From their fortress strongholds in and below the snow-capped mountains, the Dwarfs look out upon a world they once ruled. Many millennia of war and invasion have embittered the Dwarfs, forging them into a race of hardened warriors. Now they seek to reclaim what was once their own. They miss no opportunity to record a grudge and will go to any lengths to settle old scores with the edge of an axe. A Dwarf army is a formidable sight, with ranks of bearded and heavily armoured warriors, their shields and banners identifying clans, guilds and gods. The doughty steel-clad infantry are supported by powerful engines of war, machinery of destruction that no foe can match. While Dwarfs are unwilling to cast magic, they have learned to inscribe runes that can bind eldritch forces, allowing them to create weapons and armour of legend. Full of grim determination, when Dwarfs join battle, there is no retreat, only victory or death

At the start of each Dwarf turn, the Brewmaster can bestow one of the following beers to himself and the unit he is with. Whenever the Brewmaster has given out a draught of brew, roll a D6. If you roll a '1', he and his unit suffer -1 to their Weapon Skill, Ballistics Skill and Initiative this turn due to their giddy and drunken disposition! Bugman's XXXXXX: A very rare beverage that is almost considered sacred by Brewmasters. Never as potent as it was, Bugman's original XXXXXX puts this new batch to shame but it is still a fine brew.
One draught of this brew adds +1 to the unit's Strength until the start of the Dwarf player's next turn. Dwarf Special Reserve: A fairly common but no less enjoyable brew. It is said to warm cold bellies and put spirit into the heart of any Dwarf who drinks it.
One draught of this brew gives the unit the Immunity (Psychology) special rule until the start of the Dwarf player's next turn. Troll Brew: This brew is so named due to the fact that the main ingredient is Troll blood! It may sound bizarre but mixed with the proper ingredients the blood of a Troll can take on a very sweet taste and have interesting effects upon the drinker.
One draught of this brew gives the unit the Regeneration (6+) special rule until the start of the Dwarf player's next turn.

Unless stated otherwise, a model does not have a special rule. Most special rules are given to a model by the relevant entry in its Warhammer Armies book. In addition, a model's attacks can gain special rules because of the equipment it is using. Similarly, a model might get special rules as the result of a spell that has been cast upon it or perhaps even as the result of it being in a particular type of terrain. Where this is the case, the rule that governs the equipment, spell or terrain feature in question will make this clear. Most of the more commonly used special rules in Warhammer are listed here, but many troop types have their own unique abilities laid out in their Warhammer Armies book. Certain special rules partly consist of other special rules, all mentioned in the following pages. Unless otherwise noted, the effects of different special rules are cumulative. However, unless otherwise stated, a model gains no additional benefit from having the same special rule multiple times. This also applies to unique special rules in the various Warhammer Armies books that might contain special rules that are normally cumulative. Some special rules have an effect at the beginning of the battle, or before the game starts. These effects take place after both armies are deployed and any Deployment special rules have occurred but before the roll for first turn. Some special rules, especially in the Army Books, will affect models of a certain type. Note that special rules and spells such as this only ever affect friendly units from their own army, and will not affect enemy or allied units that happen to be in range. Eventually you are likely to come upon situations where two opposing special rules are in play. In these cases, the two special rules will simply cancel each other out either partially or completely, and neither will have an effect.
