Dwalin the Dwarf, Champion of Erebor

A model wearing Heavy Dwarf armour will add 3 to their Defence characteristic.

Where a model is listed as having a type of armour in its profile, then the improvement in its Defence characteristic will already have been included in their profile. If a model has the opportunity to upgrade one type of armour to another, then they will replace one with the other - they will not get the Defence benefits of both.

These are Unique hand weapons. Additionally, a model gains a bonus of +1 to its Attack characteristic when using Grasper & Keeper, and any To Wound Rolls of a natural 6 that are not prevented will deal 2 Wounds rather than 1.

A two-handed weapon is the kind that requires two hands to wield; as a result, a model wielding a two-handed weapon cannot use any other wargear that would also require the use of a hand (such as a shield) in the same Combat in which they use a two-handed weapon. If the only Melee Weapon a model carries is a two-handed weapon, then they must use it in a Combat - they cannot choose not to.

When a model fights with a two-handed weapon in a Combat, they suffer a -1 penalty to their Duel Roll. However, if the model rolls a natural 6 for their Duel Roll, they do not suffer this penalty. When a model with a two-handed weapon makes a Strike against an enemy model, they apply a +1 modifier to their To Wound Roll - so a 3 would become a 4, a 4 would become a 5, and so on. In the case of when two rolls are required (such as needing a 6+/4+), this will affect both rolls.
