And Dwarfs make Three!

[Jack Shrapnel]

Well since I was referencing my dwarfs in my other Ard Boyz threads... here's what you can expect if my stunties make an appearance!

Lord:

Runelord - Anvil of doom, rune of balance, rune of preservation, rune of stone, rune of spellbreaking, shield

Heroes:

Josef Bugman (general)
Thane BSB: master rune of Gromril, rune of preservation, rune of brotherhood
Runesmith: rune of spellbreaking x2
Runesmith: rune of spell breaking, spell eater rune

Core:

30 longbeard rangers with great weapons and throwing axes - full command and rune of grungi (5+ ward vs. shooting)
15 thunderers - musician
15 thunderers - musician

Special:

bolt thrower with engineer
bolt thrower with engineer
cannon - forging and master rune of immolation (boom baby!)
cannon - forging and burning
cannon - forging
grudge thrower with engineer - accuracy + pen
grudge thrower with engineer - accuracy + burning + pen
grudge thrower with engineer - accuracy

Rare:

Organ gun

Total: 2997 points

So this dirty, dirty list adds 6 dispel dice to the roll (taking one of your power dice in the process)

I get the equivalent of 5 dispel scrolls, one of which eats your spell on a 4+ making it unable to be cast for rest of the game

(this is basically me flipping the bird to 8th ed magic )

Bugman and the BSB join the longbeard rangers, which the anvil propels into your favorite prettiest unit that you love the most on turn one (yep an anvil can do that) and likely because of the meeting engagement being two of the scenarios this could be a rear charge.

oh and there's three cannons that reroll misfires, two bolt throwers, and three grudge throwers that also reroll misfire and scatter

ick.... I need a shower after that.....

but good news is, all you have to do is roll a 2 on the last scenario and you should pretty much auto-table me.... that or just be able to cross the board quickly... that'll do it too... ;D

Just remember to shoot with the rangers before using the anvil to give them a rear charge. I would hate to see 30 x S5 shots go to waste ;D

[Jack Shrapnel]

sadly the rangers wouldn't be in range for the shots.... 12" away, either a 3" walk and shoot (meaning out of range) or 6" march to guarentee the first turn charge....

the axes are there for when I get into this awesome position, only to roll a 1 for first turn and get myself multicharged by 3k worth of my opponents' army.... at least I'll take a few of them with me!!!!!

[Jack Shrapnel]

....geez....just realized something with the scenarios....

two out of three of the missions are meeting engagements.....

yeah that alone is enough to leave the dwarfs at home - 1 in 6 chance of each thing in the list being out of the fight as reserve means missing the first turn, moving on means missing the second turn of shooting for all the warmachines and both shooter blocks - and I'm pretty sure rolling a 1 on the ranger unit means they cannot deploy as per scouting... which puts them out of position and prevents them from stopping the forward rush...

yeah this could be super bad for dwarfs..... (and they were my front runners! darnit... back to square one!)

[usscott]

i like it

[Jack Shrapnel]

you like the list or like the fact that the scenarios will mess it up so I won't bring it?

[LizardTau]

if not for the scenarios that would have been an interesting list to take, love all the anti magic lol
