Dwarfs vs Daemons - a tale of Beards and Tentacles

[Marc]

Hey flash, about our game on Friday I promised my list in full, seeing as I've seen most of yours
well, behold my Bearded Throng-

-- Lords -- 251 --
Dwarf Lord - 251
Great Weapon, shield-bearers, Master Rune of Spite, Rune of Stone, Rune of Resistance

-- Heroes -- 429 --
Battle-Standard Thane - 190
Thane, BSB, Master Rune of Stormni Redbeard

Tin-Beard - 94
Thane, Great Weapon, Master Gromril Rune

Runesmith - 145
Runesmith, Master rune of balance, rune of spell-breaking

-- Core -- 790 --

20 Warriors, Greatweapons, full command -- 225
20 Warriors, Greatweapons, full command -- 225
20 Longbeards, Greatweapons, shields, full command, Rune of Battle, Rune of Ancestry -- 340

-- Special -- 405

20 Ironbreakers, full command, Rune of Battle -- 315
Cannon -- 90

-- Rare -- 120 --
Organ Gun -- 120




I really struggled bringing the list down to 2,000 though, it was originally a 2,500 and boy have i lost a lot of troops and guns. As I told you I will bring in Daemons for you to use (with sum proxying) and a plastic model for you to hold onto to try your painting

And I'm so generous I'll even bring in some terrain for us to use -- hills and Chaos Gateways (thats all i got)

See you then.

Why is there no anvil in this list? ANVIL!

[chris]

wheres the gun line?

[W.E.G]

i quite like it has very little shooting so tis all about the combat.

altho how come you went with Ironbreakers over hammers? since you'd get the immune to fear n terror and stubborn? plus would mean everything in army pretty much had a great weapon

[Marc]

1. There is no anvil because I wanted a Dwarf Lord in this list, as much as I'd love an anvil... also I do not yet own an anvil. And did I mention how much I like Dwarf Lords

2. This list is a toned down 2,500 list, my 2500 list had more warmachines, quite a few more, that is all the guns I wish in a 2000 list any more would turn me into an unmovable wood elf list... I'll leave it at that

3. Because I have Ironbreakers,


Right then, Flash, the model you want brought in, Black Undercoat or White Undercoat?
Also I'll be at the uni by around 4-ish, a little early I know but well, heck I don't need a reason

[chris]

3 is also due to them having a better armour save and a parry save

[Ben]

Can you not get a runelord, an anvil and a dwarf lord?

[GingerFlash]

Sounds good Marc, black undercoat will do, I'll buy paints on friday maybe. Depends on the model I suppose.

[chris]

@ ben not at 2000 the base cost of an anvil is over 300 points a dwarf lord base is 145 i believe

[GingerFlash]

Posting this for others to see and for me to grab on the day as I have found no paper what so ever here :/

-- Lords -- 480 --
Keeper of Secrets - 480
Allure of Slaanesh, Torment Blade

-- Heroes -- 355 --
Herald of Tzeentch - 140
Master of Sorcery (Shadow)

Herald of Slaanesh - 215
Many Armed Monstrosity, BSB, Banner of Unholy Victory

-- Core -- 568 --
23 Daemonettes, Full Command, Siren Standard - 331
17 Pink Horrors of Tzeentch, Musician, Standard Bearer, Icon of Sorcery - 237

-- Special -- 385 --
5 Flesh Hounds of Khorne - 175
3 Nurglings - 105
3 Nurglings - 105

-- Rare -- 210 --
6 Flamers of Tzeentch - 210

I allready have some idea's to fix the army up but we shall see how this fares tomorrow.

[W.E.G]

looks good but i think in 8th the hounds dont do any where near as well with only 5 models. flamers are gold specially with march and shoot.

love nurglings (i need to get more, figured out last nite my GUO loves 8th ed with the no6 nurgle spell (T test or suffer wound then for every 3 wounds caused make a nurgling base hmmmmms 50 man slave blocks)

but havent tried my keeper of secrets or daemonettes before on paper they look good this edition but thats all i know bout em

By my maths you can get all three bare with 40points to spare. Spend those on the dwarf lord, cos the anvil is fine naked, and you've used 500 points of lord choice. I wouldn't dream of fielding a dwarf army without the anvil. It's practically a requirement to make them as manoeuvrable as others.
