Two words. Blasted Standard. However if you don't use any Tzeentch, fast moving, high armored or just cheap stuff that can take a warmachine crew, then back up with infantry. |

Slaanesh is good, especially against warmachines. Metal is also a good choice against Dwarfs. If you run the Slaanesh DP you'll need something else to draw fire. Maybe a Shaggoth or crushers nearby to work in concert? Maybe run more warhounds? You can screen your crushers and/or knights from the shooting and then charge on turn 2/3. Solo (or slingshotted) exalted on crusher can also work. Give him re-rolls for armour saves and a ward save and he'll soak up crossbow fire without too many problems and even make it through organ gun fire. |

Multiple threats are where it's at. Small units, lots of targets. DP, Chimera, dogs,Skull Crushers, trolls, horsemen, dogs, chariots, gorebeasts, dogs, knights, hellstriders, dogs.... oh remember some dogs.... saturate the field with targets. Hide your dp behind Chimera or trolls to catch the cannonballs. Wait till the perfect time to bubble choir (assuming you have the spell and dice that is). When i use Chaos Dwarfs, my mates WoC army is filled with Tzeentch troops, even tzeentch marauders and ogres, DP and 2 shaggoths. It was a very good tactic. Lets just say my shooting phase with the CD's is much worse than the regular dwarfs but he was able to swamp me fast. He also used Wulfric with 40 marauders that poped up next to my warmachines. Mind you my glittering robes buffed crew held them at bay for a few turns ;) Edited by Vantraxx, Jul 25 2014, 12:05 PM.

That's the point. He's shooting dogs rather than other stuff. On the same note i never vanguard dogs. They can march 14" turn 1. They can't charge if they vanguard so you are just giving them points. Better to position them where they need to be turn 1. If you are more cautious with them they can work like pawns in chess. |

Vantraxx has it - target saturation. Things that can hold for a while in combat, too- chariots are great to use as flankers, but most dwarfs are stubborn or steadfast, so you won't route them easily on the charge. Tz is the definitive counter to dwarfs. Against the shooting, Tz with Blasted standard for sure. Running a 3+ sorc lord (death) on disc with Third Eye seems like a great idea too. Ward saves are your friend as cannons, OG with or without RoPen, etc will wreck you. If you go nurgle caster/s, take death, or with slaanesh take slaanesh. In terms of killing potential, Gyros are only a real pain for hounds and marauders, but they excel at redirecting and double-flee so be wary of this, especially if you have frenzy (and even more so if you're near a table edge). BSB on monstrous mount is worth considering for the extended bubble on frenzy and panic, but make sure he has a ward save and/or charmed shield. Speaking of panic, slaanesh is good, but only if you have the bodies to soak up the damage. If he has 5-man ranger squads, you won't get vanguard off, and the rangers or an ME will easily seal with your hounds if you run them at 5. I'd say go a unit of 10. If you know he runs rangers as vanguard blockers then don't pay for vanguard. Hellcannons are tough nuts to crack and can help provide more targets for cannons, with a reasonable chance at surviving Dwarf players tell stories around the campfire about shooting DPs with cannons. Just saying. |

Oh... :) I'm a dwarf player which is why I felt qualified to comment :) I'm new to WoC. I've read through the book several times, and based on similarities with DoC and some other armies, I can see what I don't want to face :) but I'm not 100% down with this AB yet. That said, do Monstrous Beasts not count? |

Do you mean 20 marauders? He should not have been shooting the chariots with his organ guns. The crushers should be prime targets, then the knights, then marauders. Cannons should hit the chariots. Gyros against hounds, marauders and flank charge chariots... If he didn't have stubborn then it is more important to kill the chariots, but he should have had stubborn... Congrats on the crushing victory though :) |

OOOoooh, you meant it that way. Ok. Thought you meant a monster, which is reserved for Lords only. Monstrous Beasts are totally fine with the BSB. My bad. [Edit] @20 knights: Wow! Edited by Jofarin, Jul 27 2014, 05:53 AM.
