[TOW] 999 Points competitive?

Chaos Dwarf Discussion Army List and Gaming Discussion
1

Hey tophats! Imma try create a competitive 999p list but I struggle… How do ye guys pull it off when most a roster still out of reach? Black Orcs seem like an auto include. But maybe it should be mostly just shield / great weapon blorcs.

Fireglaives worth it? Bull Centaurs? It’s easy after 1k since ye get the Iron Demon and a wyvern with sauce.

Btw, Blorc heroes:
They get magic items from Greenskin inventory?

This list looks like it will tear some serious ass at this points level, tbh. I’ve got no notes.

War machines are nice and all, but they don’t win games and they’re expensive, so kudos for not including any.

Let us know how you fare in battle.

If anything I’d be a little bit wary of the survivability of your Daemonsmith :thinking:

Yeah not many choices at 999pts, you should be fine.

No, if selected as part of a Chaos Dwarfs army, they use Chaos Dwarf magic items. But they keep their mount options from the Orcs & Goblins list.

Aye, the demonsmith is a question mark.

Mantle of Stone 30p for +1T?

Armor of Meteoric Iron 20p 5+
& Talisman on Protection 30p 5++

This is the best I can think of. Any ideas for equipping him? And he definitely is a bit too easy to kill at the moment. It’s just the utility of Terror flying beast that I would love to have…

I mean. Any of those, but you’re a little bit tight on points. Armor of silvered steel is also in the running, but imo it’s too expensive when considering meteoric iron armor costs half and is equal to or better under fairly common circumstances.

Basically the Mantle of Stone giving +1T to the Demonsmith Sorcerer is a must. It protects him quite well, mostly better than any armour. Biting Blade and Vambraces for the Orc Boss gets his unit Magic Resistance -1 as well as giving his attacks +1S till they break. Also decided to ditch one Cutthroat unit and give the Infernal Guard blunderbusses.

Skaven list was mostly chieftains and a 120 clanrats with weapon teams. Very high model count. However, Bull Centaurs and Lammasu allow this build an okey mobility, whilst the blunderbusses and cutthroats are surprisingly decent (still bad) ranged combatants.

One draw, and one massacre for the Chaos Dwarfs. Astradak Umgaka and Grimnob Ratgrinda continue onwards…

Here my MVP cutthroats after the battle. They scored almost 200points in value, and sucked up a ruby ring of ruin. 30points. Amazing.
