TOW TOW Army Lists

I agree with pretty much all of this, though I'd trade the Skink Skirmishers out for more Saurus, Saurus are good for holding and grinding down weak horde units like Skeletons and Zombies so they don't bog down your other more powerful units.

Skinks on the other hand can just be magic-ed to death by the Vampire player's casters and will do nothing to stop his Zombies and Skeletons from trying to engage your Carnosaurs and Bastiladons to prevent them taking down the Terrorgheists. I'm in firm disagreement with the idea that Skink Skirmishers are supposedly a solution for everything as so many people here say.

 

The following list is an exercise in thematic list building based on some recent purchases of mine as well as my own extensive collection. Whether the list was/is competitively effective was/is of lesser concern than the narrative theme I was going for. The idea is a Chaos Dwarf garrison of a minor trade hold located on the outskirts of Uzkulak. To reflect the narrative, it includes mercenaries. Also, for simplicity's sake and to reflect part of the narrative, I have been sparse with magic items.

No Infernal Guard with hand weapons and shields? Because you've only got one really serious melee unit there in the form of the Black Orcs.

 

I don't have any minis to represent that. And honestly, I favor fireglaives and shields over hand weapons, as I like the flexibility that loadout gives. Also, I contemplated including some allied WOC for additional combat units but didn't have the points.

 

After thinking on it a bit, I came up with a new version of the list. I lumped the 2 units of IG with blunderbusses into one, added shields and full command. I dropped a couple hobgoblins and changed magic items. IG will work as a second melee unit as well as a ranged.
