Grombrindal - The White Dwarf

is a Legendary Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer as a free DLC. 
In The Old World and Mortal Empires campaigns, he is one of the two Legendary Lord choices for the faction along with Thorgrim Grudgebearer. In Immortal Empires, he leads the faction.
== Description ==
Grombrindal is an enigmatic figure, recorded throughout the Dwarfs' history, appearing to give aid to his bearded kin whenever they find themselves in a particularly dire and unfavourable situation. Just what can one Dwarf do when a Karak is besieged by thousands of Greenskins, or a Dwarf throng surrounded and outnumbered by a warherd of braying, ravenous Beastmen, however? In Grombrindal’s case, it turns out that he can do quite a lot; the White Dwarf is a mighty warrior, some say bettered only by Grimnir himself. Every slash of his legendary axe see the heads of urks tumble from their dishonourable shoulders.

== Strategy ==
The White Dwarf occupies a unique role in the dawi armory. Lacking the raw killing power of the High King or the sturdy resilience of Ironhammer, it can be easy to dismiss the White Dwarf as the best Dawi lord. The reality is quite different. 
The White Dwarf excels as a compliment to your army - with his flash-bomb he can slow-down and deal immense damage to a variety of units, from elite infantry to the dreaded SEMs/chariots. Use him to lock enemy units in place and buy-time for your army to reform ranks or focus their fire appropriately, whilst his unbreakable nature enables him to hold the line until his last breath. 
In multiplayer, the Flash-Bomb, ideally complimented by the Rune Axe of Grombrdinal allows him to deal immense armour-piercing damage to priority units, whilst simultaneously lowering their morale drastically. But be wary - compared to his compatriots, he does lack some armour making him quite susceptible to focused missile fire.
On campaign, the ability to provide replenishment to all armies is extremely valuable due to the fact that the Dwarves factions have no heroes that can provide replenishment, slowing you down.
== Trivia ==
*Previously, Grombrindal could only be obtained through Steam codes that were given out for free in Games Workshop stores around the world from October 22, 2016 and continuing into November. Additionally codes for Grombrindal came with copies of Games Workshop's White Dwarf Magazine. Following this, he was unavailable for a few months. Then on January 19, 2017, Grombrindal became available as a free DLC on Steam.
