It is very boots-on-the-ground and combat oriented. After reading battle reports and some Dwarf forum strategizing, I am liking this idea. We'll have to wait and see until after the GLWL!
The list is quite good, I like most of it. However, I disagree with the runelord. I believe to make him worth the option he needs the Anvil. In addition to this, you are better off taking the MRoBalance rather than MRoSpite. He is not a combat character so you can keep him out of the action and the steal one power dice is very nice.
ReplyDeleteI also think you could do with a second runesmith. At 3000pts there is going to be a lot of magic thrown at you, +2 dispel dice and the natural +2 to dispel will only go so far. I would consider getting a runesmith in there. This is what I would suggest for the runelord/smith.
Runelord - Anvil, MRoBalance, RoStone
Runesmith - RoSpellbreaking x2, RoStone
In general rangers are not that effective. They can be put out of threat range quite quickly. I would suggest you consider spending those points on thunderers and quarrellers as separate units.
The rest I think is generally pretty good.
Thanks for the input!
