White dwarf have just released the new white dwarf model, a bram stocker van helsing-esque model with a comical vampire goblin and coffin. To honour the true white dwarf this post is focusing on a particular favourite dwarf of mine. In fact, the only two other dwarfs who I think are as impressive are all represented in a fantastic model diorama.
The white dwarf, or Grombrindal as he is properly known, is a dwarf ancestor. For a race which values and respects age as a significant indicator of personal worth, ancestors are vaunted above all others. By. Grombrindal isn't simply old. He singularly personifies dwarf-ness, he is the mountain. Hard and unforgiving as stone, and immovable as the rock which they come from. Born from the greatest betrayal to befall the dwarf race, from the greatest of their kind, Snorri Whitebeard died and was reborn as Grombrindal at the betrayal of Malkeith.
He is never ending. He will be with his race until the very end, fighting those who have betrayed his race. Strong, tough and almost invincible, he resides in you unit only to reveal himself when your unit is most in need.
Full rules for the model can be found here http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=&pIndex=4&aId=4600005a&multiPageMode=true&start=5 , Personally he is pretty pricey at 500pts, but for an unbreakable, str 6, ws 7 re-roll to hit, wound and forces your appointment to re-roll their armour save (which would be at best a 4+ due to his str), 1+ and 4++ with MR(3) he can single-handedly sit on an location and be immovable.
