So my thougths on what I had and how it went down are this: Shieldbearers: Gold. I loved these guys before, but that +2 wounds just takes it home. Anvil of Doom: As suspected it is not a great magic phase you get from this.My opponent started with a level 4 and level 2, my first magic phase gave me nothing. After my cannon sniped his Level 4 I started to get results in the phase. It was nice to be able to add an armor point to units, though not game changing, the rest of my dice went to blasting support units which was really handy. I found tossing lots of dice at one spell, wasted off the opponents dice, then you can leisurely cast the other spell. Usually it was big dice on the blast, cause it was harsh enough that it always prompted a dispel attempt. The verdict is still out on if it is worth the points, but it did a decent job this game. Warriors: I did not get a chance to use any new rules with them, I did forget their +1 Strength on their one charge (which they got netted for -1 Strength) Longbeards: Solid choice as always. I did forget to use my rune of slowness when charged by a chariot however... but then I forgot to automatically chase him when he fled... so I guess that evens out. Thunderers/Quarrellers: Pretty much the same as ever. With the heavy armor and shieldwall rule however I am thinking I should add shields. Hammerers: And I thought they were nasty before! I kinda miss the immune to fear/terror... but oh well. Gyrocopters: I tried out the brimstone gun. While decent, I only managed 3-4 shots between the two each turn... this translates into 1-2 wounds... Kinda nice, but the spent the whole time slowly whittling down a boar boy unit and nothing else. I think I'd have been better off with the Steam gun. I also kinda spaced the bombs until later and didn't get to try them out. Organ gun: This is pretty nice. taking negatives to hit kinda sucks, but it still deals out decent punishment. I think the rune of Accuracy (or a master Engineer) is pretty much a must have for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkieft Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ooh, nice! Whadja roll for the Ancestral Grudge and did it come into play. Or did you forget that too... I totally forgot to roll... but playing against Orcs and Goblins it just doesn't matter... I already hated everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaverBeliever Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm excited to see the kinds of lists brought to black sheep. Unfortunately, the book came out past our list due date, so we'll have to wait until next year to see the new Dwarfs. But, last hoorah for the old book, so I suppose that's something to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
