Well, 16 has moved to twenty, and I’ve dropped the champion from the initial group. I may still make him, since the concept I had for him was pretty cool (I think), but as far as the actual game goes, while viable, would be a detriment to the army, I think. So shields and heavy armor for all!
In the meantime, I’ve done some digging and come up with a tentative 2500 point army list, as follows:
- Kerik Silvershield, Dwarf Lord, with Gromril armor and shield
- Kerik will serve as the army’s General
- Contemplating adding an 10 man Ironbreaker unit as a guard, but this will push the points over 2500. May have to prune something else off to allow for it, as I highly doubt Kerik would be one to stay in the background, and being alone would make him vulnerable.
- Handri Grimtome, Runesmith, with Master Rune of Spellbinding and Rune of Warding.
- 1 unit of 20 Dwarf Warriors with Heavy Armor and Shields, Musician, and Standard Bearer
- 1 unit of 20 Dwarf Warriors with Heavy Armor and Shields, Musician, and Standard Bearer
- 1 unit of 20 Dwarf Longbeards with Musician and Standard Bearer
- 1 unit of 20 Dwarf Miners with Musician, Standard Bearer, and Champion
- Planning on adding a Steam Drill but this was not listed in the book I have
- 1 unit of 10 Dwarf Thunderers with Musician and Standard Bearer
- 1 unit of 10 Dwarf Quarrelers with Ranger Upgrade, Shields, Musician, Standard Bearer
- 1 unit of 20 Ironbreakers with Musician, Standard Bearer, led by Thane Daengar Stonehammer with Gromril Armor and Shield
- Grudge Thrower
- Cannon, led by Engineer Rukar Stonefist, with a Rune of Reloading
- Organ Gun
- Gyrocopter
Unfortunately the army book I’m using is outdated, so point values and units will have to be tweaked once I get the updated book, but fortunately birthday money will help with that.
I’d also considered adding Brexar Handrisson as a Dragonslayer, but for two things. First, given the point value of the army, I can’t have more than 4 characters in the army, so it ended up being a choice between the Runesmith and the Dragonslayer, and the utility the Runesmith provides won out. Secondly, Brexar, being a Slayer isn’t likely to stick around once Kerik settles in at his new post, and will probably strike out with Arvelen.
