Warhammer Fantasy 4E: Lords of Stone and Steel
A Guide to the Empire of the Dwarfs and the Hold of Karak Norn
Many of the Dwarfs’ ancient holds have been pillaged by Orcs and Goblins or infested by the foul Skaven. Those that endure are scattered throughout the mountainsides bordering the Old World and stretching into lands beyond. Several outposts are dug into the Grey Mountains. Chief among them is Karak Norn, famed for its cannon foundries, cunning merchants, lively taverns, and redoubtable elite garrison, the Peak Guard. Mighty as the remaining holds are, enemies continue to assault them. Adventurers may find opportunity here, the rewards for those who help defend what remains of the Dwarf realm may be rich, but they pale in comparison to the loot that lies amongst its ruins.
Content includes:
- A guide to the Karaz Ankhor, the everlasting realm of the Dwarfs.
- Several important Dwarf patrons, including Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Ungrim Ironfist, and Gotrek Gurnisson.
- New downtime Events and Endeavours.
- Ideas for theming adventures to suit dealings with the Dwarfs. This includes discussion of relations with neighbouring nations and rival holds, both friendly and hostile, and how the Dwarf devotion to honouring oaths and exacting vengeance might lead to new adventures and dangerous complications.
- Rules for fighting underground combat.
- The warparty of Blistrox Blyte, a band of Skaven from Clan Morbidus whose plans to infect Dwarf outposts in the Grey
- Mountains is being complicated by internal divisions.
- A detailed guide to the hold of Karak Norn.

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.
This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.
OUR STANDARD
Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.
We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:
- CBCS Comic Grading Scale
- Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
- CGC grading standards
If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.
WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8
Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.
A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.
We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.
WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4
Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:
Bindery characteristics:
- Minor to moderate corner tears
- White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
- Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)
Printing characteristics:
- Slight color rub on back covers
- Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
- Wavy paper texture from the printing process
Spine characteristics:
- 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
- Minor non-color-breaking spine dings
These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.
OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY
We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.
We will replace or refund:
- Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
- Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
- Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped
For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
