Irondrakes

Availability

• Part of the original Total War: Warhammer Dwarf roster. Available to playable Dwarf factions in Immortal Empires through Total War: Warhammer, The King and the Warlord, or Malakai – Thrones of Decay.

Weapon variants

Irondrakes

Drakeguns project flame into enemy infantry. A clear, close-range shot is central to their battlefield job.

Irondrakes (Trollhammer Torpedoes)

A separate projectile weapon for large threats and armour. Select this entry for that role rather than expecting the flame variant to do the same job.

Prepare a firing lane before contact

Place Irondrakes behind a protected opening or on a secure side of the infantry line. Dwarf Warriors can pin enemies while the shooters work from an angle. Watch the terrain as well as friendly bodies: a slope or obstruction can spoil the shot.

Stop firing or change the target when friendly troops move into the line of fire. Their armour helps them survive danger, but a unit trapped in melee loses its shooting role. Keep another regiment close enough to intercept attackers.

Engineering troops for the throng

Irondrakes belong to the original Dwarf roster, with recruitment tied to the infantry workshop chain. The flame and Trollhammer entries are separate recruitment choices. Plan a workshop in a protected recruitment province rather than relying on replacements at a distant front.

They fit armies led by the Dwarf lords, including Malakai's engineering force. Check what the army already handles well: Drakeguns add an infantry target role, while torpedoes complement a formation that needs an answer to large enemies.
