Your list is definitely better than mine. Only thing it's missing is a gryo for some movement plus the excellent steam gun template. But the only thing you could drop for that is the Thunderers and I'm not sure it's much of an improvement.

It's a tricky one as I like the old model and hated the rules now I like the way they work and hate the new models!

Greg - if you want to use one, I have a crap finecast one I could bring that you could use (and I’ll just grab it back at a later date). It’s not the early model with the two blade rotor and pilot holding a bomb but the three blade rotor one released before the latest flying bathtub model 😉 (which I actually rather like). It’s not based though so you’d have to bring a 40mm base to use with it.

Cheers Mark, much appreciated. I think I'm quite happy with this list, and I've never used one before :'). However, please could I borrow one for a club game sometime to see how I get on?

I like the list - 2 strong blocks, 1 cannon for monsters, 1 organ gun for infantry/cavalry and some shooting. You could drop a few bodies ont he 2 big blocks and squeeze in a gyro. You don't need 30 in 1800 points. I've done 20 longbeards at 2200 and they hold relatively well.

I am more of a sedge MSU(ish)-approach man. I think all your eggs are in the Hammerers basket, although you do have some decent magic protection. I would assume all shooting and 6 dice death spells would be coming their way. If you manage to get over the board in reasonable shape however I think those 2 big blocks will clean up rather effectively!

Thanks for the comments all.
Option B is to change the hammerers for 30 iron breakers and give the long beards GW but I doubt I'll have my GW troops finished by then - need to evaluate when I get home tonight!

Much as I love Ironbreakers, I think Hammerers are a bigger step up over GW Longbeards than Ironbreakers are over HW/shield Longbeards. The 2 attacks and Stubborn make a massive difference.

I hated the old gyrocopter model with a passion and not for its visuals. I used to have 2 of them but knocked them over or they fell over so many times that I rage sold them. My dwarfs have been gyroless ever since. No regrets. Basically every other dwarf model ever made is durable and stable. The old gyrocopter is chaos cursed.

So I quite like 1800 pts lists following on from Riotville this year! If there is one next year, I'm considering using something like the below.
I thought it would make a change from the dwarf lists I usually play with an obligatory 2 organ guns and a cannon and would be a little more annoying for my opponent than a castle or line formation.
+ Heroes +
Runesmith [113pts]: Shield . Ancestral Heirlooms and Runes: Rune of Spellbreaking (1st rune), Rune of Spellbreaking (2nd rune), Rune of Stone
Thane [171pts]: Battle Standard Bearer, Great Weapon, Oath Stone . Ancestral Heirlooms and Runes: Master Rune of Gromril, Rune of Iron (1st rune)
+ Core +
Longbeards [455pts] . Champion . 30x Longbeard: 30x Shields . Musician . Standard Bearer: Strollaz' Rune
+ Special +
Hammerers [501pts]: 29x Hammerer . Champion . Musician . Standard Bearer: Master Rune of Valaya
Miners [260pts]: Musician, Standard Bearer . 20x Miner: 20x Blasting Charges
+ Rare +
Rangers [150pts]: Musician, 10x Ranger
Rangers [150pts]: Musician, 10x Ranger
++ Total: [1,800pts]
What do you think guys?

I think it will work but your hammerers could also do with strollaz as they’ll be left behind. You could also save points by dropping 5 Rangers from each unit and adding in a gyrocoptor. I still can’t recommend them enough.

I still can’t recommend them enough. I do have my eye on an old gyrocopter so will probably try at some point now I like the rules! I didn't think I could take Strollaz on both banners? Or would I have to tack on a 2nd rune to the Hammerer banner?
