Gromril Gunners

Ironbreakers are charged with the defense of some of the tightest tunnels in Karaz Ankor, and can be downright deadly when you place a gun in their hands.

Using the latest in shortened musket barrels and cartridge ammunition, these troops are excellent at breaking up an orcish charge before it reaches the iron-clad line.

Not my favorite build, so I sort of lost interest toward the end. I won't win any points for creativity on this mod, but someone might find the unit useful. I may end up leaving it out of my final compilation unless I can find an interesting spin for it. So I'll probably revist the idea at another time.

These are essentially Ironbreakers using greataxes and rifles instead of axe/shield and blasting charges. Stats have been modified to accomodate the changed role and added versatility. Specifically, this unit has a shorter range than any other ranged troop, even goblin archers. And less ammunition to boot. I don't beleive in direct upgrades that invalidate previously purchased units, so Thunderers remain a useful addition to your army despite the availability of these troops. They can be quite useful for softening up enemy regiments before melee contact, and their decent charge bonus, heavy armor, and armor-peircing axe will make them an excellent flanking force as well. A relativity short reload time will also make them very handy for intercepting enemy cavalry performing wide flanking maneuvers, but the lack of a charge defense bonus means any direct heavy cavalary charge will ensure they have a bad time.

Balance
- Pricey elite units. Shorter range, but faster reload time and a more powerful punch. Limited ammo makes them of limited use as skirmishers or heavy ranged support in pitched battles, and are better suited as linemen than primary firepower.

Compatibility
- No known issues so far.

Art
- Thumbnail artwork credited to Beaver-skin on Deviant art. Unit tile is created using composites and (bad) modifications performed by myself. I do not own either base asset.
