History: After the third war the nation of Stromgarde fell to ruin. The Alliance was unable to aid the failing nation due to war and other distractions in distant lands. Long time friend of the nation of Stromgarde, Thorlin Thunderhammer realized the state that the nation of Stromgarde was in and took it upon himself to use his immense wealth to create an army to retake the Arathi Highlands and Stromgarde. While The alliance and the Horde fought on distant battlefields and in Outland and Northrend, Thorlin and his school of engineers purchased old unwanted Alliance vehicles and retrofit them to make the vehicles more powerful and efficient than their Alliance counterparts.
Tabard
The Thunderhammer tabard has a black center with yellow trimming and its crest is a Cog and Screw Driver with a tank behind it.
The retrofits include:
Tank
1. Tracks rather than wheels on a tank (Treads)
2. A revolving Turret rather than an immovable cannon.
3. Radio systems in all vehicles.
4. Shielding technology from ulduar (Only on the heaviest tanks which are few.)
5. Machine gunner ports.
6. Some of the tanks have been retrofitted purposely for anti air only.
Planes
1. More aerodynamic design.(looks more like a WW2 fighter)
2. Improved engine for higher speeds.
3. Improved rockets.(larger explosions and faster travel speed)
4. Machine guns are fired from the wings rather than a gunner in the cockpit.
Bombers
1. Armor plating.
2. Multiple gunner ports.
3. Larger Payloads.
Artillery
1. Improved aerodynamics of the shell to allow farther flight distances.
2. Improved boring in the barrel to increase accuracy.
3. More mobile design to allow faster deployment of the artillery.
The Thunderhammer Army is currently fighting in the campaign to retake the Arathi Highlands and Stromgarde.
Current Projects of the School of Engineering
