Wargames Atlantic: Classic Fantasy Battles: Dwarven Host

TO WAR!

The Dwarves are a people of the stone. For thousands of years they have made their homes in mountain fastnesses and deep caverns - but these are no mean, rough-hewn spaces. For more than anything the dwarves are people who make. More than anyone in the World they are masters of mechanisms and art and craftsmanship beyond any of the other races whether in stone or wood or cloth or metal. Their Dwarvenholds are temples of wonder for those lucky few who are invited inside.

But their vast wealth has a dark facet: there are many who covet what the Dwarves own and are willing to fight to take it. Their greatest enemies are the goblin tribes who also make their homes in the dark places of the earth. Armies of orcs, ogres, or a necromancer’s undead host sometimes try their luck against Dwarven cities in the hopes of great wealth. The one threat the Dwarves fear the most is of dragons. Though they are few in number in this age, they can bring ruin and desolation all by themselves. Rumors of dragonkind are never dismissed lightly. 

When true war comes - when a War-King or the emissary of the High Queen calls - a Dwarvenhold’s muster is a sight to behold as hundreds and sometimes thousands of warriors march from their stone hall to bring their well-trained battle to the enemy.
