Dwarves for 10th

[trantos01]

So with the (once again) revamped points I figured I'd take a quick poke at figuring out a list and what I'm missing to make it work.  Also since the codex doesn't appear to be appearing anytime soon I'll be working with the index rules for a while (unless the next dataslate ****s things up again).

Here's the initial build:

1 Grimnyr w/ Appraising glare + 10 Warriors with bolters, auto rifle, missile launcher, thayn with plasma pistol

1 Iron-master + 10 Warriors with bolters, auto rifle, missile launcher, thayn with plasma pistol

5 Hearthguard w/ teleport crest and Kahl w/ Rampart Crest + Long List to add JP to new unit if unit's target killed (deep strike)

5 Hearthguard w/ teleport crest and Kahl w/ Rampart Crest (deep strike)

3 Pioneers w/ [IGNORES COVER], +1 to hit versus stealth and HYLas rotary cannon

6 Pioneers w/ [IGNORES COVER], +1 to hit versus stealth, +5 to gain CP when strat used on unit, x2 ion beamers

1x Land Fortress w/Rail cannon, bolt cannons and 3 Graviton blast cannon Thunderkyn embarked

1x Land Fortress w/Rail cannon, bolt cannons and 3 Graviton blast cannon Thunderkyn embarked

1x Land Fortress w/Rail cannon, bolt cannons and 3 Graviton blast cannon Thunderkyn embarked

The Iron-master doesn't have lone operative etc so if he wants to survive to repair the fortresses, he needs meatshields (and I can sacrifice the Cogs since they give nothing now).

Grimnyr unit can toss out pseudo-JP for enemies standing near an objective.

I tossed the Kahls with Rampart onto the Hearthguard to give them lethal hits and a 5+ invul.  Thinking against volkite weapons since lethal hits won't trigger devastating wounds (at least I think GW patched that?).

The pioneers can be 3 squads of 3 or a big and little squad running around to do whatever.

The Land Fortresses and Thunderkyn would be the hammer of this list.  Transport gets them close enough, anti-vehicle 2+ means the grav weapons can rip vehicles apart even at s5 (d6 shots with -2AP and 2 damage) 

Also the  Fortress's fire support ability (pick a target hit by the Fortress, until end of phase a unit disembarked from Fortress rerolls wounds against said unit) appears to trigger for each Fortress so I can pick 3 units I really need to die.

Yes I wouldn't have the Kahls tossing out a JP first turn but with the new detachment rules, it's less important.

You're right, lethal hits doesn't proc devastating...

Looks like a solid list!

Thanks, plasma it is.  Either way the grenade launchers should be more than enough anti-infantry firepower considering you have 5 1d6 bolter equivalents with blast in the unit so against even a 5 man unit that would be 5d6+5 shots.  And against a 20 model unit......I think I'd need more dice then I normally carry around.

Huh, looks like the points are in my favor of a 'theme' list this Christmas tournament.

1 Grimnyr+Appraising Glare (make objective markers give JT to units nearby)

1 Kahl+Long List (shift JT from a unit your unit kills to a new one)

10 Warriors

5 Hearthguard

three groups of 3 pioneers

1 Land Fortress

3 Thunderkyn

You got Santa Kahl (with the naughty and nice list), his tricked out sleigh and nine tiny reindeer pioneers.
