== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked by achieving the Gnollengrom tier at the end of an Age of Reckoning and recruiting them with the Grudge Settlers Recruitment panel
== Description ==
A treasured invention of the Engineers' Guild, it took many centuries for the flying machines known as Gyrocopters to gain acceptance among the more conservative Dwarfs. As the legend goes, the inventor was inspired by watching Dragons swooping down from inaccessible mountain crags, and so combined the idea of wings with the engines from drilling and grinding machines. Although originally used to fly over difficult mountain terrain and drop supplies and messages to beleaguered settlements, the Gyrocopter was soon tested over battlefields with great success. Its main armament is a steam gun, but over the years its firepower has been augmented with bomb payloads fitted into the craft’s stabilisers. In the present day, even small strongholds have an air fleet and skilled Engineer pilots as part of their throng.

== Strategy ==
Suffering none of the drawbacks that regular Trollhammers have - speed and line of sight - Trollhammer Gyrocopters are insanely effective anti-large units, and they should be considered a must-get whenever they become available through the Grudge Settler mechanic. Although particularly deadly against big SEMs, they can terrorise cavalry as well, and have the standard two payloads to hit infantry with too. 
Like all gyros they need to be kept away from anti-armor ranged units and flying units, but their mere presence is likely to drag these types of enemies away from the battle, giving your own ranged units a much better chance of leaving their mark.
