Geist:
Not sure where this should go so here seems as good as anywhere. I just did a deal with one of my fellow dawi here and got a boat load of chaos dwarf warrior models and Fire glaives.
So here is what I need to know, what should I make them into?
Hand weapon and shield?
Fire glavies?
Blunder busses?
Now for numbers.
I have already put together :
36 hand weapon and shield painted nicely that can be either warriors or iron sworn.
36 blunder busses.
What I have avaible :
70 warriors that can be either glaives, blunders or hand and shield.
Not sure what to create for game play and the future or if I should make my style blunders and sell them?
Suggestions with reasons please for game play advice.
sam585:
Do a block of 30 with greatweapons - you dont have these yet, and having more options is always cool might take some conversion work.
Do another block of 30 with fireglaives- same as above
save 10 for custom projects and make unit fillers with- always useful just to have extra guys around so that you can do cool conversions or dioramas with for display boards
Abecedar:
As always i need more information before I’ll stick my head out.
Are they 4th Ed or Forge World models? Just curious.
I’m not real good with game play but to give you some options maybe this suggestion
Do enough for two units of BB’s. Say another 15 or so models.
This would give you two front ranks, ten wide, of WYSIWYG and you could bolster the rear ranks with whomever to create a bigger unit(s) if needed.
Do another 15 as Hand Weapon and Shield for the same reasons.
Do at least 20 as Great Weapons to round your army out aesthetically.
and the remaining, ? 20 can be built as fireglaives, giving the option of two ten man units for flank protection.
Bloodbeard:
Options. you should go for more options.
I rarely field GWs, but when facing a friends all mounted empire army, my high elf friends ‘no infantry’ army and brettonians it’s gret to throw some GWs at them. 25 of them and a unit filler counting for 4 - so 29 in all. Then there’s room for a BSB as well.
Fireglaives a nice, especially as concept. I like to field them as small protective units for daemonsmiths and to fill out core limits if not wanting to use hobgoblins. 20 + a 4 unitfiller (perhaps just use the same) for either a large regiment or two small support regiments.
Then theirs still enough dudes left, to get some more blunderbuss dudes made. So you can field two regiments of roughly 25 blunders in super large mega battles.
Keep some FW dudes for crazy convertions, a new BSB and such.
