Description

"Dwarfs prize plain-speaking, so when a weapon is named 'Skull Axe', there should be no doubt as to its intended purpose."

- In-game description, Ghalaz

Advantages

• Light Attacks have good stagger values and make short work of armoured elites.
• Heavy Attacks are very effective vs. super armour elites like Chaos Warriors, and get rid of breakable shields.
• Minor movement slowdown while attacking and blocking, and very effective dodges, translates into very high overall mobility.

Disadvantages

• No cleaving attacks means hordes can overwhelm you with large numbers. Effective movement and mixing in Push moves while fighting hordes can mitigate this weakness.
