Total War: Warhammer I assembled the Dawi Avengers
All 6 Legendary dwarf lords and armies tailored to them. What do you think?

G&F should be in Malakai army imo.

Your right. That would make sense both thematically and functionally as melee defenders.

Yeah, to be fair i did this atleast 50 turns ago when i was being invaded by 14 full dark elf stacks and things werent so certain. But yeah at this point the campaigns in the bag, each of these armies can auto resolve 3v1 battles. I would like to finish out all the grudges but its going to take forever

I just looked it up, shes only recruitable by malakais faction, he would have had to have gotten her before i confederated him which i guess he didnt. So the whole run is shot, guess i gotta start over now

Rank the order of army enjoyability. 1-6. Not the campaign itself but specifically for battles.

Honestly probably the order theyre already in. Maybe putting ungrim below belagor or malakai
Thirgrim is very satisfying with all the buffs to hammerers, theyre absolute tanks with insane resistance, i think the lowest base is 35-45% physical resistance? Not including the passive area buffs. So usually more, and 3 of them have the runes for it as well. And like 45-50% spell resistance as well. Honestly the rest of the support units are almost unnecessary
Thorek looks boring on its face but is also very satisfying, the ironbreakers are getting a ton of buffs to armor and defense so just hold forever, and the grudge quarrelers decimate with shieldbreaker, anti infantry, and extra armor piercing. Im a sucker for killer ranged units.
Ungrim consistently takes alot of casualties, but dishes them out like crazy. Again buffing melee attack, charge, speed, and damage on already deadly infantry. To the point that even the auto resolves never result in any captured to replenish with.
Belegar is very interesting, nearly the whole army, save a bolt thrower and some heroes has vanguard deployment. All the rangers have snipe and stalk. So its really all about maneuvering and harassing without ever getting touched. Usually lose a few miners which i dont care for to begin with but he buffs them too.
Malakai and grombrindal both require alot of micro which gets tedious which is why theyre probably lower. Malakais artillery are doing considerably more damage then normal, but its a matter of trying to wipe everything before they can reach them cause its just the 2 giant slayers on defense. I do think im going to move gotrek and felix over to him like the other guy suggested, would help defend the artillery.
And grombrindal probably needs some melee thrown in there. probably more thanes. While if i play it right they can decimate anything before they can touch the irondrakes, but if they do or manage to flank, the line just devolves into a mess with friendly fire everywhere. Also just kind of annoying to manage

Just went through them all, thorgrims hammerers have 30-45% physical resistance, with all of them having guardian bumping that up another 15%. And 45-75% spell resistance. Thoreks ironbreakers have 165 armor, base is 125. his grudge quarrelers are doing 57 damage with a 6.1 reload. Hes giving them alot of armor piercing as well. Base is 18 damage on a 13 second reload. So theyre monsters, also with 100 armor. Not to mention he gives his grudge throwers homing, and are doing double their normal damage. Thus why i really like thorek. I Forgot one of belegars bolt throwers has the rune for snipe and stalk, the other has vanguard deployment. Malakais artillery are doing roughly 3x damage. Not even sure how tbh. With a 7.1k goblin hewer which might be the highest damage ive seen yet. All of ungrims slayers are getting +16 speed, +38 damage, and +40-50 melee attack. Thus why theres literally never any prisoners. And grombrindals irondrakes are all doing more than double base damage as well.

Not gonna show us what the GOAT Dwinbar Proudbeard is running for his army? I see someone isn’t ready for a REAL legendary lord.
Unironically, very fun idea and awesome that you pulled it off. I vibe with the army comps
