Using the regular army book rules, or a homebrew set that allows a full Slayer force?

I've got the 5th ed book somewhere, I'll look it out. But if I remember it was slayers as core. All core moved to special choices?

What do you think about this one??? It’s a 2k List. ++ End Times (Dwarfs - Army Book (2014-2) -V8.8.0.) [2,000pts] +++ Uncategorised +- Army Size: Army (0-2999 points) + Lords +Ungrim Ironfist [350pts]: AB - Axe of Dargo, AB - Dragon Cloak of Fyrskar, AB - The Slayer Crown + Heroes +Dragon Slayer [105pts].

You could take an organ gun in your list. If I'm taking a slayer themed list and playing 'official' 8th dwarf rules, I bring the Goblin Hewer and use organ gun rules for it. With regards to your list - the slayer unit cannot take the MRo Grungni as only the BSB can take that rune. You've also given the same unit the rune that makes them stubborn (Stoicism). As they are already unbreakable, they don't need that one. I'm guessing you meant to give them the vanguard rune (Strollaz) as well (so both slayer units would vanguard)? gregr - The slayer list was 6th ed. in the storm of chaos book.

Knoffles - correct sir!I found it in the back of my 6th ed book.
Its not designed to be balanced at all purely fluff. It lists the following:
Characters
Slayer characters.
One Daemon Slayer may be designated the Slayer King. They have the same army list options as a Dwarf Lord and costs 220pts. One Slayer character must be the army general, but this has no other effect other than for victory points purposes
Core
Slayers
Special
Warriors 0-1 Hammerers (only if a Slayer King is present)
Rare
Quarrellers / Crossbowmen Thunderers
Then I suppose for more fluff and variety you could include Long Drong's pirates as Special and the Goblin Hewer as a Rare choice?

Okay, I think I’ve got it all right. Hard to tell without my book and that BattleScribe errors every single rune. Is it legal and is it decent? ++ End Times (Dwarfs - Army Book (2014-2) -V8.8.0.)

I noticed the same thing about BattleScribe. It is annoying.
The list is good with one exception. Like other BSB’s you can’t take magic items if you take a magic standard (so in this case you can either take the banner runes such as MRo Grungni or the armour/weapon/talisman runes, in this case the Ro Iron).

Dang it! Keep missing stuff. Okay! I fixed it and added a few more slayers with the extra points. Now it’s good and legal

You can always try the Slayer Army from Storm of Chaos. It was from back on 6th ed but translates well to 8th. When Dwarfs moved to their 6.5 ed book Gav Thorpe released an FAQ to use with 7th ed saying to use the Storm of Chaos list as written with the Runes from the 6.5 ed book.
We applied this ruling to the 8th ed book and the army played well. I used it in a few games and it was a blast. The slayer list can hold its own.
