Costs 270

Tempted to have one that runs like this

Dwarf lord

Master rune of smiting
Master rune of Alaric the mad
Rune of fire

Attacks with 4 str 4 ws7 I4 attacks that each multiply by D6 and ignore armour and are flaming, this also costs 270 points.

Thoughts, are either viable? Can you suggest somthing better if you dont like these?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273175.page GMT Re:Dwarf lord setup. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/331704.page

Try looking through this thread, there are some nice builds there.

I think your second build is illegal. You can only have one master rune on an item.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273191.page GMT Re:Dwarf lord setup.

Ah forgot that rule. Thanks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273198.page GMT Dwarf lord setup.
You do have a durable build though- with the most noticeable weakness being your vulnerability to killing blow.

Another option to look into (particularly for durable builds, in my mind) is the lord on shield bearers, which are still good value in 8th. The primary challenge tends to be the model!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273710.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273710.page GMT Re:Dwarf lord setup.
Rune of cleaving
Rune of fire
Rune of speed

Master rune of spite

Rune of stone
Rune of resistance
Rune of preservation

Expensive yes but he still gets a decent rerollable armour save, the 4+ ward and immunity to poison/killing blow (Which is very much worth the points). The weapon runes are just my personal preference as the extra strength and initiative is nice so he can get a few extra hits in against alot of enemies. More often than not will be fielded in 30 to 40 warrior block with shields and the army BSB set up for defence. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2273952.page GMT Dwarf lord setup. str units that are Hording up now adays, your warriors will not save as many CR as they could inflict with GW.

True. Ill have to see what the local meta is like with the bigger battles in my parts and take it from there once I've expanded my collection. Only played around 1000-1500 Points last few months with the skull pass dwarfs and some ones I borrowed off a friend or proxied and in 1500 fights he's done really well chewing his way through most things he's faced. I can definitely see the need to stick him and possibly the BSB thane buddy of his in a tougher unit like hammerers or longbeards in time to come.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2275131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336380/2275131.page GMT
