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. |
