Dwarf Gyrocopters
Bring unexpected aerial dominance to your dwarfen throng. The Dwarf Gyrocopter and Gyrobomber represent the absolute pinnacle of mountain engineering, capable of soaring over standard battle lines to strike vulnerable enemy flanks. This versatile box set allows you to build either a nimble harasser or a devastating siege bomber, providing your slow-moving infantry lines with essential tactical support.
Dwarf Gyrocopters
- Fast aerial support for a dwarf army that otherwise relies on slow infantry movement
- Dual-build option to assemble either a swift Gyrocopter or a heavily armed Gyrobomber
- Highly detailed plastic kit with various weapon options and pilot customization
What You Can Build from the Box
The kit contains all the plastic components required to assemble one airborne warmachine.
| Model | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Dwarf Gyrocopter | 1× |
| Dwarf Gyrobomber | 1× |
Masters of the Mountain Skies
Powered by complex steam boilers, these innovative flying machines allow dwarfs to match the speed of younger races. The standard Gyrocopter purges enemy ranks with a localized steam gun or a fiery brimstone gun. Meanwhile, the heavier Gyrobomber carries a massive payload of explosive ordnance designed to shatter tight enemy formations. For painters, the model offers a fantastic canvas of metallics, leathers, and mechanical details.
Role in the Throng
Fitting into the Special or Rare choices for the Dwarfen Mountain Holds, these war machines break the traditional slow playstyle of the dwarfs. They act as rapid-response elements, moving swiftly to eliminate enemy scouts, block charge lanes, or reinforce crumbling flanks.
Key Benefits of the Kit
- Vital mobility options for a traditionally slow infantry army
- Outstanding centerpiece model filled with intricate mechanical components
- Multiple build variations offer high replayability and conversion potential
Battlefield Matchups
- Light Infantry and Skirmishers: The Gyrocopter's steam gun template is devastating against tightly packed, lightly armored troops hiding in cover.
- Enemy War Machines and Archers: Fly directly over frontline barriers to drop bombs or shoot down defenseless crew members in the enemy backline.
- Tactical Overview: These flying war machines excel against static armies and fragile units. However, players must be cautious of heavy enemy missile fire and long-range magic, as the machine relies on its evasion and positioning rather than thick armor plates to survive.

Strategic Advice
| Key Element | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Flank Guarding | Position your flyer near table edges to intercept swift enemy light cavalry attempting to charge your artillery. |
| Lineup the Template | Fly along the sides of long enemy columns so that your steam template covers maximum targets. |
| Heavy Bombing Runs | Save your Gyrobomber’s ammunition for expensive elite infantry units where the blast damage is most valuable. |
| Safe Retreats | Use your flying movement rules to hop back over friendly lines if a dangerous enemy flying monster targets you. |
Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I build both models out of a single box? | No, the box contains enough parts to build one complete flying machine. You must choose between the Gyrocopter or Gyrobomber variant during assembly. |
| Is the flying stem included in this kit? | Yes, a clear plastic flying stand with a ball-joint attachment and the correct square base for the game system is included. |
| Which weapon setup is better for general lists? | The standard Gyrocopter with a Steam Gun is highly recommended for beginners, as it automatically hits units under its template, bypassing ballistic skill checks. |
| What glue works best for the flying clear stand? | We recommend super glue for joining the clear stem to the painted plastic body, as standard plastic glue can cause clear plastic to cloud up. |
What to Add Next
| What Next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Ironbreakers | An unbreakable infantry vanguard that holds the enemy in place while your flyers drop bombs from above. |
| Dwarf Cannon | Classic long-range fire support to soften up targets before your air force mops them up. |
Recommended Next Steps
| Related Step | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Expand the Flight | Pick up another kit to assemble the alternate variant, creating a versatile and terrifying dwarfen air wing. |
