Hello ladies and gents.

So I was wondering is there any army that uses seige engines of any type?

I was told by the wife to pick out 800$ of models I want for christmas. I am lossing a lot of intrest in GW fantasy line but I like the company. I am feeling a lack of seige war fair like the old empire or tomb kings. Is there anyone other then skaven still shooting? Or are they all just skirmishes armies?

I need to go to work every day.

Most armies shoot though artillery is typically too expensive for what it does.

However chaos dwarves have a magma cannon that people take 2-3 of.

Yeah, the Forgeworld Chaos Dwarves have a lot of war engines.

Order has the dedicated subfaction Ironweld Arsenal with cannons, bombers, rockets, etc.

Destruction has goblin constructs of various flavours and an ogre cannon.

Siege's definitely happen and many cities have substantial defences both mundane - walls, cannons, etc and magical - wards etc. Often covered in the fluff novels and even the game text - there was a whole battletome on Chaos fortresses.

Factions deal with them in different ways:

Many have powerful and often flying monsters - so Greater Daemons, Dragons (living and undead), Terrorgehiests, Gargants etc can be very effective against fortresses.

There are large amounts of mundane, aetherpunk firepower to Order - Dwarves - both disposed and Overlords (the ones with flying ships packed with guns and gun toting dwarves) - the Overlords Ships are very handy in attacking AND defending fortress / cities. Daemon Cannons and Warptech firepower for Chaos. Ogor cannons and Goblin war machines.

so yep lots

Thank you guys for all the advise . I thought FW stopped making chaos dwarfs.... hmm.

Anyone know how to buy FW from not FW website? Not a recast but to avoid the shipping and the import fee. Like does the local GW "nearly 45 min drive from me now" allow me to order from them?

Not that I'm aware of. I ordered all mine through FW. I can't order FW from my GW store.

Check with local game shops. One in my area will occasionally do a group FW order and cover the shipping/fees. You may have a shop near you that does the same thing.
