Overmaster, hexcaster and a couple more throwing mastiff markers
Great war engines! And impressive progress across the board.
Down to 58 dwarfs and 6 gargoyles to do by 22nd July.
Everything is built, the dwarfs have all had some initial work done and just need to stop being sidetracked!
Group shot of the gargoyles.
34 infantry to go for the tournament army. Will possibly do a quick and simple display board for it as well.
Have another helfane, a slave driver on chariot and some halfbreeds in the unbuilt pile. Do want to add some Grotesques, another couple of boxes of golems and some slaves - but will probably come back to these at a later date while i project hop to something else
They are coming along nicely, @Sceleris bravo.
He** yeah! (or do those Dwarfs say “Abyss yeah!?” ) Awesome looking army @Sceleris !
Finished army and display board.
Went 2-1-2 at event, which I’m pretty happy with given I’d never used the army before.
Didn’t go to Clash in the end last year, but the AD are getting a run out this time round.
Think I’ve got a list in mind, but got the mojo to build more stuff for them anyway!
Skaven Plague Furnace will be another Helfane (slave aura one) - the Chaos warshrine as the the Abomination aura one and my free Clash Titan will be the mantic model as the Inspiring one.
“Dwarfs, you say, old chap! That’ll never catch on! Rommell would have had you shot for such impertinence! I mean, one or two of the stunty beggars, just to be themeatical, of course. Some of my best friends are stunties, but they have the common decency to avoid cluttering together into any formal units. Give the beggars the big guns i say.!”
I’m currently working on dwarfs myself to go with my Free Dwarfs, but mainly for KoW as that’s the only thing i’m getting game time with these days, and little enough of that
Year later than originally planned, but the Abyssal Dwarfs will march to Clash. Now to do a simple display board.
I went 3/3 at Clash - losing to basilea (one of only two players to go 6/0), losing to undead then beating undead day 1; beat EoD, lost to AD then beat AD day two.
My list didn’t quite have enough combat punch, especially if the sharpness golems were negated early (and they were more or less in the games i lost).
Decimator horde obviously clear target for disruption so didn’t quite get the best out of shooting, but hold up well and can fight back with elite item and BC support.
Dragonfire teams plus paired fireball can hurt! They accounted for a decent chunk of my kills - including a reanimated behemoth (even if it did take 3 turns!).
Halfbreed held up Julius for 4 turns, doing enough damage i was able to fireball him off.
Losing the GOG to 11s twice; the decimators being wavered with double 6 two turns in a row; repeatedly missing nerve checks on fearless undead by 1 (or snakes on a wight horde on 16 damage) were some of the low points.
The event ended on a positive note at least, with rear charging a helfane with bane chanted sharpness golems and not rolling snakes!
Second helfane (gw skaven plague furnace) is getting there; some other bits are being prepped.
AD part 2 will have a mantic helfane, lots of halfbreeds, gore riders, berserkers, more Immortals and mastiffs.
