I'm not sure who i'll be playing but this is the first list i'm going to try warmachine with, does anyone have any tips on how to play with it?

Just so's you know, 350 is usually a 'duel', which means all jacks/beasts. I've played 350 with solos, units etc. and it's great but your opponent has to be up for that.

IF you're going to have units @350, find a way to squeeze a blaster in this list by swapping out a gunner (if you don't have one, just proxy for the game; they're essentially identical anyway).

Otherwise, looks fine. Keep the Driller as a bodyguard for Gorten with Thor near the gunbunnies, as they'll take damage much faster. High Shields can advance deploy, but not sure if that's worth it considering they'd be all on their lonesome. YMMV. Gorten's going to be mostly casting Solid Ground and Rock Wall (for the Highshields) and putting focus on the gunbunnies, and waiting to pop landslide. Just be careful what you wish for with his feat!

Good luck!

I just realised that i put the high shields instead of the forge guard! (dont have the high shields yet sadly)

also didn't realise it was bad form to bring troops to a game this small, does anyone have recommendations to warjacks to add to a small dwarf army?

Ask your opponent or organizer about whether it's 350 pt Mangled Metal (caster and jacks only), or if you're allowed to bring troops and solos. 350 pt games are typically Mangled Metal. If it's caster and jacks only, I'd just bring the Gorten boxset, which should be pretty close to 350 points. It's not a OMG army, but it can be effective. Gorten will probably do most of the damage for you. Use his Feat to set up a charge by the Driller on a particular target.
