Abysal Dwarf Ambush 1000pts

Hi, this is my Abyssal Dwarf army list for Ambush game type. What do you thing about this. Almost every unit in this list except one unit of Immortal Guard can shooting. My tactic is simple, shoot and destroy unists in combat. Imortal guard and Lesseg Golem is a strong hold unit. What do you think?

I can dig it. I like units that do multiple things plus shooting seems particularly good in Ambush. You do have a lot of items going on and just the one inspiring, which got me tinkering. If you gut the list you can make it so everyone shoots and find a second inspiring (who also shoots):

I’d possibly look to get the most out of the golems shooting by having a surge caster in the list - that way you can shamble up, blat them with the magma cannon and then get surged into combat?

Great ,Thanks:)

You mean “surge”?

Could easily drop the mastiffs and grab surge on the Ironcaster (or the diadem but I like to have inspiring individuals that do something besides just inspire)

Or swap out diadem for the tome - i like the mastiffs :wink:

Oh yea, Tome! Good call, don’t need much of a surge, and the Ironcaster doesn’t get a special buff for surging, just fireballing.

And being behind golems really limits what you can shoot at!

My last battle with Nightstalkers didn’t go as planned :slight_smile: I played with Nightstalkers and the unit had Stealt, which made my shooting difficult. Immortal Guard unsets in my opinion are a bit too slow, and I miss some units to take objectives. PLus I don’t have 2 inspirational heroes. I decided to change the roster. What do you think?
