Jagermeisters

(get it... Jager rifles... famous German gun manufacturer of the Napoleonic & Am Civ War era... ah forget it!) Also a drink of course...

Doesn't Jagermeister also translate as 'Master Hunter' (or is it 'Huntmaster'?) which is still fitting, if perhaps not quite appropriate...

Got this off Wikki.... apparently its a lose translation of the poem off the Jagermeister bottle (that preserves the poems meter and rhyme in English translation)...

his is the hunter’s badge of glory,
That he protect and tend his quarry,
Hunt with honour, as is due,
And through the beast to God is true

If I understand the Wikki entry correctly, a more literal translation would be...

It is the hunter’s honour that he
Protects and preserves his game,
Hunts sportsmanlike, honours the
Creator in His creatures.


Neat poem. Not entirely inappropriate considering the fig. Might not relate so much to the dwarves roll on the battlefield, but would certainly reflect their normal role in dwarven society as hunters & forest wardens.

How about Game Wardens? Has anyone said that yet?

Gunners - The Dragon Hunters. Named for their specialty in facing down and matching the Elven Dragon's Claw bolt throwers in hitting power. This fighting unit was created in response to the elven victory at Black Pass. Each member of the company knows that the honour of their people must be reclaimed in elven blood using the superior craftsmanship and black powder knowledge of the dwarven smith

Both/Either - Steel Watchers. Foes of the dwarves know to be wary when venturing into their territory as any piece of terrain could conceal a waiting dwarf armed with a deadly Vignak long rifle or brutally powerful Burkiss crossbow. Many would-be scouts or invaders have fallen to the bullets and bolts of the Steel Watchers before they even realise their danger.
