckoning has come fellow Dawi. Let's settle some kruttin' grudges!

Great video dude, thx a lot!

Honestly this looks amazing

getting physical resist for your warrior is such a nice thing.

Do you still have to fight 5-6 battles against Skarsnik for the Rune of Spite? Currently if you destroy the faction too early you don't get the rune.

Do you know is the runes are still limited? Currently certain runes can only be crafted once or trice. Is that still a thing?

Is the shieldwall only for campaign or some unit will have it built-in?

Holy, the dwarfs look amazing now. What a rework.

wow, this was a huge rework, I love it

Empire and Dwarf have always been the best factions lore wize. Really was a shame we didn't get more empire lords than we have, but both of these updates look really good.

Do the personal grudges that each Dwarf used to have still exist in some form? You used to be able to get some good runes out of doing them

My goodness that tech tree looks so clean compared to what we've had

So many good changes for the dawi and I love it. Maybe now I'll recruit the copters. Increasing their models is _very_ significant buffs.

Wait so the Age of reckoning is an nonstop event ? and if you delay it you'll have to collect more grudges? I'm not sure I'll enjoy being on stim all the time , I mean it sounds cool but all the time?

So you can get ghost heroes if you confederate via mechanic?

cant wait to make a proper dawi airforce now

Whoo! Loving the dwarves again. I can't wait for my army to have real aerial reinforcements while my infantry turtle underneath.

Lol, and here I was thinking that I'd play some Empire. Noooope. Dwarfs it is.

Is this for all versions or only 3?

I cant wait to fight end game dwarfs with every lord having 100 melee defense, But these changes are really cool.

Anyone know if gyros got fire whilst moving? Always seemed wierd when they have to stop to fire.

Thanks for the video

Gyros have AP now? Beautiful.

Personally I like it when the game attempts to line up with the table top version as closely as possible. Not sure how I feel about adding a ton of stuff that is in no way reflected on any version of the tabletop rules and abilities.

Although I wonder if the AI artillery is smart enough to ignore the ironbreaker shield wall and go for other units on very hard battle difficulty?

Would like to see the shield wall in action, no one has shown it yet it seems

3 months from now, the player base: The Dwarfs are in a serious need of a rework

Finally dwarf bros we will raise

This sounds like an ELGI scheme!

They're immune to direct damage from artillery, but not DOT damage left by things like poison wind mortars, correct?

Did Ungrim get anything special? There seems to be a wall of silence surrounding Ungrim, both here and in other vids covering the Dawi update. Either CA forgot him, or there's something still under embargo. I really hope it's the latter, because with Gelt finally becoming unique from Franz, it would be a shame if Ungrim remained stuck in Thorgrim's shadow as "the useless guy up north you confederate at some point".
