<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Dwarfs good for a first time player?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Dwarfs good for a first time player? 40k, and I've always wanted to play the dwarfs. Are they an easy army to learn/play? From some of the BR's Iv'e seen they seem like necrons to me, tough, little to no magic, and great for ranged combat.

Also I wouldn't want to start an army and have it updated soon, so will it be updated soon and I should wait till then?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5605355.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5605355.page GMT Re:Dwarfs good for a first time player?

And, they have some pretty awesome looking models, and have units that can hold their own in close combat! Trust me, they're a devious opponent, and tough to beat.. My Dark Elves have fallen many-a-time to the foul clutches of my friend's Dwarves..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5605440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5605440.page GMT Dwarfs good for a first time player?
Lizards are next, for revision, after that it is uncertain but could indeed be dwarves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5606348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5606348.page GMT Dwarfs good for a first time player?

They dispel in their magic phase.

I don't want to deter a new player from their army of choice, but to be fair they are not Necrons, as their infantry is actually fairly poor compared to other armies either due to cost or their rather unimpressive statline. The artillery really is the saving grace, but only in higher point games can you bring to bear any real threatening firepower.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5606919.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5606919.page GMT Dwarfs good for a first time player? ld 9 as standard, dwarf core us excellent, also add in thunderers and quarelers, longbeards, rangers, yep dwarf core is just fine]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5607159.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5607159.page GMT Dwarfs good for a first time player?
But when it comes to WHFB, because the hobby is so expensive, I say go with what you will like. It's a lot harder to try 7 different armies and see which you enjoy most, without robbing a bank to fund your hobby. If you can, go to a GW store and see if you can play with some of their armies on display. Or toadie up with some players or just watch some games. Nothing worse than spending hundreds of dollars and getting something you ultimately don't like. Kind of like me and this silk dress I bought :(]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5607664.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5607664.page GMT Dwarfs good for a first time player?

Some of the best battle reports are on youtube by oncebitten360. He is a very smart player and his reports are excellent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5609607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5609607.page GMT Dwarfs good for a first time player?
Anyways, they have some of the best Core and Special infantry in the game as well as of course the best war machines. Also your enemy can forget about their magic phase because it wont exist against Dwarfs. Many people say they are boring to play and play against, but there are many different armies that can be done if you really put your mind and skill to it, and they can make the game much more interesting. Personally I don't find them boring at all, there isn't many things better than watching the helpless enemies scramble across the battlefield being blown to pieces by cannons, only to smash into the unrelenting wall of armour and muscle to be smashed aside!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5612756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526340/5612756.page GMT
