The Ironbreakers are the elite warriors of the Dwarfen Mountain Holds, sworn to guard the deep tunnels and mineshafts against the horrors that dwell beneath the Worlds Edge Mountains. Clad head to toe in masterfully forged gromril plate, they form an unyielding wall of steel in the lightless dark.
Where other dwarfs might flee the terrors of the deep, the Ironbreakers stand firm, their gromril armour turning aside blade, fang, and claw alike. They spend their lives in the perpetual gloom of the under-halls, holding the line against skaven, night goblins, and the crawling things that gnaw at the roots of the mountains.
Stoic and grim even by the standards of their dour race, the Ironbreakers are among the most respected of all dwarfen warriors, embodying the stubborn refusal of their people to yield so much as a single hard-won hall to the encroaching darkness.
