What is the best defence army in all of warhammer

**canadianguy**

Dark Elves because the best defence is a great offence! lol
It really depends on what you mean by defence. Likely candidtes are dwarves.

**CthuluIsSpy**

Define defense.

Do you mean less likely to run away?
Probably lizardmen

Do you mean best armor?
Probably a tie between dwarves and WoC

Do you mean magic defense?
Probably dwarves.

Do you mean speed (can't hurt you if they can't catch you)?
Probably Wood Elves

Do you mean toughness?
Probably Dwarves, WoC, Ogres and Lizardmen

Do you mean wounds?
Probably Ogres.

**BlapBlapBlap**

All armies have their defensive units; HE have PG, Lizardmen have Saurus, etc. These "Anvils" are part of a strategy, depending on how you want them.

I want my army to be able to hold a base.
They will only attack when people come in range of my archers

Mmm k...

Probably Dwarves then. They tend to favor the turtling approach.

**Niiai**

If you want that then I would suggest the magic/ranged attack heavy Tomb Kings.

2 Level 4 casters, 1 nehakarim and 1 death. Give them a poerstone and the nekahal scroll of ekstra dice. Casket of Souls and SSC. 3 archer blocks, 10 wide, 2 deep. One unit of sepultra stalkers and some other stuff for melee or mobilaty. Funn funn funn :-)

Or you can fill your armylist with battlecats and hail he-man. 5wT8 is pretty though.
