Editing Thunderbarge (section)

==The Lore==
Dwarfs are resistant to new ideas generally. This was part of their gift from the [[Old Ones]], which was designed to prevent them from falling to [[Chaos]] or being manipulated by it. Sadly, although Dwarfs have pioneered basically all technology in the setting (what, you thought [[The Empire (Warhammer Fantasy)|the Germans]] invented anything? That shit was welfare because they owed [[Sigmar]] a favor) they require centuries of something sitting in the prototype stage before they put it into field tests, and even then the gray-bearded Engineers are pissed off about it.

Thanks to [[Thorgrim Grudgebearer]] and his realistic approach to attempting to bring back the golden age of the Dwarfs quite a few experimental things that haven't even gathered dust have been pressed into use, before the technology has been perfected. Among this new tech is flying machines, and among the many designs of flying machines is the zeppelin. What's the zeppelin good for exactly? The crazy fucking Engineer that designed it took everyone else's designs (360 degree swivel guns, cannons, bombs) and said "Why can't it also ram things?" then sent out the blueprints. Only the craziest of Engineers have it in them to build one, let alone actually take it into battle.

Zhufbar has launched three so far. The first was shot down in the Black Vale, the second was sent on a diplomatic mission to [[Nulndon|Nuln]] and disappeared, and the third has so far managed to survive three battles including one where it obliterated the Knuckle Scrapers tribe of [[Orcs & Goblins|greenskins]] with bombs. Its called the "Wrath Of Thunder", built and piloted by Sven Hasselfrapp.

Oh, thought the above was a bit crazy? Those insane motherfuckers in Barak Varr also managed to build a gigantic submarine aircraft carrier that launches them in [[Dreadfleet]].
