Prophecy Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think the point to dwarfs is to avoid big character builds and focus on the army. I will admit the dwarf general on shieldbearers is awesome at staying alive and blocking LOS to the BSB. I will also admit I would like another Runesmith but meh. I wanted to focus on fielding units and trying different things. I did take the bolt thrower as I hate eagles and manticores. I feel like if I kill just one of them or even a pegasus it's worth it. Can this army be competitive? Dwarves 2,500 Pts Runesmith: (General) Shield, Rune of Stone, Rune of Furnace, and a Rune of Spellbreaking: 98 pts Thane: (BSB) Shield and Master Rune of Grungi and Rune of Stoicism: 188 pts Quarrellers: 20 W/ Great Weapons , Musician and Stardard: 300 pts Quarrellers: 20 W/ Great Weapons , Musician and Stardard: 300 pts Thunderers: 10 w/ shields and a musician: 140 pts Hammerers: 24 W/ Standard, Musician, and Master Rune of Valaya: 421 pts (General Here) Gyrocopter: 80 pts Gyrocopter: 80 pts Bolt Thrower: Flakkson’s Rune of Seeking and Rune of Burning: 75 pts Cannon: Rune of Burning: 125 pts Grudgethrower: Rune of Accuracy and Rune of Penetrating: 145 pts Irondrakes: 19 w/FC, Champ has Cinderblast bombs, and Rune of Slownessx2: 380 pts (BSB Here) Flame Cannon w/ Rune of Forging: 165 pts Total: 2497 pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I like it in theory but would I want to play against it? Hell no. Gunlines are not fun for me. Sorry, but I want a mutually fun game, this could easily blow an army off the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Oh I was just trying to avoid a lot of the same core builds I keep seeing. I also didn't want a lord or two units of hammerers. I was always told BS3 shooting is unreliable so took a bunch to actually pose a threat.

MexicanNinja Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would face this list. You have the gunline, but it just takes 1 IF purple sun down that flank... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexicanNinja Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Let us know how it does! Yes, I am curious as to how this list works as well. While there is a lot of shooting, the majority of it is still only BS3. I see it almost suffering the same fate as my Dark Riders. You will hit half the time and then the wounds just don't add up on the big ranked up units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 That's why you follow it up with GW's....seeing as how almost everyone has one and some heavy armor it doesn't bother me if I miss. I'm kinda counting on the army missing half the time. The whole point was to widdle people down and then settle in for some good ole grinding. Elves and Dwarfs are basically as different as it gets. Going to be honest with you. I own 75% of the army but the last 25 will take some time getting done. I would prefer someone else trying it out because you guys play way more often then I do, probably own more models for dwarfs, and most certainly count as better generals.
