beards ,axes and beer......why....it must be dwarfs

original thread ↗

hi there seeing as im starting dwarfs soon (i am get them about friday-ish)and im sure on the points yet but unluckly i need to buy a codex as well (for some reason the kid im buying them off doesnt have the codex but instead a printout of the rules so im looking at about... £85 for aloud of dwarfs and code

so if you can refer me to any good articles please post them here
and any tactics to use ( other than sit in the corner and shoot  ;) )
when i have a big irongut horde i will start singing "we got deathstar (deathstar) we got deathstar (deathstar)"
try bugmans brewery

hordes of GreatWeapon Warriors(30-40), and Quarrellers with GW's(around 20) seem to be very popular.
the general is typically either a dwarf lord on shieldbearers(tank) or a runepriest(to dispell).

the most common  lists you'll find are:
1 lord(GW, Shieldbearers)
1 RP(GW)
2x40 Warriors w/ GW's(one unit can be taken as Long Beards)
20 Quarreller w/ GW's(can be fielded as Rangers)
30-40 Hammerers
2 GrudgeThrowers
1 Organ Gun

(thunders can also be used in units of 10-12, and the WM's can be Runed up or swapped out for cannons and such, other then that this seems to be the basic structure)

hope this helps
cheers for the tactic

update:i only just found out the buying of dwarfs has been delayed till i get the money together
