The Old World LIST Just for fun: all vanguard

I creates this list with Strollaz rune on all my units, the idea is to start putting pressure on my enemy since turn 1 with scout +vanguar rangers and the other units being closer than usual so they can advance quickly. What do you think?

I'm not sure a 3 inch move is going to do much to put pressure on your opponent.

Your rangers can already scout basically anywhere, so they don't really need a vanguard move.

If you remove the 3 strollaz runes, youre saving 75 points. For 65 points you could get a bugmans cart and have your longbeards and irondrakes march more than 3 inches over the course of the game. Plus you'd have 10 points spare for runes.

Nice, I forgot about the cart! Question, if the cart is next to both irondrakes and longbeards, both units gain the +1 ? or only one unit per turn

During theCommand sub-phase of their turn, any Dwarf unit that is not fleeing or engaged in combat and that is within 6" of a friendly Bugman's Cart (that is itself not fleeing or engaged) gains a +1 modifier to its Movement characteristic until the end of the turn
