So mottdon has spoken, it shall be Dwarfs!
I will be picking my normal sub optimal (hopefully) more interesting type of list. I have been contemplating taking my Anvil of Doom.. I haven't yet used it in 8th, but then I also haven't used Ungrim Ironfist either so I am leaning towards going the Slayer route.
I am also thinking about playing around with the Rune of Slowness on my Thunderers, putting the BSB in there and trying to bait a failed charge which I can Stand & Shoot at, then shoot again in my go, then perhaps rinse and repeat. At least that's the plan
Those Daemons do charge a long way..
So far I have:
Ungrim
350 points
Runesmith (2x Runes of Spellbreaking)
105 points
Thane (BSB, 2x Runes of Slowness, Handgun, Shield)
143 points
20 Longbeards (Standard & Musician, Shields)
280 points
17 Thunderers (Full Command, Shields)
251 points
20 Hammerers (Full Command)
22 Slayers (Musician, Standard, Master Rune of Valaya)
Gyrocopter
80 points
Organ Gun
120 points
For Dwarfs I generally break my no dispel scroll rule and have done so here taking the double Spellbreaking option. Combined with Valaya banner it should go a long way to shutting down his magic phase hopefully. My primary concern is the lack of Rune of Forging on my Organ Gun, I never leave home without it usually. So some of the options are swapping out the Gyrocopter for a Dragon Slayer (+theme points -fun points), dropping or swapping out the Organ Gun for a Cannon or something else, or losing some of the spend on Runic items and buying some more actual models.
Or should I completely rethink and go Anvil?
Thoughts?
