Shell the approach
Use the mortar on slow, dense formations before they reach your line. Once melee starts, look for targets away from your own troops rather than firing into a crowded fight.
Artillery needs protection. Keep Infernal Guard or another reliable regiment between the mortar and enemy cavalry, and watch for flyers coming over the line.
Hell-Forge capacity
The Dreadquake Mortar is part of Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs. The Hell-Forge sets how many units of each war machine category you can field, so raising capacity is part of planning an artillery army.
A recruitment building opens the option, but you also need spare Hell-Forge capacity to add another mortar to an army.
A gunline army
Chaos Dwarf armies combine a sturdy infantry line with heavy firepower. Infernal Guard hold, Fireglaives and war machines shoot, and K'daai Fireborn counter-attack anything that breaks through.
Astragoth, Drazhoath and Zhatan all lead Chaos Dwarf campaigns. Gorduz Backstabber adds a Hobgoblin hero to the same armies.
