DWARF IRONSTORM REGIMENT

or STEELSTORM REGIMENT

thus; Ironstormers,
Steelstormers,
Ironstorm marksmen,
steelstorm marksmen.

Also Thunderstorm(too GW) or Leadstorm, not good for xbows

**BalaruunSkyWizard**

As other people have mentioned, the words Dwarf, Dwarven can go in front of these, along with the previous post.

~ Grim Wardens

~ Destructors

~ Stormers

~ Soul Splitters (maybe this one for an elite close combat unit)

~ Vindicators

~ Silvershots

~ Watchers

~ Terminators (Just because dwarven terminators would be awesome)

Dwarf strelets

Dwarven strelets

**kaun666**

It needs to be a name appropriate for both weapon types, so maybe 'Stunt Shot[s]' or something but it depends purely on their fluff really. If they meant for capping enemies attempting to attack the gates, something like 'Garrison[s]' or 'Stone Guard' is acceptable. But if they are foresters and hunters, a name like 'Pathfinder[s]' or 'Dwarfish Ranger[s]' more appropriate.

Dwarven Brightbullets-

A crackle of fire and the entire field exploded in sheets of flame. The orcs cried in fear as their line suddenly had holes where warriors once stood, felled as if in shock to the great long sticks that blew fire and smoke.

Grugurk, warlord of this band of orcs charged foward, attempting to close the distance between him army and his eternal enemies. The survivors closed ranks behind him and started hollering, clanging their swords and shields as they surged foward.

Grugurk noticed the dwarves had dropped their flame sticks. He smiled as they started turning and scrambling to find weapons for the melee that was about to commence.

Suddenly, the dwarves turned as one and presented a line of glinting crossbows, each bolt head covered in flame.

"Fire!" bellowed one of the dwarves. Lines of fire streaked out and hit the remaining orcs hard.

Grugurk staggered back as no less than three penetrated through his armor, but failed to fell him. Looking quickly back, his retinue of orcs was all but decimated. Most were on the ground, dead or attempting to put out the fire on their person. The rest were fleeing away in the opposite direction.

The orc warlord turned back, jaundiced eyes seething in hatred as the dwarves were now methodically approaching with axe and sword. Grugurk attempted to raise his own sword in one last defiant stand.

It fell from his grasp.

Puzzled, Grugurk attemped to bellow out in defiance, charging with all his fervor at the dwarves.

He sagged to his knees, his body betraying his intent.

Finally, he noticed his ragged breath. Looking down through dimming vision, he saw red fletching.

A bolt had pierced his throat, and his lifeblood had trickled out down his neck.

Grugurk fell foward and became another victim to the Brightbullets.

May have 'Dwarf', 'Dwarven' or 'Dwarfen' in front of these names.

1) Stonereapers

2) Minesweepers

3) Widowmakers

4) Wretchsappers

5) Bearded Guard

6) The Buletbane

7) Axerifles

8) Gunsappers
