@Boney Was the Arbiter announcing Thorek's presence using Eltharin?
At the time of that article, the volley gun fired 3 artillery dice worth of shots, at S4 and a range of 24".
I can't remember what the organ gun and volley gun rules in 7th edition where but in 8th edition is was 2 atri dice for the organ gun and it had a lower chance of misfire.
I've just been looking at the nerf the volley gun got and the buff the organ gun got in 7th and 8th.
First, yeesh. Second, having looked up the rules, how the fuck did anyone ever fire the Volley Gun? 42% chance of a misfire every time? Jesus.
Stuff like this also makes me wonder what the polite name for the War of the Beard is. Like, there definitely has to be a way, right?
You could choose not to fire all barrels, so it's not that bad.
I mean, according to the copy of the book I have, 6th says you fire all the barrels every time. Although yes, even in 8th 24" of "step here and die" is very useful. Although I think at this point we're off topic. I think there's a general WHFB thread around somewhere?
Ehh I'm ok with letting the conversation die. Just being a grognard
There is a way! And to think all it took was being hired by Karak Kadrin for an expedition full of dwarves after a century or two of exile.
What makes you say that? I don't think name translations is something that happens oftens so I don't see why there should be one for Elf-dwarfs?
You likely have to figure that the expenses of reclaiming the Grudge are added to the monetary compensation demanded. So it starts at two and a half pennies. Then it's two and a half pennies plus the cost of sending repeated messages after whatever grace period of freebies that may not actually exist because Dawi. Then it's that plus the wages, travel expenses, and lodging for the party you send to demand payment in person, continuing to add up as long as they're ignored or denied. Then it's the cost of mustering the Throng that you send to more forcefully demand payment.
That seems less like a polite way and more like Asarnil doesn't know a polite way so he talks around the thing, and that would make sense because he's Caledorian. But genuinely, I can't imagine that every Elf in the last 5000 years has been so anti-Dwarf that they only call it the War of the Beard.There is a way! And to think all it took was being hired by Karak Kadrin for an expedition full of dwarves after a century or two of exile.
The War of Vengeance is what the Dwarfs call it, and if you're polite or respectful towards the Dwarfs that's what you'd call it. I have yet to see an Elf call it the War of Vengeance however.
No Dwarf I've ever seen calls it the War of the Beard, and they certainly don't consider beards trivial. I think Elves call it the War of the Beard because they think the fact the war was fought over a beard is stupid and they're subtly making fun of the Dwarves for it.
These are elgi. There's undoubtedly at least seventeen different translations of War of the Beard that emphasize different aspects of it and subtly cast blame every which way.
The wording is quite ambiguous, but I get the feeling it was supposed to imply the dwarfs leveled the fortifications down to the flagstones, and then didn't stop when they started hitting the cities previously protected by said fortifications. Still not quite to the extent of poisoning civil water supplies and feigning surrender, though.
Not every forest has spirits associated with it. If so, the Ulrikadrin are killing allies of the Elves right now and so is every Imperial living next to a forest. If they want me to believe that there were spirits associated with those forests, they should mention it.
