When the first expeditions to recover the lost holds of their ancestors took place the dwarves discoverd one problem with assualting what had been a dwarf fort. Such was the solid nature of the walls construction that normal cannons had difficulty knocking them down. So was born the dwarf seige cannon. Firing a larger ball and using a much bigger gunpowder charge this cannon was soon to be found in service throughout the dwarf realms
To fire the Seige cannon
you use the following procedure.
| First pivot the Seige cannon so that it is pointing in the direction that you wish to fire. |
| Then draw a straight line from the cannon out to its maximum range of 48" or until the line of fire hits an object with toughness 7 or more. |
| Any unit / object along this line suffers an artillery dice worth of wounds with no armour saving throw of any kind allowed. |
| If a misfire is rolled the cannon ball ploughs into the ground just in front of the unit showering it with clods of mud but causing no damage. The shot ends there. |
