I'm considering getting into ME SBG and my first force must be Dwarfs of some sort.

For all the foibles of the Hobbit films, Dain and the Iron Hill Dwarfs were a real treat to me as a lifelong D&D Dwarf guy.

From what I've read so far, the Iron Hill Dwarfs really focus on their core warriors and the shield wall tactic, but is there a way to build an all cavalry force with Dain on the boar, goats, and the charriot?

I'm not trying to build the most OP or flavor of the month force. I focus on "the rule of cool..." but I don't want to totally shoot myself in the foot either.

I'd appreciate your thoughts!

That list would be absolutely gorgeous but sub par unfortunately.

Cavalry armies really thrive when they have access to plentiful might, so you might struggle a bit as iron hills due to your low model and hero counts. Rohan for instance has cheaper characters and much cheaper cavalry, and a special banner to regenerate might.

Props to anyone mad enough to put down the cash for it though, and it will definitely be entertaining when things get rolling.
