Hello all,
Dwarfs have a special place in my heart. Having been my first army, I played with them a lot. But eventually, I left the mountain hold and tried other armies that I've been playing more often for the last 3-4 years. But.... it's time. It's time to return to my roots and assemble a throng. I have a 2000 pts game scheduled for this upcoming weekend, and it's against Warriors of Chaos. What do I know? A good player who's bringing a "tough" list, but no deamon prince. I've seen him play once and he brought 2 blocks of warriors, some dragon ogres, a chimera, a hellcannon and some javelin horses. I'm expecting a tougher list than that one, I suppose, but we'll see. I've been, in turn, asked to bring a "tougher" list too. But I don't want to go all cheese. So.... I've been toying with two lists. Find them below - your feedback is appreciated.
List 1
Double Organ Gun
General: Runesmith, shield, rune of stone, rune of spellbreaking
Thane BSB, 2x rune of iron, rune of parrying, rune of stone
2x Engineers - one with rune of stone, one with rune of stone + rune of speed (or some other 5 pt rune) + brace of pistols
23x Longbeards + shields, FC
10x Thunderers w/ shields, musician+std
10x Thunderers w/ shields, musician+std
2x gyrocopters
20x Ironbreakers, FC
10x Irondrakes, musician, standard
1x Organ Gun - rune of accuracy
1x organ Gun - rune of accuracy, rune of burning
Pro of list:
Double OG + engineers means pew pew.
Can have Thudnerers man the flanks, and a line of STR5 shooting (OGs+drakes) down the middle with supporting infantry blocks.
Cons of list:
No Stoicism banners on the infantry blocks. I could remove an Engineer and add them maybe?
No cannon for big dudes.
List 2
All rounder list
General: Thane, Master Rune of Gromril + 3x Rune of Warding + GW
Thane BSB - same load out as above
Runesmith - same load out as above
Engineer - same load out as above.
24x Longbeards,w/shields, FC + Stoicism banner
10x Thunderers w/shields + musican, banner
1x Cannon, rune of burning, rune of forging
2x Gyrocopters
20x Ironbreakers w/fc + stoicism banner, sanctuary banner
10x Irondrakes, musician, banner
1x Organ Gun, Rune of accuracy
Pro of list:
A stronger general
cannon
stubborn blocks
Con of list:
No double OGs
Enough firepower?
