I've been asking around and all I've heard is that dwarfs are only really good for gunlines, but I refuse to believe 5.5 gnoblars for a great-weapon wielding warrior is at all bad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3289767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3289767.page GMT Re:Close Combat Dwarfs cc dwarf army. it is a scary opponent he has afew guns to deter flankers but most goes cc. the horde of hammerers is just mean lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3289829.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3289829.page GMT Close Combat Dwarfs
Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't bring a bunch of war machines (3 cannons, 3 grudge throwers, 2 organ guns, for example). You'll just want a bunch of solid blocks of infantry to back those up.

Dwarf Warriors with great weapons make for pretty decent fighters for their points. Longbeards and Hammerers are even better, particularly if you take a Dwarf King. You can wind up with a very solid close combat army that just so happens to have eight pieces of artillery backing it up pretty easily.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3289905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3289905.page GMT Re:Close Combat Dwarfs cc... All I've played against so far just sit back and shoot a dozen war machines. They only keep a few block of troops to stop me from reaching their machines.

It's worth point out, Longbeards with Great Weapons makes for a WS6, S5 core choice at 13 points a pop.

But I like dwarf fighty lists! Use war machines for support or to soften enemy units, then charge on in!

Hammerers are incredible, long beards are great mainly for old grumblers rule ( I'd rather see more gw warriors on the table) and quarreller rangers can vanguard, shoot, and still pack str5 t4!

To speed up your short legged warriors you can use MRoGrungi and/or the rune of challenge! Good luck using a list that doesn't sit still for 4 turns

your opponents will appreciate it lol ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290163.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290163.page GMT Re:Close Combat Dwarfs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290353.page GMT Close Combat Dwarfs

Dwarves have three ways to counteract them - scouts of our own, Gyrocopteres, and shooting the maneuver control units to death. So the odds are you won't be able to take a 'close-combat only' list and be successful.

I find a pair of organ guns to guard the flanks quite valuable. A grudge thrower is good for softening up opposing blocks of infantry. Cannons deal with monsters well.

Combine these with a Strollaz rune BSB and you can be in close combat quickly, and on your terms too!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290602.page GMT Close Combat Dwarfs ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290608.page GMT Re:Close Combat Dwarfs

Rangers are 0-1, and there must be more warriors than Longbeards.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290707.page GMT Close Combat Dwarfs

You'd think, but actually it is. Bugman lets you field an additional group of Longbeard Rangers, and due to the following FAQ entry, Longbeard Rangers don't count towards your warriors/longbeard ratio.

Q. If a unit of Warriors or Longbeards is upgraded to Rangers, does
the unit continue to count as part of the ratio which restricts players to
not having more units of Longbeards than they have Warriors? (p33)
A. No. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290722.page GMT Re:Close Combat Dwarfs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290723.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290723.page GMT Re:Close Combat Dwarfs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3290747.page GMT Close Combat Dwarfs

Not to mention that a Dwarf King allows you to take one unit of Longbeards more than you have Warriors anyway.

So Dwarf King's Longbeards (upgraded to Rangers) one extra more than the zero Warriors you take.

Josef Bugman's Longbeard Rangers, one extra to the normal number of Ranger units available.

It looks like a nice list, have you played it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3305719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3305719.page GMT Close Combat Dwarfs

Noooo. When i'm considering taking up an army, the first thing I do is make an army list. I have dozens of them now, and a lot of them are pretty niche. The ones I think are interesting, or I'm serious about I post on the forums. That list is as far as I got with Dwarves. Honestly I'm just not big on their models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3305860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3305860.page GMT Close Combat Dwarfs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3305901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395272/3305901.page GMT
