I play a magic heavy shooty army, and after consultation with the new dwarf army list I realised my army would get utterly crushed and there'd be no fun for either myself or my opponent so I developed this army to try and have a crack at the new dwarves. I have little knowledge of what I am fighting against, so this is a generic dwarf army.
HEROES
Noble, Heavy Armour, Shield, Lance, Sea Dragon Cloak, Cold One
= 112pts
Noble, Heavy Armour, Sea Dragon Cloak, Crimson Death (in chariot)
= 115pts
CORE
10 Dark Elves, Crossbows
= 110pts
10 Dark Elves, Crossbows
= 110pts
20 Dark Elves, Shields, Full Command
= 185pts
SPECIAL
18 Executioners, Full Command, Warbanner
= 253pts
10 Cold One Knights, Full Command, Standard Of Slaughter
= 370pts
Chariot, Spears
= 97pts
RARE
2 Bolt Throwers
= 200pts
TOTAL; 1552 (gotta get rid of 52 pesky points)
I can't quite work out how to beat the new dwarves yet, I'm aware that this army is quite weak, and am looking for suggestions.
MODELS
What I don't have; Harpies, Witch Elves, Manticore
What I do have; Dark riders, Black Guard (using them as exec's though), Sorcs, Dark Pegasus (could be a noble).
Since it's under 2000pts, I can only have 3 special choices otherwise I'd split the exec's into two smaller units of 10. I can't see dark riders effectiveness against dwarves, possibly at shooting the crap out of slayers. If I multi-shot, long range etc I'll be hitting him on 5's with my crossbows, then toughness 4/5 and dwarf armour saves come into play...it's gonna be tough to hurt him
