I've been tinkering with a DoW list the past few days, here's what I ended up with:

Characters:
General 126
Heavy armour, enchanted shield, sword of might.

Paymaster 61
Heavy armour, shield

Hireling wizard 145
Level 2, 2 x dispel scroll

Hireling wizard 145
Level 2, 2 x dispel scroll


Core:
19 Pikemen C/M/S 239
Heavy armour

19 Pikemen C/M/S 239
Heavy armour

19 Pikemen C/M/S 239
Heavy armour

19 Pikemen C/M/S 239
Heavy armour

10 Crossbowmen 80

10 Crossbowmen 80

10 Crossbowmen 80

10 Dualists 90
Hand weapon, pistols

Special:
16 Dwarfs C/M/S 174
Heavy armour, shield

16 Dwarfs C/M/S 174
Heavy armour, shield

Rare:
Cannon 85

Hot pot 50

Total 2246


The tactics are dead simple, the pikemen line up with the dwarfs on each flank. The cannon, hot pot and crossbowmen take up positions on a hill in the back. The characters each go in a pikeman regiment and the dualists either lurk around the back to protect the cannon and crossbowmen or they advance on the sidelines to annoy the enemy.

You might be wondering why I dont have more than one cannon, but we're playing with some restrictions, I cant have more than 1 of each type of rare, and I'm only allowed to duplicate 1 entry from the specials section, and I can only dublicate that once.

A very good list there. But I would replace one of the crossbowmen units with a unit of duelists, one for each flank. ;) not bad though.

I was actually thinking of replacing the dualists with a units of 5-6 light cavalry men or some more crossbows, or possible scrapping one of the pikemen to get some ogres or something.

Great List you've got to love pikemen. i'd give the dwarves great weapons, dwarves rarely get the charge and are I2 so striking last really isn't a problem

ogres would be cool for a countercharge unit. you dont need more than one deulest unit if you have the ogres and the dwarfs. they can protect a flanka s good a s any
