Hi, I have a game at 2500pts against my dwarf friend and was asking myself if a triple warlord build is efficient. the major drawback was that it take all my 25% for lord and I would like to add a BSB and WE with rocket. so it leave me with less point than I am comfortable for the unit of my army. I don't want to use HPA, DW or Plague furnace, but lot of slave & clan rats with WTF, PGM and doom flayer and some GR and RO. so as anybody try something like that ? here are the warlords I want to use : The survivor (general 205pts) : warlord on litter with enchanted shield, ward save 4+ and skalm the character killer (223pts) : warlord on pox rat with fell blade and shield the damage dealer (183pts) : warlord on Bone breaker with dwarf slayer and shield total lord : 611pts |

Warlord

I like it. I'm not a fan of list tailoring specifically, but the idea of multiple Warlords with multiple specific roles is great. |

Skipping out on the HPA, DW and Furnace definitely frees you up enough points to make 3 warlords work. In fact, if you're only going against dwarves I think you could totally ignore the magic phase and still come out ahead (afterall he won't be casting at you). So a BSB + DoomrocketWE would fit in your budget still. If you do decide to load out on slaves and clan rats, I would encourage you to take some gutter runners to deal with his war machines. With an all infantry list and if he castles, you may find it tough to get through his lines and shut down his shooting; gutter runners can do the job with less hassle and swifter than trying to push all forward. A three warlord list can definitely work at 2500. --Cap |

If your opponent is tailoring his list for you, return the favor...
I agree with you, dwarf are so strong in dispelling that I don't don't want to spend 1 point in any magic level.
that's what I was thinking 2 unit of 5 GR with poison and sling will have to do the job. I will also take the storm banner and hope that my unit will not be to hurt by his 2 shooting phase before the first contact. mutate : the list is in the Army list section : 2500 pts vs Dwarf triple warlords |

in 8th dwarves only get +2 to dispel now. How is that good magic defense? Dwarves have been put down by 8th in my opinion, at least when it comes to magic defense. Now their shooting will be on top unfortunately. That will be a problem for you, not their magic resistance. Keep that in mind. |

the dwarf get the best of my 2 dices add to that 1 dice for the Anvil add one for each runemaster and 2 for each runelord after they can take more than one dispel rune, have some nasty master rune against magic and can put magical resistance on banner or hero I don't think they are naked against magic |

In 8th everyone is good at dispelling. Especially if you only have a level one or level two caster. You only get one or two spells, unless you chuck a whole handful of dice and blow yourself up he will probably stop it. |

because I don't have unlimited points and I don't know where I can find the point to have more giant rats and the giant rat was there to be kill or try to go for shooting troupes. I can replace the storm vermin by clan rat and use the point save to augment my giant rat but I will perhaps goes for more RO instead (S5 against dwarf toughness and armor can do the trick) |
