So above is my list, I played against Orcs and Goblins and it really doesnt matter what was in his list, the dice hated him. 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.

you unfortunately are not participating, therefore you are kind of like the French. And the the French don't matter. :)

I actually plan to participate... I am going to run through the room midway through the second game flipping over tables and punching people, all the while screaming that ....
