8th Ed. ANY OGRE PLAYERS ON THE FORUM?

I didn't spot flaming banner. It's worse than pointless on Dwarves as they have no Regen units, no war Beasts and no flammable units. They have Firedrakes(? Not sure on name) who get abonus against flaming attacks.

Against Dwarves you should be able to get the charge, which will make a big difference.

Remember that prolonged combat will benefit him, not you (he will have more ranks and higher leadership). So try to double charge units and break them in first turn, rather than charging units one-on-one.

 

Thanks for the pointers, I'll definitely keep them in mind. I'll probably play either tmrw or day after so I'll let you know how it goes. I've so far updated my list so it has 2 less Leadbelchers, my slaughtermaster has replaced his earthing rod for a talisman of endurance and iron curse icon (as i realised that my bruiser has 2 enchanted items) and i added 2 sabretusks and a unit of 10x gnoblars with a musician. every standard bearer has lookout gnoblars

 

Sounds good!

Hopefully what we gave you will help when you play. Take some pic's and do a bat rep when you're done!

 

Will do

 

The banner of flame is very useful in key situations, I.e. against models with regen it basically takes away their biggest strength. I think that is why it is generally included somewhere in an all comers list. I dont think it is necessary against dwarves specifically because I dont think they have much or any regen. I would recommend maybe the banner of swiftness to help ensure a turn 2 charge although m6 almost guarantees the charge with scout or the banner of discipline to help make best use of the stubborn if they get caught in a battle they shouldn't be in. The razor standard could be very helpful against dwarves but your great weapons probably won't benefit from it.
If you have the space in deployment you might consider going 4x1 with the leadbelchers so that a cannon can only take out 1 per shot without a flank and the gyro will have to get extra close to hit all 4 with their flames. Although your list probably has better targets for your opponent to shoot at than your leadbelchers so it might not be that imperative.

 

Thx for that I've decided to switch out the gnoblars musician for the standard of discipline

 

@Cptn Timmy your man-eater idea was the best u deal ever. Maybe he just wasn't prepared but I won before I even finished turn two. I didn't get any pictures tho sorry . The Man-eaters served as a bit of a meat shield for his 1st go as he directed almost all fire at them and killed 2 leaving one on 1 wound. On my go I charged charged the unit of 20 Thunderers and I got ogre charge off so I removed 13 dwarfs even before combat . After that I wiped him out before he even hit me. He did stand and shoot which removed 2 more ogres tho. Then my irom blaster got a VERY nice bounce through the hammerers and straight into the dwarf lord. He didn't have a ward save so took 4 wounds.​

 

After that it was already pretty much over as all he had managed to do was hurt my Man-eaters a bit. On his go his flame cannon misfired and blew up and he didn't do too much else. On my next go I then charged his hammerers and killed 4 with impact then I got THE WORST ROLLS EVER on a challenge against his champ. 5 attempts on a 4+ and didn't hit a single time. He then drew the combat and all he had left was a unit of 12 hammerers + runesmith, a dwarf lord on 1 wound a unit of 30 hammerers and a gyro copter and cannon. Basically vs my whole army. My rhinox and sabre tooth were about to charge into his flanks next go and my cannon hadn't fired yet. We were running out of time and he conceded

 

Unfortunately my slaughter master did nothing as the 1st turn I rolled pretty poorly in an attempted to cast the maw just for kicks and the next go he got dispelled.

 

Still I had a great time and will certainly use those Man-eaters again. Thanks to everyone for the help

 

Good job!

Yup, the Maneaters with Scouts is a pretty dangerous proposition which he has to deal with immediately otherwise you'll get a pretty devastating charge off.

 

I certainly did

 

I meant he had to deal with the maneaters before THEY charged.

You did a great job with your other troops charging!

 

Sounds like a fun game (for you at least)! Any win against the dwarves is a good win lol. Don't worry about the slaughtermaster, he will perform in the next one. Just curious, did your opponents lord fail his look out sir? Or was he on his own outside of a unit? I'm glad though maneaters worked out. I will be using the same unit in my next game. Also, I would love to see pictures of your rhinox rider, I've never seen one in person and hardly here about them being used. How did you find it as a unit?

 

This must be non-8th Edition rules then?

Never heard of a Rhinox Rider and it's not in the army book...

 

It's not in the army book but it was a special model from forge world with experimental rules. Here I'll uploads them. They're obviously experimental so your opponent had to agree but unfortunately he got screwed by deployment. I placed him early on and off the my flank and he placed most of his dwarves in the opposite corner.

 

I don't have a unit of them either . He cost 10% more so I got rid of the gnoblars. And no idk why but his dwarf lord was not in a unit. He must have had plan for it but they got very ruined.

 

As far as I remember they are pretty stacked. They are available to pick on battlescribe. I've never understood how forgeworld works? To my understanding they usually make their models pretty good in the tabletop, but are they not officially in the game or are they?

 

Not officially but the rules are balanced and I wanted to use one.

 

Fair enough.

I'm a bit of a purist, so won't be using these unfortunately. Looks fun though!
