I felt I should update my list as I have started tackling my Chaos Dwarf project in preperation for the new Dwarf book. Someone needs to provide a foil to all the new started armies (including my own), plus I am sick and tired of my WoC color scheme.
So I re-drafted my list and shrunk it down with hopes of using it in a campaign. Thoughts or opinions?
(Oh and a destroyer is right out. The local meta really hates 'em and I don’t feel like converting a big monster anyways.) Thoughts?
I’d be nervous fielding 40% of your army as characters. Unless they had the killing power of a Greater Demon or something, that seems like too high a percentage to me.
So you’ll take some heat, I’m sure, because Ironsworn are not that cost effective. However! I believe that you can build a great points denial list with them. That said, I like your list. If I were you, I’d consider finding room for a second castellan though, so that both of your dwarf blocks are stubborn.
Infernal Ironsworn - that’s pretty rare. But I think it’s awesome that you bring them to the battle, and in such great numbers. Looking forward to hearing how they work out! Give them the “razor banner” for the ultimate chop chop.
FNG: I see your point, BUT for that to fit into the hero slot I’d need to drop a Khan and if WoC taught me anything… Its that I can make my wardsaves… And that Chaff is useful.
Bloodbeard: I usually run them with Razor banner (even modelled it to have to cut off beards hanging from it) but since this will mostly be against Dwarves I felt the need to be able to get over to them instead of only having a shootout.
I’ve found the average returns provided in the magic phase to be the worst investment we can make. I’d definitely get rid of the Sorcerer and even consider dropping both your Dwarf blocks to 24 models each. That should free up some points to get something heavy-hitting in your list.
Retooled the list after your comments about the lack of a “hammer”:

Dropped a Khan, the Sorcerer and some Ironsworn in favor of 6 Bullcentaurs with GWs. The lack of a Scroll leaves me a bit shakey though.
