-Rulings and Clarifications-

Dwarven Strategic Bonding: Without a Dwarf Hero?
Q. If I have NO dwarf hero, either because one was destroyed or because none was ever drafted, may I still take advantage of Dwarven Strategic Bonding in order to grant the Axegrinders +2 to their Move?
A. Yes. The Axegrinders get the extra 2 move whenever they activate but do not choose to bond. This means that if you do not draft a Dwarven Hero in your army, you will have fast dwarves with every activation.

OEAO: The Axegrinders of Burning Forge- The Dwarves are fantastic and are clearly the third best 4-man bonding melee squad in the game, only to Heavies and Knights. While I could talk about Dwarves forever, the main points are that they have solid stats, two excellent bonding heroes in Mogrimm and Darrak, and the option to forego bonding for 6 move. This last point is the biggest advantage they have as it lets them establish board control and develop up much better than Heavies. The only thing that keeps them in check is the lack of a 4th defense die, and generally you should not take Raelin with them. A-
