Hi!
Here's a requested thunderer (altough embryodead already did one way back in 2003 - I think - some people wanted a bit different aaglo-style thunderer - so here it is). Enjoy :)

Here's some civilopedia info from the games workshop website:
Although some more traditional Dwarfs still regard the handgun with suspicion, it has become as common a sight in Dwarf armies as the crossbow. The Dwarfs who specialise in the handgun have become known as Thunderers. Being naturally methodical as well as mechanically gifted, they will continue to load and fire in a disciplined manner, even when the enemy are right on them, rarely suffering the misfires that would afflict less-disciplined troops. Many Thunderers will have crafted their own handguns, incorporating additional improvements of their own or the latest ideas from noted Engineers. There is some rivalry between Thunderers regarding what makes for the most accurate weapon, resulting in Dwarf handguns being the most precise weapons of their type in the world.

Here are the files:

I knew you were working on something, :D. Thank you so much, aaglo! The gun is modern enough to use as an industrial/modern unit in Lord of Ragnarok. You rock!

My sentiments exactly! This is going straight into the FF mod as the Industrial Era defensive unit for the Dwarven Kingdom (well, as soon as the file server comes back up). I'm using the Organ Cannon as a Dwarven "Machine Gun" for the modern era.
 
So, apperantly, in aagloeese, No means Yes. Or something. Hurrah!

You know, I secerelty really wanted this. Not that I dislkike the old thunderer, but because since GDFM has 3 dorf civs, I wanted 3 dorf muskets!
 
Thanks, aaglo. I also secretly really wanted this. :)
