If any of you ever check out Bugmans Brewery, there is a fellow by the name of Dark Dwarves that is a bit of a Dwarf hoard genius. He has tons of information on creating a Dwarf hoard, so I assume if you look a that information, you can work backward and find the weaknesses behind it. Here is one such link. Here is a 2000 point army list of "THE hoard." If you just search his name, you will find a bunch of other great threads on this topic. Hope you find this information useful. |

I never thought that Dwarves could be a swarmy race and were more set up to have small groups of specialised units. |

yea its really controversial. becouse a lot of people say its not in the nature of the dwarf army to be swarmy AND becouse a lot of people said that this kinda list would only work against a low Tougness army and such. So when playing this list it is not a good alround list to field 170 dwarfs. It is good against things as skaven (in a cence) and gobo army's but that is were it ends. If the swarmy dwarf army has to play against a high touhgness army it will fail. Same goes for the fact it the opponent has a lot of magic. So my bet in defeating this list is ( with skaven): have a bell and magic his azz of. Also use jezzials to kill the few elite troops and use gutterunners and skitteleap to take out the warmachines.maybe hold a nice old Warp flame cannon to hold a flank and make him think twice to get that flank. But that is just my guess. Well what do you guy's think of this? |

dude, did you just call dwarves manouverable? so waht if he has a load of combat units. do we get in a huff when we come up against chaos? no, and they're better at fighting (albeit more expensive too). just treat him like any other army. bait and flee. shoot sections of his army off before they manage to crawl towards you. refuse flank it, at 6" march he won't be able to get to your big guns for a long time. i wouldn't recomend heavy magic, dwarves are geared up for stopping it, and chances are you'll falter if you take that route. shooting is a good idea, but not magic as much. |

I was looking to play dwarf at one point. I wanted to make a swarmy army and dwarf can easily get maneurable if you sue a lot of march block. That way you can move 6" while your opponent is at half move. Also, when you get into close combat dwarf doo move a lot faster then most race since they can't get march blocked. |
