The second one looks solid man. But I don't know the Dwarf book to well so I can't tell you if you need to put this instead of that and so on. One Love

I like the second list better if I was playing either list.
First list Why the Master engineer for organ gun? It will only make gun hard cover and not give any extra benefits from using a MS Eng. If you had him on the second list I can understand that. If I was playing that list it would be hard to win. In shooting phase only organ gun and thunders so organ hope for 10 hits and thunders have 5-10 shoots. Hope you get good hits and close combat is going to be tough. Does Longbeards have shields? Its going to hurt if you get into big close combat units like chaos and greenskins. You might survive but it will be close on a few combats.
Second list. Good shooting phase to help kill units before close combat and have strong close combat units to hurt them. A close friend of mine once told me "When creating a unit make sure you have a plan for the unit. I don't have full commands on my shooting units because its a waste of points for units that should get into close combat." I tend to use that idea when making my armies. I don't use commands in my shooting units expect if the champion upgrade has a +1 bs. The only problem with this list is no protection in magic phase. You get 4 dipel dice good for non-magic oriented armies. But armies with a lot of magic you might get hurt a bit. Even if you don't want a runesmith. Get a magic standard that gives a unit +1 Magic reistance on the unit. 1 extra dispel dice to protect with. I like thunders better then Quarrellers but they are cheaper. If I was make a list close to this I would split the quarrellers in to to teams of 10 no command so I could get the most of my shots. Hopefully get a hill so you would get 1 extra rank plus high ground. If not 10 across and protecting flanks. _________________ Armies I own

Nice! Ironbreakers will have a +2 dispel dice. I usally don't use the immune to fear & terror. I go for double unit str beacause dwarves have high LD and if you fear a unit you most likely are going to out number them so no break test for fearing them. Also it gives you a plus one combat resolution. Always nice to have. Bolt thowers I always take the rune of Penetration which gives the thowerer +1 str making it a chariot killer and also makes the first to ranks needed to wound on a 2 plus. _________________ Armies I own

Then why don't i give the bolt thrower that upgrade and give the ironbreakers the rune of battle which auto gives the +1 combat res? _________________ If this was easy, then every one would do it!

Does the oath stone really give magic resis? I thought it was used just during combat to give no flanks and such

If you read the Oath Stones above the stone effects it says "The presence of the stone with the unit confers a Magic Resistance (1) as its runes act to absorb wild magic." _________________ Armies I own

Ok, Steven I was wondering for myself if magic resistance dice was for one magic phase or for each spell cast to the unit. So for oath stone and banner I said it would give you +2 dice I was wondering if you get +2 dice for magic phase or +2 dice for each spell cast on unit. On page 95 in rule book it has magic resistance and here is what it says," the number in brackets indicates the maximum number of extra dice that may be rolled when trying to dispel each spell that affects the resistant model."
"Magic resistance is never cumulative, so if a magic resistance character joins a magic resistance unit you take the best available never add the different magic resistance."
So oath stone and magic banner will still only give you +1. So I would change banner to +1 combat or something else that might help. _________________ Armies I own
