Grudge Thrower
Grudge Throwers, also known as Stone Throwers are Dwarf stone throwing catapults, originally used to control the paths to the Karaks, Dwarven strongholds. [3a]
The name "Grudge Thrower" derives from the War of the Beard, where - furious at the Elven "betrayal - grudges" were carved upon the rocks by Dwarfs, before launching them towards their enemies. [3a][4]
This worked very well, and so the practice was kept in later wars against the Greenskins, Chaos, Undead and other enemies of the Dwarfs. In "younger" times grudge throwers - like all Dwarven war machines - were constructed without using wood, due to the Dwarfs' belief that wood was not a trustworthy material for any handicraft (especially not for crafting weaponry).
