Dic is a mixed ranged character with good speed, good strength, and good endurance. Although [[Gaspar la Velfanar|Gaspar]] may be the more appealing option with more offensive skills and better range, Dic stands out from his counterpart by being the only character in the game that can regenerate armor for both himself and his allies using his wards. A good starting character for beginners, Dic is recommended for people who want a balanced character that can also help teammates. Dic is also a support type, with low stats, but has utilities for a team. He’s not bad for melee with his L attack, but nothing really specialized for it. His shotgun makes easy to finish an enemy. His EMP removes enemy’s armor, and ward charging ally’s AP.

Grombrindal, a.k.a. "The White Dwarf", is a unique special character from Warhammer Fantasy Battle associated with the Dwarfs army. On a meta-level, he is the iconic character for which their gaming magazine ''White Dwarf'' is named. In-universe, he is a mysterious dwarven warrior with an impressively long, white beard who sometimes appears when Dwarfs are beset by a particularly great and terrible battle, hurling himself into the fray and assuring the eventual victory of dwarfkind.

Who 'The White Dwarf' is nobody knows, but a theory that many fans share and which Games Workshop heavily teases is that he is the spirit of Snorri Whitebeard, last High King of the Dwarfs before The War of the Beard.

The Senior General of Ginia. When the evil generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire who dreamed to govern the world suspected his downfall, and spread his blood relatives on the ground by manipulating his genes. The plan was to create the so-called ‘children of the generalissimo’. The by-product of the plan was Dic. Although Dic was born with cursed blood, he vowed to use his given power for righteousness and peace. He is serious, but he doesn’t understand that the eccentric character of dwarves could make other people displeased. Dic’s power comes from the special protein molecule carved into his body. This protein molecule is a sort of non-duplicable master key, which can receive preferential power transmitted from a reaction furnace located in Rockport, the city of the dwarves. Dic’s power armor resource comes from Dic himself. The problem is that the power used by Dic is similar to the one used by the generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire in the past, so some people suspect that Dic might be the reincarnation of the generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire. On the contrary, the three scientists who worked for the generalissimo speak without hesitation that Dic is a ‘failure’. The generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire had capabilities close to God. Compared to that, Dic is just a mediocre clone of the generalissimo. Dic’s abilities obviously can’t be compared with those of the generalissimo, but nobody doubts that he sides with righteousness and will use his power to prevent the evil ambition of the generalissimo and his followers."

In essence, before Malekith got his douchebag ass burned to a crisp by Asuryan, he and Snorri were best buds, so much so that when Snorri lay dying, Malekith was invited to see him on his deathbed. Snorri asked Malekith to agree to his dying oath that dwarfs and elves would always be friends, and Malekith agreed. As we all know, Malekith later broke that oath by manipulating the dwarfs and the elves into a hugely destructive war that ruined both races. The theory goes that this heinous betrayal of a sworn deathbed oath between two once-best friends was so mystically powerful it hauled Snorri's soul out of the dwarven afterlife, and ever since he has been determined to exact vengeance upon all enemies of dwarfkind. One must wonder how Malekith would explain this to his dwarf bud now that he got to be king of all the Elves evar, and thus isn't as much of a vindictive asshole.

Like the true badass he is, Grombrindal posses up with the two other baddest dwarfs on the planet, Gotrek Gurnissonand Josef Bugman to defend the dwarfs during The End Times
  
   
−
In a meta sense, he serves as a living example of the lost vision of Games Workshop as a company, as Grombrindal was invented back in the days when creativity was touted above marketing (and before they decided to focus on their cash cows). Rules weren't pointlessly overcomplicated for the sake of dosh, and armies didn't cost entire organs and limbs. In short, Games Workshop GOT SHIT DONE, and the dwarf was a strong figure. However, soon GeeDubs fell for the allure of the money and began exploiting all sorts of methods just to gather more, and in these days, the Dwarf just...vanished, and the magazine followed some time after. Some say this was the dwarf attempting to abandon ship as the world he knew got sold out for more money. With the 2014 reboot of the magazine, Grombrindal was found once more, but now he is just a hollow shell of his former glory, used only to answer tedious questions, practically all of them being about a universe in the far future, answered by the powers of the corporation. In a similar way, Geedubs tries almost too eagerly to appeal to everyone, but consistently missing the bigger goal by making things more costly, even if thing became more streamlined.

