Although some more traditional Dwarfs still regard the handgun with suspicion, it has become as common a sight in Dwarf armies as the crossbow. The Dwarfs who specialise in the handgun have become known as Thunderers. Being naturally methodical as well as mechanically gifted, they will continue to load and fire in a disciplined manner, even when the enemy are right on them, rarely suffering the misfires that would afflict less-disciplined troops. Many Thunderers will have crafted their own handguns, incorporating additional improvements of their own or the latest ideas from noted Engineers. There is some rivalry between Thunderers regarding what makes for the most accurate weapon, resulting in Dwarf handguns being the most precise weapons of their type in the world.

Since the Dwarfs first came to the Worlds Edge Mountains the crossbow has ever been their ranged weapon of choice. It will easily outrange the puny bows of the Goblins and is powerful enough to drop even a Black Orc in his tracks. In more recent times, devotees of the handgun have grown in numbers to the extent that the crossbow is no longer entirely the dominant weapon. The crossbow will never disappear entirely though. The Quarrellers that remain are a stubborn bunch, preferring to trust their own estimates of range and wind than rely on a new-fangled sight. If nothing else, many of them begrudge the cost of powder when a bit of elbow grease will propel a quarrel as far as a bullet.

Not all Dwarfs live in great holds under the mountains. Some clans dwell above ground, trading with Men and operating their own businesses such as mines and breweries. For such clans the battle against the Greenskins is a daily challenge, with raiding commonplace. The tradition has developed for Dwarfs to band together to defend their communities against these threats and to settle grudges by hunting down the culprits. Such bands have become known as Rangers. Armed with their preferred great axes, bands of Rangers have brought a bloody reckoning to many an enemy of Dwarfkind.
