Being a dwarf player I recently played against lizardmen, and couldnt help getting irritated by what nasty things skinks can do to a dwarf army... he used doubleshots almost all the time so all he needed were 6'es which mean they wounded me immediately on 6, and he raped some of my warmachines quite fast... but now the real trouble: how am I as dwarf general supposed to react against that? it seemed quite a waste to fire my grudgethrowers on 6 tiny skinks... with the result of getting raped next turn. Any ideas how a dwarf player should counter skinks?

Thx

Not rellying on Warmachines to carry the day also works.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2439435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2439435.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2439543.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2439543.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440121.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440121.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440428.page GMT Deployment is important even putting R&F models in the way means that he needs a 7 and not 6 so no poison if he has to shoot thru a unit at your war machines, or he singleshoots and you halve his damage potential. either way its good that you ran into this problem as now you can think about it at deployment next time and counter it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440483.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440483.page GMT
Things like scouts, fast cavalry, and flyers are hard for dwarfs to deal with. A few optional solutions:

1) a Strollaz rune to let you make what amounts to a vanguard move. Nobody says that unit has to go straight forward... why not turn one around to face the threat?

2) Gyrocopter. he is speedy.

3) A unit of thunderers with shields or quarrelers with great weapons, even if you only take 10, will completely ruin almost any fast flanker unit without even having to try. Flank your war machines with a troop like this and use them to chase the scouts around. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440877.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2440877.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2441191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2441191.page GMT
Really, I think I decided that careful deployment and an Organ Gun are the best way to go. Those auto-hits are no respecter of skirmishers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2447957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/346340/2447957.page GMT