==Trivia==
−
=== The Models[edit] ===
  
  +
*Dic was one of the first three characters created for Archeblade along with [[Renny (Flame)|Renny]] and [[Valle Estrada Draco Emperatore|Valle]].
−
As if to add insult to injury, for a time, Games Workshop tried releasing special novelty versions of Grombrindal's model. Each model had a limited run, with its mould being destroyed at the end of the year, and they charged exorbitant prices for them. It started with a free model for when he got released for issue #348, then a special anniversary-celebrating collector's edition depicting Grombrindal on a shield being toted by Gotrek Gurnisson and Josef Bugman (where do you think GW got the idea for it in the End Times, hmm?). Then came the wave of novelty versions, including a pirate version, an aviator, a vampire slayer, a movie director, and even a spacesuited Grombrindal.
  
  +
*Dic is the only character in the game that has the ability to regenerate AP with his rage skill.
−
: In 2016, after 3 years from the last Grombrindal model, he came back in the Age of Sigmar... but no new model, it's just the plastic  Duardin Unforged painted in different colors and with different rules. Yay.
  
  +
*Dic was originally named Dick in the earlier versions of the game, but this was later changed.
−
Making up for this in 2017 two kits were released: the first a diorama of the White Dwarf enjoying his 40th real world birthday wearing Power Armor and swigging from a flagon, surrounded by presents including a Bolter, while the Black Gobbo lurks from inside the cake. The second a Blood Bowl pack of him and the Black Gobbo which are useable in the game.
  
  +
* Before the change, some fans also called him Richard instead of Dick.
  +
[[File:DicInABoxScreenshot.png|thumb|200px|An early screenshot of how the box would of been used.]]
  +
*Originally, Dic's guarding animation would have him hide under a cardboard box. This was planned to be a reference to the Saturday Night Live sketch, "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_in_a_Box Dick in a Box]," but the concept was scrapped due to a networking problem that would occur whenever Dic would guard. [http://steamcommunity.com/app/207230/announcements]
  +
* Some fans have also pointed out the resemblance to how Solid Snake hides in a box from the Metal Gear Solid series.
  +
*Dic's original concept art has him out of his armor and looking slighly younger.

Dic The Megaton

Dic is a mixed ranged character with good speed, good strength, and good endurance. Although Gaspar may be the more appealing option with more offensive skills and better range, Dic stands out from his counterpart by being the only character in the game that can regenerate armor for both himself and his allies using his wards. A good starting character for beginners, Dic is recommended for people who want a balanced character that can also help teammates. Dic is also a support type, with low stats, but has utilities for a team. He’s not bad for melee with his L attack, but nothing really specialized for it. His shotgun makes easy to finish an enemy. His EMP removes enemy’s armor, and ward charging ally’s AP.

Suggested skill:

LR + JR or LLL

Profile

"Dwarven ‘Symbol’ Hero"

The Senior General of Ginia. When the evil generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire who dreamed to govern the world suspected his downfall, and spread his blood relatives on the ground by manipulating his genes. The plan was to create the so-called ‘children of the generalissimo’. The by-product of the plan was Dic. Although Dic was born with cursed blood, he vowed to use his given power for righteousness and peace. He is serious, but he doesn’t understand that the eccentric character of dwarves could make other people displeased. Dic’s power comes from the special protein molecule carved into his body. This protein molecule is a sort of non-duplicable master key, which can receive preferential power transmitted from a reaction furnace located in Rockport, the city of the dwarves. Dic’s power armor resource comes from Dic himself. The problem is that the power used by Dic is similar to the one used by the generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire in the past, so some people suspect that Dic might be the reincarnation of the generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire. On the contrary, the three scientists who worked for the generalissimo speak without hesitation that Dic is a ‘failure’. The generalissimo of the Dwarf Empire had capabilities close to God. Compared to that, Dic is just a mediocre clone of the generalissimo. Dic’s abilities obviously can’t be compared with those of the generalissimo, but nobody doubts that he sides with righteousness and will use his power to prevent the evil ambition of the generalissimo and his followers."

An early screenshot of how the box would of been used.

  • Originally, Dic's guarding animation would have him hide under a cardboard box. This was planned to be a reference to the Saturday Night Live sketch, "Dick in a Box," but the concept was scrapped due to a networking problem that would occur whenever Dic would guard. [1]
  • Some fans have also pointed out the resemblance to how Solid Snake hides in a box from the Metal Gear Solid series.
  • Dic's original concept art has him out of his armor and looking slighly younger.
