So recently I have been creating many Dwarven army lists, with varying levels of war machines, warriors, special units, manly Hammerers, and I have come to an impass. What is the best all comers for Dwarfs? More war machines or more big blocks of core? Runesmith and Slayer or Thane BSB? I am in great need of assistance regarding a solid list. An wll comers list yes, but also one that will fight lots of DE and Deamons, and Lizardmen. So what it the best way to base an army?

I've seen much acid heaved upon all variants of slayers except...dragon slayers I think. Most strong dwarf lists field lots of war machines.

Fire, back up, fire, back up, fire, back up, fire, move forward and clean up.

Take it with a grain of salt though.

I just started dwarfs as well. What I've found in my first 10 games is that firepower is what players fear of us the most. I just played a doubles game and using my 2 blocks of warriors w/ shields and one hammerers group to counter enemy charges was brutal but my most damaging stuff (and the most fun imho) was my cannons and organ guns mowing down and making run big blocks of calvery... So what I say is this. why did you picks dwarves? For me it was the mass arty we can throw down, so thats how i play them. But if you like hordes of squat little men with over-sized axes and epic heros cutting down swaths of gobluins then thats what you should do.
