Uncharted Seas: Volcanus Class Battleship (custom rules)

Slick here again. Today I would like to share a design I recently came up with the for the Iron Dwarves faction. This is what I'm calling the Volcanus Class battleship. It gives up some broadside power but packs a mortar wiht the flame weapon mar! Let me know what you think!

The Dwarf Ferrous Class Battleship is a new variant on a proven battle platform. It retains the lower profile and angled armor of it the Forge Class while incorporating two massive mortars in the center of its hull. To make room for this heavier ordnance, Dwarven engineers had to remove some of its broadside weaponry. The carnage caused by a hit from the mortars, however, more than makes up for this. The crews of these mighty vessels love to watch the impact of mortars on enemy ships as they are set ablaze. Enemy commanders should still be wary of getting in too close as this machine can still deal out 11 Attack Dice (AD) at Range Band 1!
