Out of interest are there any other armies with great weapon core choices? Dwarves have warriors, longbeards and even crossbowmen, basically ALL their core units, but the only one i can think of in another army is chaos warriors and marauders.

i'm just wondering if the gw vs defensive choice is mainly a dwarf issue or a warhammer wide one?

Ogre Kingdoms have Ironguts with great weapons in their core choices. They can't choose to change their weapons for ironfists and hand weapons though (that is what basic ogres are for).

I think O&G have good core choices, Regulars boyz are strong cheap infantry, and one block of Biguns (which is also core) is really good. Night goblins make good tarpits and the use of fanatics, netters, and cheap characters in their ranks makes them useful as well. wolf riders and spider riders are good core chaff as well.

If you guys want to talk more about Dwarfs, I'd suggesting going to the thread "Dwarfs: Total Revamp". Or, if it's too old, I'll start a new one. This thread dried up a while back.
