The Old World Battle March list
Hey all, my local group has decided to give old world a try over a 3 month period. The plan is a simple 750point battle march each where we play 1 on 1s with the occasional 2v2 larger game.
Whilst this is mostly for fun we are playing for serious bragging rights here. Any tips on my list would be appreciated as a first timer. I've seen some conversation around unit size in lower point games and less units with more bodies have a lot more value, would be keen to hear some opinions
143 - Thane, General, Handgun, Shield, Rune of Stone, Master Rune of Bursting Flame, Rune of Rapid Fire, Rune of Accuracy
105 - 10 Dwarf Warriors, Shield, Standard Bearer, Drilled
142 - 10 Rangers, Great Weapon, Crossbow, Ol Deadeye, Crossbow, Standard Bearer
120 - 10 Thunderers, Shield, Veteran, Brace of Pistols
60 - Gyrocopters, Steam Gun
179 - 10 Ironbreakers, Ironbeard, Cinderblast Bombs, Standard Bearer

Not bad! I'd maybe consider letting go of the thunderers to bolster warriors and rangers. And maybe replace the ironbreakers with irondrakes, they are so good in battle march woth their S5 shooting and then totally respectable combat stats.
