Deathroller

From their fortress strongholds in and below the snow-capped mountains, the Dwarfs look out upon a world they once ruled. Many millennia of war and invasion have embittered the Dwarfs, forging them into a race of hardened warriors. Now they seek to reclaim what was once their own. They miss no opportunity to record a grudge and will go to any lengths to settle old scores with the edge of an axe. A Dwarf army is a formidable sight, with ranks of bearded and heavily armoured warriors, their shields and banners identifying clans, guilds and gods. The doughty steel-clad infantry are supported by powerful engines of war, machinery of destruction that no foe can match. While Dwarfs are unwilling to cast magic, they have learned to inscribe runes that can bind eldritch forces, allowing them to create weapons and armour of legend. Full of grim determination, when Dwarfs join battle, there is no retreat, only victory or death

Boiler Incident Table Chart

If two or more l's are rolled when rolling for its movement, you need to roll another D6 and consult the Boiler Incident Table. The driver can take the risk and increase the pressure of the steam boiler before choosing to move the Deathroller. This gives the Deathroller the Random Movement (3D6) special rule. 

Over-pressured Boiler

Unless stated otherwise, a model does not have a special rule. Most special rules are given to a model by the relevant entry in its Warhammer Armies book. In addition, a model's attacks can gain special rules because of the equipment it is using. Similarly, a model might get special rules as the result of a spell that has been cast upon it or perhaps even as the result of it being in a particular type of terrain. Where this is the case, the rule that governs the equipment, spell or terrain feature in question will make this clear. Most of the more commonly used special rules in Warhammer are listed here, but many troop types have their own unique abilities laid out in their Warhammer Armies book. Certain special rules partly consist of other special rules, all mentioned in the following pages. Unless otherwise noted, the effects of different special rules are cumulative. However, unless otherwise stated, a model gains no additional benefit from having the same special rule multiple times. This also applies to unique special rules in the various Warhammer Armies books that might contain special rules that are normally cumulative. Some special rules have an effect at the beginning of the battle, or before the game starts. These effects take place after both armies are deployed and any Deployment special rules have occurred but before the roll for first turn. Some special rules, especially in the Army Books, will affect models of a certain type. Note that special rules and spells such as this only ever affect friendly units from their own army, and will not affect enemy or allied units that happen to be in range. Eventually you are likely to come upon situations where two opposing special rules are in play. In these cases, the two special rules will simply cancel each other out either partially or completely, and neither will have an effect.

D6	Result
1	The ancient boiler cannot take the pressure and explodes, killing the pilot. Remove the Deathroller as a casualty. All units in base contact with the Deathroller suffer D6 Strength 4 Hits with the Armour Piercing special rule.
2-4	The boiler case breaks, causing a release of steam and forcing the pilot to seal the hole. The Deathroller may not move this turn or use its Grinding Attack. If it breaks from combat this round, it is automatically destroyed.
5-6	A valve breaks avoiding the worst. The Deathroller may only roll one D6 for each of its Movements this turn (including fleeing and pursuit).
