Now I just rediscovered the siege rules in the 6th edition BRB and integrated it into a campaign me and my friends are playing, i'm playing as VC, and there are High Elves, Warriors of Chaos, and O&G playing. All armies can get dog of war units (mainly for use of cannons) but which army do you think is well suited for those siege rules, and I mean out of all armies, not just the ones I mentioned.
Assuming some artillery from dogs of war, I think undead could siege a castle pretty well. The ethereal units can just walk through the walls, or if they get on the ramparts striking last won't matter since most units wouldn't be able to damage them. Their core units should never go up the wall though since there is not static combat res, but the grave guard would be pretty nasty assaulters. That and the whole army being unbreakable and ressurectable means that the enemy shooting won't take dish out many casualties.
But dwarfs and empire have all those lovely cannons...
