They're charge isn't going to be that amazing even with an extra D6, and an extra D3 doesn't make much difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarouan Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) I'd say it's more simple to give them a version of Countercharge special rule allowing them to use it against monsters, monstruous infantry and monstruous cavalry specifically. I guess adding Swifstrike may help them to charge further, but to be honest, I'm not convinced giving an additionnal D6 will really make them better. Dwarves aren't designed to charge in TOW, they're designed to hold the line. That's what Slayers do : they're not really meant to kill, actually, they're meant to fight to the last.

Beliman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 What do you think about the rule Drill for a Karak Kadrin army of infamy? Being an army, I suppose they are more trained that basic Slayers that roam the forests and mountains of the Old World. I don't know if it will help but pairing something like Look Snorri, Troll! with marching column, could be a good, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarouan Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I don't know, Drill is a powerful special rule and giving it to the whole army sounds a bit too much. Would that help ? Grimnir yes ! But not especially for marching columns...with dwarves, the difference between marching 9'' and marching 6'' sounds still a bit underwhelming and won't really help them charging more IMHO.

Beliman Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 For anyone interested (mainly dwarf players), I had the opportunity to travel to Warhammer World this past weekend and there was 3 exclusive dwarf models!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerekKruger Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Are those in plastic @Beliman? If so I'd be tempted to grab some of them when I'm next in (which won't be for two weeks, so I might miss out). I did order 3 White Dwarfs 😄. One will be the White Dwarf, one will be a Dwarf Character conversion, the last week either be a second dwarf character (perhaps on shield bearers), or I might try to give the White Dwarf his Rune Helm of Zhufbar. We'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting F5 repeatedly from 9:45 onwards is not good for my nerves 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Question A character can only buy one magic ítem from each category (weapons, armour, etc...). Runic weapons are magic ítems but they are inscribes instead of purchased. Can we inscribe runes in a Hand Weapon and a Great weapon in the same model?

Runic weapons are magic ítems but they are inscribes instead of purchased. Can we inscribe runes in a Hand Weapon and a Great weapon in the same model? I'd say probably not. The rules fur running items state that "It is also important to remember that a runic item is no different in principle to any other magic item, and that all of the usual rules for magic items apply to runic items as well." And who's I agree there's perhaps some ambiguity in what you're purchasing (Runic Weapons, it times to add to your weapons) I feel like the intent is definitely that you should only be allowed one Runic item of each type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runic weapons are magic ítems but they are inscribes instead of purchased. Can we inscribe runes in a Hand Weapon and a Great weapon in the same model? Interesting question. I'd say there's a possibility, at least the text in Weapon Rules seem to imply it is possible. At the very least, you have to follow the Rule of 3 and you can't have more than 3 Weapon Runes overall on one character. Should be good to ask GW just to be sure. It is also possible in certain situation to have multiple magic weapons on one character too, as the core rules indicate (granted, it's mostly common magic weapons). The contentious point is indeed that sentence mentionned by JerethKruger, but I think it makes reference to the specific rules for each category of magic item page 339 and further, not the ones page 337 : because Runic Items use different ones as described in their army list for choosing and buying magic items.

Tonhel Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) I recently subscribed to https://www.patreon.com/durginpaintforge/posts. I was looking for suitable dwarf stls and stumbled on this one. I really like the Highland Miniatures ones, but these give me a fuzzy feeling 😄 Edited May 18 by Tonhel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonhel Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Yeah, with the rumoured delay of AoS 4th and this way to late release of DB 6 something is messed up (again) with GW logistics.. . I fear that TOW will suffer even more as AoS 4th edition is the big release of the year. I am hoping that Dwarfs will be still in may/june, but I fear that it will be after july 😞. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this week was our last, best how for a pre-AoS 4th release. It's not impossible that we'll be which in before in the next week or two /especially if AoS 4th is delayed) but I'm not counting on it.

Beliman Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) found a blog about Slayers that I just want to share, thanks Mr. Eric for this good read: https://medium.com/@eric.seri/dwarf-slayers-warhammer-unit-chronicles-ba67904bec2a Note: even if it's really interesting, the writer is full of nostalgia and sugar for oldhammer and pre-AoS stuff. Take care. Edited June 10 by Beliman 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarouan Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 While waiting for the official release of dwarves (and the arcane journal with new army lists, new runes and new units ), I have received my first part of my custom dwarf army. They're printed models from Highland Miniatures (Sons of Ymir) and are a theme of nordic dwarves. They're painted by the great team of Raging Palette in Belgium. Hope the picture will be inspiring in these dark times of GW silence on TOW. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A useable one, not one in fancy dress. Just so excited to see Dwarfs return. Also looking forward to seeing what classics will come along with the release too! This comment aged well. I think the new grombrimdal might be my favorite dwarf mini of all time. And with the extra bits around the rock removed, fits perfectly on a 25mm square. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
