8th edition: 2000 points vs Dwarven gunline
Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2016 11:40 am
Hello Everyone,
This Thursday I will be playing my first game of fantasy in a long time, and I'll be facing of against the dwarves of one of my friends. The few times I've seen him play with them he used a gunline army, and I expect it'll be the same when we face each other later this week.
I've thrown together the following list that will hopefully stand a fighting chance:
Lords:
Morathi
Heroes: 279
Master (bsb) 167
-heavy armor, sea dragon cloak, shield
-dawnstone, iron curse icon, sword of might
-dark steed
Assassin 112
- ahw
- manbane
Core: (500)
5 dark riders 110
- shields, xbows
10 darkshards 130
- musician
10 darkshards 130
- musician
10 darkshards 130
- musician
Special: 710
1 cold one chariot
5 cold one knights 185
- full command
- gleaming pennant
War hydra 180
- fiery breath
Reaper Bolt Thrower
Reaper Bolt Thrower
5 shades 90
- great weapons
Rare: 135
5 Doomfire Warlocks 135
- master of warlocks
---
The plan is to try and whittle down the thunderers with the darkshards, before charging them with the cavalry & chariot. The shades (+assasin) & bolt throwers will focus on the warmachines. Morathi will fly around and depending on the spells she rolls debuff or blast the enemy. The master will join the warlocks and (hopefully) cause trouble for the dwarves, at the same time the hydra tries to get into close combat whilst attracting the attention of the warmachines.
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
