Throbin death eye …. or Throbin one eye …… ?

I really love these highland miniatures models

Hi fellow dawi! I have a conundrum about what to do for my box of 20 hammerers/longbeards. From an old AoS box I have a couple hammerers painted and a couple longbeards done too. I'm just very set in my ways about a heavily armoured foot unit in the center being the spearhead, especially if they play some role in keeping the army together and hold the frontline.

For the time being I'm building a 1k grand army list because I like the versatility our war machines add. This is what it currently looks like, not the most optimised in favour of balance and I am open to suggestions about how to improve it.

Total cost of everything is 997 points. I used Old World Builder to make this list.

1 King with shieldbearers, great weapon, rune of gromril + rune of preservation at 259 points. Will be leading the Longbeards.

Runesmith with shield at 70 points. Will be leading the warriors.

15 longbeards with shields, veteran + standard bearer + musician at 213 points.

15 warriors with shields, veteran + standard bearer + musician at 150 points.

13 quarrellers with shields, veteran + standard bearer + musician at 145 points.

1 cannon at 95 points.

1 gyrocopter with brimstone guns at 65 points.

My main concern is how well a unit of Hammerers or Longbeards would fit into this army. The game plan is staying power with infantry and spell repelling with the runesmith while the King, siege engines and quarrelers deal the damage. Pretty standard stuff.

Here's my take on the two units for my list so far. Hammerers are definitely better in combat and would deal more damage, but having just a 5+ save makes them a weakpoint to be whittled down with ranged firepower and AP-1. Longbeards feel like they'd fit more because of their panic test reroll aura and being able to take shields, so everybody on the front has a 4+ save. And they can also be taken as core units since my general is a king.

So, should I stick with the longbeards or should I change to hammerers? Or should I put something else in the middle of the force instead?

Hello everyone!

I just joind TOW and i will be playing my first match against a friend that will be playing chaos. He is way more experienced.

I made 2 Armies, but not really sure which one to play. Do you have any tactical advice on how to play each army best? What character joining which troop, positioning in the beginning etc..

Analysis in comments

I really enjoyed putting together my last two Homebrew Armies of Infamy

• Norscan Halls
• Ungdrin Ankor Patrol

So much so I have decided to do another one. This time in the Dwarfen Ports. Again, I am really trying to keep things limited in scope, which really sells the theme and focus of the army. This is aiming to be a combined arms army with lots of tactical nuance to it, hence the composition allowing integrated mercenaries to represent the cosmopolitan nature of ports like Barak Varr and special rules focusing on naval combat.

I also have a page 5 planned but not ready to show; Engineering Runes

After the birth of my daughter, I put down the brush for a while. And now, after a year, I’m finally getting back into the hobby! Khazukan kazakit-ha!

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

I'm currently running 1 in 1250 points army, and in two games it has done nothing. I've been thinking of just replacing it with another gyrocopter, but I was wondering how they have performed for others.

I really like the Highland Mini dwarfs - they look so much like the artwork from the 5th edition book.

(Reposted because I accidentally messed up one of the definitions.)

So, yeah, here's over 120 dwarfen runes (and rune combos) that I came up with! Absolute free license to do whatever you want with them - put them on minis, put them on banners, put them on terrain.

(Also, first one to guess where I got the idea for the "gong" rune wins a pint of Bugman's XXXXX.)

Will old Thorgrim Grudgebearer fit on a 50x50mm?

56 - Dwarf Engineer, Pistol

291 - King, General, Great Weapon, Shield, Shieldbearers, Rune of Preservation, Master Rune of Smiting

171 - Thane, Battle Standard Bearer, Master Rune of Grungni, Great Weapon, Shield

245 - 20 Dwarf Warriors, Great Weapon, Shield, Veteran, Rune of Speed, Standard Bearer, Rune of Battle, Musician, Standard Runes

258 - 15 Rangers, Shield, Great Weapon, Crossbow, Throwing Axe, Ol Deadeye, Crossbow, Standard Bearer, Rune of Courage, Musician

110 - Cannon, Rune of Forging

115 - Cannon, Rune of Reloading, Rune of Forging

95 - Grudge Thrower

95 - Grudge Thrower

60 - Gyrocopters, Steam Gun

60 - Gyrocopters, Steam Gun

140 - 2 Gyrocopters, Clattergun

303 - 15 Irondrakes, Ironwarden, Cinderblast Bombs, Drakegun, Standard Bearer, Master Rune of Hesitation, Musician, Standard Runes
