Ulther Stonehammer

Description

This mod adds to the game Ulther Stonehammer as Legendary Lord, his henchman Borri Forkbeard as Champion and his Dragon Company as RoR for Karaz a Karak.

Ulther Stonehammer is a character from the 1987 3d edition of Warhammer Fantasy, he appeared only in this edition, together with his regiment.
This means that it corresponds to the lore, but not necessarily to the current lore. I know the original 1987 model looks different. However, I felt this was no longer appropriate for Total War Warhammer III and tried to interpret how Games Workshop would have done a rework in 2023.
History

Prince Ulther is the son and heir of the dwarf king Ulfar Stonehammer of Karak Ungor.

As he lay on his deathbed in exile in Karaz-a-Karak, he called for his son, who was then leading a campaign to the north. On his deathbed, he gave his son a small condition that he had to fulfill before he could become king: the extermination of all orcs, goblins and snotlings in his kingdom. He should also hunt down all chaos dwarves and their allies who crossed his path. The old ruler had once vowed to erase this blemish from the Dawi race. Therefore, Prince Ulther, together with his henchman Borri Forkbeard, formed a legendary regiment called Prince Ulther’s Imperial Dwarves. Since then, the troupe of dwarfs known as the Dragon Company, whose banner is adorned with a wooden dragon head from one of the carved bedposts of their father’s four-poster bed, have been roaming the area. Her battle cry "A dragon, a dragon!" is notorious. With his small unit, he acts mainly with guerrilla tactics that are not typical for dwarves and has already had a large number of successes. Today, he and his men roam the lands between Kislev and Karak Kadrin, hunting greenskins and chaos dwarves.

He has vowed not to accept the title of king until he can be crowned in the Great Hall of Karak Ungor.

While the dwarf prince tries to fulfill his late father’s "last grudge" by being given his axe, the old chancellor Gorm the Wise rules in his stead.

Ulther is capable of the human language Reikspiel. He wields a magical helm inlaid with the Rune of Furnace, as well as a magical ax inscribed with a Rune of Striking and a Rune of Fury. He also carries pistols and crossbows with him.
