Ogre vs Dwarfs (2014)

original thread ↗

It was an interesting game, Unfortunatly i have no video or pictures. I will not go in uber details about the army selections but overall:

2 units of 8 leadbelchers
1 unit of 18 guts
1 unit of 4 mournfang
2 units of 1 sabertusk
2 gorgers
2 ironblasters

Dwarfs
1 canon
1 stone thrower
1 organ gun
1 unit of 10 crossbow shooters
1 unit of 20 irondrakes
2 gyrocopter
And 3 other units of about 30 each

One annoying thing he had was a dispel scroll that destroy my tooth cracker as he didn't worry about trollguts. He had flaming attack from organ gun (rune) and iron drakes to deny regeneration. First turn i destroyed his cannon on turn 1 with ironblaster. In combat, his lord on shield bearers was annoying, toughness 6 and 6 wounds.. In a challenge against my slaughtermaster with fencing blades and glittering scales. I never used crown of command and endded up losing the slaughtermaster. His drakes were effective and when i rolled to charge them, not sure if he rolled for something or if it was a one use, but i got a 2 inches to my charge which he enjoyed the stand and shoot with no minuses.

What had left was 2 ironguts and bsb, full mournfang, 1 full unit of leadbelchers and 1 ironblaster.
Overall, it was interesting and fun. I won because he never killed off all guts and i got rid of some of his units. So expect the dwarfs to be a good match.

Hope this helps
Who will be the next Khan in the Ogre Kingdoms?
Sounds like the Irondrakes had the Banner of Slowness... It does something where it gives a charging unit a penalty to their roll. Kinda crazy, and perfect for an army like Dwarves  :shock:

That Tanklord is definitely a scary looking build; thankfully we have a lot of high Strength attacks that can at least  match its toughness. I've heard reports of all the different kinds of Dwarf lord builds, and they can definitely come in a wide variety.

Good job on the win! New Dwarves sound a lot more fun and competitive ;) Glad that you could beat them back!
33 Gnobs! Over 3 Packs of Trappers! Woot!

New book WLD: 20/10/2 - Yay tourney wins and random game win!

Did the gyrocopters bomb anything? I'm going up against the new dwarfs soon and I'm really worried about those large template, multi-wound bombers!
When they hit they're kinda nasty, but they're unfortunately a little random.  That being said, against everybody's favorite gutstar build (or even bigger gut units) they're more reliable and pack a punch.  However they're meat for belchers.
How did you find the 2 units of Leadbelchers?
