Sky Dwarves list building

[overwatch0clock]

Greetings! 
In preparation for the AOS tournament coming up i'm reaching out to inquire about a list i can make with the following units. The cap is 1500 pts but with the units i have now i'm pretty sure it isn't legal. The cons of being a painter and not a player yet. 
The list as follows:
-Brokk Grungson 
-Thundriks Profiteers x ( all five models as a unit)
-Aether-Khemist
-Arknaut Admiral
-Aetheric-Navigator
-Endrinmaster (harness)
-Endrinriggers x 1 unit
-Grundstok Thunderers x 1 unit (special weapons squad)
-Grundstok Gunhauler x 1

Thank you in advance!

If the AoS army builder app is accurate (it's free right now btw), you have 1200 pts on the nose. What you lack is battleline.

Riggers, gunhauler, and thunderers can each be battleline under certain conditions. Riggers need the floaty rigger hero, and the other two barak nar, and barak urbaz as your subfaction, respectively.

So, four options come to me (as a non dwarf player).
Add 2 arkanaut company (always battleline)
Add endrinmaster with dirigible and 1 endrin rigger units
Add 1 gun haulers and choose barak urbaz
Add 1 thunderer units and choose barak nar
Or option 5!
Add endrinmaster as general, and choose the needed skyport to make a boat or thunderers also battleline.
Some of these options will likely put you over on points, but you have more than enough heroes, so could drop some of them if needed.



Edit: the app is also telling me 1500 only needs 2 battleline, not 3, which I guess comes in to play at 2k. So things got a bit easier!

Edit again. If by chance you are looking to add some endrinriggers at any point, I have a new on sprue set I picked up in a trade and would sell for cheap.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the quick response. I was going to try Barak-Nar since that seems to be the most friendly. So ill need some thunderers. In saying that im a sucker for sky dwarves, did you happen to know what you wanted for the riggers? Is it just them on the sprue or is it both options for the wardens aswell? 

[Hi I'm Derek]

If you play Barak-Thryng and you don't want to buy kits to fill out your combat units I have 20 ironbreakers I'm not using in my list that would add another 230 points of soldiers if you end up needing filler (although your big bottleneck being battleline atm that may not work since you'd need two arkanaut squads)

The endrinriggers are the full sprue, with bases. So options to build the wardens as well.

I was thinking $30, if that sounds fair? I just looked up the retail price + tax
and divided by 2.

That's fair, I'd take those boys off your hands and give them a good home.

I might add although it doesn't help with battle line it would bump up points but I do have a Gotrek... I just didn't want to add him because I'm pretty sure he isn't considered friendly?

[Hi I'm Derek]

Gotrek's a real pub-stomper. If it's all you got I say better to bring him than not since you're hardly a pro who's going to be bullying people with your mastery of the game. And he's far from an instant win card being slow as heck, he's mostly on par with other god pieces and Order's answer to big massive high profile hero behemoths. Just at 1500 he'll be a something that very likely nobody can kill, I would advise any newer opponent of that up front so they know not to feed their whole army into him (which is where he gets his rep, he's actually very hard to use if your opponent knows not to funnel troops into the little guy).

There's a lot of other Order stuff out there too if you're considering allies once you've satisfied battleline.

Yaaa, he was an option because I had him painted and ready. There's still time to try and throw together something more fluffy and nice.

I say bring him. Just don't use any Command Abilities on him.
