Awbbie:

Hello every one! This is my army list that is diffrent from other’s i’ve made as it has a strategy behind it. I’m expecting that to help me during games. Now since i’m generally only playing non-competitavly with friends they have let me use this delicious army book: Warhammer: Chaos Dwarfs. Thank you Thommy H and all other contributers. Without further ado here is the list:

Sorcerer Lord - Lvl 4, Lore of Hashut, palanquin, Channling staff, army general- 275

Deamon Smith - Lvl 2, Hell pistol - 172

Despot - BSB, Lichebone pennant - 110

Warriors - Command, shields, great weapons, pistol - 152

Warriors - Command, shields, great weapons, pistol - 152

Arcane Artillery - 3 Chaos Dwarf crew, Diabolic sentience - 105

Arcane Artillery - 3 Chaos Dwarf crew, Diabolic sentience - 105

Arcane Artillery - 3 Chaos Dwarf crew, Diabolic sentience - 105

Doom Cannon - Infernal shells - 160

Doom Cannon - Infernal shells - 160

Total = 1496

As for the afore mentioned strategy: I shoot them and hopefully kill off most of them before they reach me. Not too complicated but hey it’s me. The Deamonsmith will stay close to the Doom Cannons so they wont run off, the despot will stay close to the warriors so they wont run off.

Thommy H:

Ouch - that’s a nasty gunline! So you slow them down with the Doomcannon and hit them with the massed Arcane Artillery? Have you considered reversing the Upgrades on them so you get more Infernal Shells and more reliable Doomcannon? It seems like using the bigger, stronger Doomcannon for slowing up the enemy advance isn’t the best use for them. Although, I suppose because the Doomcannon might Rampage off, you don’t want your whole strategy depending on them. Will the Daemonsmith babysit the Dommcannon?

hmm, that would seem to be a better option... I was also thinking of switching out the Sorcerer Lord for a unit of 10 Stormcallers and giving the Deamonsmith the Ziggurat Foundation stone. The hill would then become the location of the artillery battery, the warriors would stand on either side as flanking deterants, and the Stormcallers would provide frontal defense. On the one hand I have a high leadership general who is also proficient at magic, and on the other I have increased protection.
