| - Gromril, also known as Meteoric Iron or Star-Metal, is considered by many as one of the strongest and most valuable metals in the whole of the Warhammer World, rivaled only by the most ancient and powerful of Chaos Armour. Unlike other metal, Gromril is not a metal born from this universe but falls to the Warhammer World through the Warpgates of the northern and southern poles. It was the Dwarfs who first discovered the metal in different places where meteors have struck the Old World. In fact, gromril is only found in the presence of Warpstone. The reverse, however, is not true. Raw gromril is a silvery metal that is incredibly rare and valuable and only the Dwarfs know how to work it.

| - Gromril, also known as Meteoric Iron or Star-Metal, is considered by many as one of the strongest and most valuable metals in the whole of the Warhammer World, rivaled only by the most ancient and powerful of Chaos Armour. Unlike other metal, Gromril is not a metal born from this universe but falls to the Warhammer World through the Warpgates of the northern and southern poles. It was the Dwarfs who first discovered the metal in different places where meteors have struck the Old World. In fact, gromril is only found in the presence of Warpstone. The reverse, however, is not true. Raw gromril is a silvery metal that is incredibly rare and valuable and only the Dwarfs know how to work it. Gromril actually has more than one state. There are three methods of refining it and each method has different effects on the metal. The first method is widely known amongst the Dwarfs and turns raw Gromril into the refined Gromril that is used for coins, armor, shields, and weapons. This refined Gromril is sometimes called Mithril. The second method is not widely known among the Dwarfs and its secret is jealously guarded by the Master Smiths that do know it. This second method turns raw gromril into Adamant. The third method turns raw gromril into a crystalline metal known in legend as Laihtero. Many times more precious than gold, Gromril is used to make the best armor and weapons for the Dwarf nobility, and for the elite military units such as the Ironbreakers who guard the gates to the Underway. Because of its rarity, the Dwarfs do not trade items made of Gromril with other races.
