<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "The unkillable dwarf lord"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net The unkillable dwarf lord Its not really a battle report sort of a fragment of one

I fought my friend dwarf vs O&G and he had loads of goblins. 6 units of 30, however my Lord was not worried. I had given a rune which gave him a 1+ armour save, so baciacally he could only be killed by something with, S4 or more, something with AP rule, or something which ignored armour saves.
Goblins are none of these so i just charged them all, and they couldnt kill it.

OWNAGE!!

I won however by heroic lord later got killed by loads of trolls

The end

OWNAGE!!! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/737472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/737472.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord

Damn cheater!

However awesome it would be if a 1+ made him invulnerable to Strength 3, that's just not the case - as many above have stated.

Mounted on Shield Bearers (gives him +2 to his armor, makes him US3 and thus Immune to Killing Blow)

Rune of Stone (Gives him a 1+ Armor Save total)
Master Rune of Steel (any hits over S5, count as S5)
Rune of Resistance (Re-Roll Failed Armor Saves)
Master Rune of Spite (4+ Ward Save)

Give him a Great Weapon so he has 4 S6 attacks, albeit non-magical.

So you've got something that's WS7, T5, that is only ever wounded on 4's, thanks to anything over S5 being limited to S5, then he's got at worst a 3+ Save (unless you're hit by something that ignores armor), that you can re-roll, and a 4+ Ward. And he's Immune to Killing Blow.

Of course, seeing a Dwarf Lord on the table means you will never, ever see combat, since most other characters can just go around him and his unit, but still, it's nice to know that if a Blood Thirster DID charge in, you can probably bend him over your stubby little knee's and whittle him down eventually. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739088.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord

I think voodo boy is saying it will total 1+ but if he thinks it gives him a 1+ armour save without any extras thats the wrong rune.

And how much will all that cost, will it fit in his magical things point restriction]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739102.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739102.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord
Starts at 4+ (Gromril Armor)
+2 to that from the Shield Bearer's (2+ Armor Save)
+1 to that from Rune of Stone (1+ Armor Save)

Yes it all just fits into his 125 Points allowance for runic items.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739283.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord

Sure you can use the Master Rune of Challenge to try and get things to charge into his unit, but that doesn't work on half the armies on the field, and especially against the ones that matter. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/739498.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord

It's the perennial problem with Dwarfs. You can make them really hard to kill, or really offensive, but not really both.

Sure they can be tough and hit hard, but then they're not really going to stand up to other Lords/Monsters. And a Great Weapon isn't bad on him, it's still 4 WS7 S6 attacks, the only downside being that they're not magical so they can't hurt Wraiths.

Personally, I find the above lord to be moderately good. You put a Thane in his unit as well that has the Master Rune of Challenge, and you can effectively take most Dragon Riders out of the game since they're likely not Immune to Psych.

Force them to Charge in or flee, Challenge with the Unkillable Lord, and then win on CR by a decent amount. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/741326.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/741326.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord

Very true, either or really, give my thane/lord the rune which gives it +1 T equalling T6 and against things which are mostly S3 or 4 like elves it can b very hard 2 kill. T6 means S4 needs a 6 to wound it, that is hard, trust me]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/741351.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/741351.page GMT Re:The unkillable dwarf lord ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/741585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/741585.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord

Cannon's kill stuff, butt with Dragons that have real ward saves (greater daemons), or "randomization" saves so your cannon ball goes into the Inverse Ward Save guy on top of the dragon, being able to kill a Dragon/GD in a round of even Dwarf shooting is not likely.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/743232.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/743232.page GMT Re:The unkillable dwarf lord lol i guess congrats on the win, even if it was under false rule pretenses]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/771014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/771014.page GMT The unkillable dwarf lord http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/771959.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/241695/771959.page GMT
