I am planning to start joining the ranks of the beards. I played Tomb King, Bretonnia, and Dark Elves. Sold bretonnia and dark elf, leaving Tomb King as my first and main army. I love to reign in the movement side of the game. I am more of an offensive player rather than a defensive one.
Right now, you might be wondering why i chose dwarfs as my next army. Frankly it is the models that sucked me in. I love dwarf models. After five years of warhammer, I can say that my painting skills has reach to a level that i can proud of. So i would like to paint a nice army with the models i liked. So to satisfy my need of gaming and painting, i want to ask all of you, great beards advices to my initial purchase and possibly future purchases.
So far i got myself the following from a trade :
Anvil of Doom
2 Thane
1 Master Engineer
1 Thane BSB
32 Warriors
16 Quarrelers/Thunderers
20 Miners (gonna convert them to hammerers. Cut the candles and switch great hammer frontage)
1 Grudge Thrower
1 Organ Gun
Im the kind of player who would like to have every unit type rather than doubles (doubles possible when i got everything). So i can have options and get the feel of the army in every different ways. I plan to purchase more models. The question is which models come in priority to close combat dwarfs? Should i buy ironbreakers? slayers? Metal Hammerers as second hammerer unit? Bolt throwers? But i do know that i want gyrocopter. btw, i plan to bring painted dwarfs on february tournament so competitive options is better.
Here is a rough list on my head.
Anvil of Doom, RoStone, RoSpellbreaker
Thane BSB, Strolaz, guarding
ASF Thane of pain / Basic Master Engineer with GW, brace of pistols
15 Thunderers, FC, brace of pistol, shield
10 warriors, shield
22 Longbeards, FC, magic banners (BSB)
20 Hammerers, FC, magic banners (ASF thane if i take him)
1 Grudge Thrower, Accuracy, burning, penetrating, eng with brace of pistols (ME here if i take him)
1 Organ Gun
With possible purchase as the following to complete the 2250 list
List 1
20 Hammerers, FC, magic banners
1 Gyrocopter
List 2
20 Ironbreakers, FC, magic banners
1 Gyrocopter
List 3
15 Slayers
2 Boltthrowers with runes
1 Gyrocopter
List 4 (skull pass purchase)
10 Quarrelers / Thunderers, Sh
20 Full block of warriors added to complete the small warrior unit from the above list
1 Cannon with runes
1 Gyrocopter
Which one from the above additions would prove better in competitive environment? Or you might have better purchase list? Remember that i only have one and a half month to paint. Suggestions is very much appreciated. Thank You.
