I’ll be entering a tournament in 3 weeks time and my first opponent will be 2250 worth of Dwarves.��I’ve never played Dwarves before but from what I gather they are hard as nails in close combat, have deadly long ranged weapons and have some serious resistance against magic.
My core units are on the small side because I cant afford to buy another 5 models per unit to bring the unit up to 24 each.��So im stuck with a unit of 19 w/ level 2 sorcerer and a unit of 20.��
I was orginally going to use a sorcerer lord but I decided not to, Instead I opted for a BC Lord fully equiped with Black Hammer and armour of Gazrakh.��I’ve included him in the Leadbelchers, with 5 S7 attacks and a Movement of 6 he should be able to get into close combat fairly quickly.
I’ve also opted to demote my Black Orcs to Big Un’s for the surpose of this game.��Freeing up 50 plus points allows me to bring the BC Lord to the table.��
Any tatics based on my list to defeat Dwarves will be welcome!
I guess units of 20 fodder troops. But, that list looks quite solid. Although, I am not sure your BC should go with leadbelchers because their shooting is then null and void. Maybe ironguts/bulls/maneaters, but I think no to leadbelchers. Otherwise, good list!

Where would be the best place to put my bc hero then?
If he acts as a lone character hes just going to be shot down.
These are non-battle points - composition, painting, sportsmanship.
As far as the list goes, I really don't recommend 4 leadbelchers. I ran a unit this size in my list for the New Zealand nationals in 2005 and they under-performed in almost every game. I replaced them with 4 ironguts and they have done much better.
I generally use them in concert with a small unit of Bull Centaurs, and the ST6 attacks are great at slicing through armour
For what it's worth, at tournaments in my area 4 bolt throwers would tend to hurt soft scores.

Soft scores?

Soft scores are non-battle points, such as those awarded for painting, sportsmanship and army composition. In this case I was mostly thinking of Army Composition and Sportsmanship.
You can put a BC BSB with infantry. There is nothing stopping it, and they cannot be singled out by shooters anymore. In fact, it is an increasingly common tactic. Why, I saw a Lizardman player field a mounted Scar-Veteran in a unit of Saurus (the fact that the single Cold One causes Fear stops the occasional charge).
