Vharn:
Hey.
This is going to be my first army ever. I’ve been collecting random warhammer armies for a while but never finished one.
This list is meant as a beginners list which can be expanded later. The only game experience I got sofar was a battle for skull pass game.
The list:
Chaos Dwarf Hero 94
Great weapon, Armour of Gazrakh
Chaos Dwarf Sorceror 100
level 2
19x Chaos Dwarf Warriors 201
Full command
19x Chaos Dwarf Warriors 201
Full command
12x Hobgoblins 60
Bows
2x Bolt Thrower 90
Points I’d like to discuss:
-I think 2 heroes at this point level might be a bit much, but I like the idea of having 2 characters in my army
-I have no blunderbusses in my army. I hear they are pretty good, but I think they might be worth it more in larger games
-Is this viable list? It doesnt have to be very powerfull, but I would like to be able to win battles
-Any further advice a noob can use?
Edit:
I think I might want to change the hobgoblin unit to either a large unit of 30 naked hob goblins, or 2 naked units of 15 if that is a better option
Any thoughts?
Joshmohr:
It seems ok… i would replace armor of G with armor of the Furnace, for the ward save.
Ubertechie:
Its pretty solid - however it lacks the things that make our list interesting and effective namely:
Bull Centaurs
Earth Shakers
Disposable 10 / 20 hobgoblin units.
The lost you have has little fire-power and next to no movement or ability to control the opponents movement - so what will happen if you are not careful is a clever opponent will isolate each dwarf combat unit flank, rear combine charge them destroy them and move on. The best this list could hope for in an average game is a draw.
Please don’t take that this as negative though as I assume the list is based around the models you have and this is a a good solid start (my 2k list has 2 units of 25 warriors and 4 bolt throwers) you just need to add some of the more dynamic elements and you will be away.
If you have access to other figures post them up here and i am sure people will give you further advice
Vharn:
Thanks for the advice so far guys.
About the models I have available: Good news! I’m in the middle of building/converting everything still. So far I’ve completed 10 warriors and a hero. Rest still has to be made/bought. Planning to use the army list as a guide to building my army
Models I have waiting to be build:
- Goblins from skull pass for hobbos (60 total I think)
- BFSP cannon (earthshaker perhaps)
- Rest of BFSP dwarfs
- couple o dwarf warrior boxes
- 2x bolt thrower
Advice for changing list into something more efficient will be appreciated. Still have a lot to learn about playing the game.
Alan the evil:
If you can find an eathsaker put it in: it is more performing than hobbos with bows.
When you can find 110 pt?
60 from hobbo with bows
20 takin off champion form warrior units
30 from a right count of BT pt: 2 BT are 60 pt, not 90
hope to be helpfull
