    Hope you enjoyed the episode! As seen in the short trailer shown at the end of the video. The upcoming episode is going to be a battle in the middle of the Drakwald forest. Also, if any of you guys know who made the illustration shown @1:45 let me know so I can give proper credits and link to the artist.

      5:15 is epic music and storytelling it make me feel sad for the dwarfs though they have many Alliances in the end they are Alone when Fighting in the DEEPS of the Underworld 😭👏👏

    I remember the joy, when in Dwarf Campaign I have managed to retake all Holds from Lahmia tomb-city and to the very Norska (former) lands. Greenskins and Vampire Counts were completely obliterated, and their vile cities - conquered by the Dawi and their allies. The mighty Desert Kings, Last Defenders of Lizardmen and Chivalrous Bretonian Knights didn't dare to rival the might of Thorgrim The Grudgebearer and Grombrindal the White Dwarf. When Chaos hordes begone their conquest, only Dwarven and Imperial armies stood on the verge of Eastern Oblast, near the retaken city of Praag. It was a tough conflict for years, but when the Everchosen stepped in action, battle has turned into bloody massacre. Many good dwarfs and men has died on that day, protecting their world against slaves of Ruinous Powers. Karl Franz and Thorgrim personally fought the Archaon. This fight has cost King of the Dawi his life, when he defended the Emperor, which gave latter the opening to finish the monstrous fiend. On that day the Debt of Kurgan Ironbeard to Sigmar was finally paid. The great beginning for both humans and dwarfs has started.

      Dunno what you're on about, mate. The Kislevite kossars had already taken care of any Chaos Warriors by the time Karl Franz or Thorgrim Grudgebearer made it up north. Another year, another invasion broken by the spears, swords and bullets of the sons of Kislev.

By the time my clash with Chaos begins they decided to attack one of my unprotected cities. Should I describe what my fleet of gyrobombers has done to this cretins?

      Dwarves like to hide behind their walls and wait their enemies out, praying to their false gods for salvation. We prefer to take the fight to Chaos, with fire and steel! Ursen does not protect the feeble and cowardly and I assure you that the Sons of the North are furthest from that.

      You should try steel faith overhaul my dudes. In my experience it makes dwarf armies hardy and strong but nonetheless routinely overwhelmed by greenskins. The mod does all sorts of things to make stuff more loreful eg. Vampires move nearly as fast as a horse, elves and dwarves have small more elite armies, on the campaign map the greenskins have crazy growth rates and the elves and dwarves have very slow ones

Man, It would be Impossible to Win with angrund without those 2 units of ironbreakers in the capital And the ancestor ghosts.
