I'm due to take on a dwarf army next week. As I've never played the guy before I have no idea what he is bringing so I have gone for a general anti dwarf list and would appreciate any comments or observations particularly around the wizard, rat ogres and weapon team

Warlord Warpstone Armour and Dwarfbane

Assasin - to get the inevitable cannons

Chieftan BSB Clan Superiority banner

Warlock engineer level 1 pistol and condenser

20 stormvermin shields mu, champ, sb storm banner rattlign gun

30 Slaves spear and shield, champ

20 plague monks mu, champ, sb plague banner

2 Rat Ogres, 1 MB Rat Ogre with packmaster

5 gutter runners with poisoned attacks

5 globadiers inc Bomb and Death globe

Doomwheel

Warlord Warpstone Armour and Dwarfbane

could really use a ward save, and a shield, dwarves will laugh at a 4+ armor save.

Assasin - to get the inevitable cannons

and how pray tell will he do that? hes in a unit, and if he isn't than hes going to get sniped, get gutter runners, cheaper, more efficient.

Chieftan BSB Clan Superiority banner

Get him a shield, and you dont need the clan banner, it requires the bsb to be in combat, not something you want with dwarves. Id actually give him the storm banner and give your SV the razor standard.

Warlock engineer level 1 pistol and condenser

drop the pistol, consider investing in a doom rocket.

20 stormvermin shields mu, champ, sb storm banner rattlign gun

drop the rattling gun, invest in more models.

30 Slaves spear and shield, champ

drop the spears and champ, get music and more slaves.

20 plague monks mu, champ, sb plague banner

Id drop these for more storm vermin really, these unit individually are to small to make an impact.

2 Rat Ogres, 1 MB Rat Ogre with packmaster

not big enough, you'll average 3-4 wounds and any dwarf worth his salt will hit you back with great weapons, and those will eat rat ogres for breakfast. Even flanking with these beasts is iffy at best.

5 gutter runners with poisoned attacks

and slings ;)

5 globadiers inc Bomb and Death globe

mmm, is an iffy choice but against dwarves globes tend to pay off.

Doomwheel

just learn to dodge cannon shots.

Thanks for the tips. I'll see what i can rustle up over the weekend. One qustion is it worth taking a grey seer or would you stick with the warlord? and if I was to take Rat Ogres what would you suggest as a minumum unit size?

I'd stick with the warlord against dwarves, they have to much magic resistance so your caster is basically neutered, and you don't need magic defense as they have none to speak of.

and I would run at least 6 with sqweel if any at all.
