For an explanation of the 27" Richy Yeet btw: Dwarfs have a 3" move normally and marching column triples your movement, plus the Rune of haste and urgency from the anvil lets them move again, once more at triple their movement characteristic (because marching column). The vanguard move from Strollaz' Rune is a 3" move at the start of the game. Bugman's cart gives "During the Command sub-phase of their turn, any Dwarf unit that is not fleeing or engaged in combat and that is within 6" of a friendly Bugman's Cart (that is itself not fleeing or engaged) gains a +1 modifier to its Movement characteristic until the end of the turn." so in total: 3" vanguard move before game starts. In command sub phase - Bugman's cart adds +1 inch movement until end of turn if they are within 6" of it 12" move in marching column. 12" move from the anvil casting Rune of Haste & Urgency. 27" total move :)
Love this channel! Dawi have been my Lore and book favorite faction forever! Back in the day, I couldn't afford a full army of dwarfs. Now with 3D printing, I have amassed a HUGE army, themed scenery, custom dice, and a mountain tapestry to hang behind the gaming table... And haven’t played a game with them yet. I've been running with my previous Tilean-themed ogre army while training up my buddies. I like to think that my Dwarfs are drinking ale and sharpening axes... ruminating over past wrongs. They'll be on the field soon enough....🤨
Ive got a game scheduled for my dwarfes next week at my LGC. My 5th game of TOW overall. Dont get a chance to play much because of "life" but ive really taken to TOW and dwarfs in particular. Love these videos and hearing about dwarfs and really appreicate the tips. Love the more chilled out vibe.
On Sunday I floated the idea of starting TOW with my regular opp and you got me converting old minis I had into shieldbearers (belegar standing on balin's tomb) and i ordered 100 25mm bases to rebate all my skull pass dwarfs. Richy you got your dwarf claws in me and I might take the plunge!
I believe Hammerers can be a very useful Deathstar when Rangers take up Core, similar to your list in filling the Longbeards role, true they don't get S7 but they have Initiative 3 on the grind which lets you hit before O&G & lots of Undead units & atleast at the same time as humans on the grind. They also get to protect your characters against scary challenges & still winning combat res thx to the stacks of static combat res in the build :) I will try & we'll see how they perform Great video & very informative of your reasoning which are solid good points!
Great analysis ! Thank you for it. Up until 9th age I always played hammerers over iron breakers but with TOW I started to play IB over Hammerers systematically. Irondrakes are so good with troll hammer torpedo and cinder blast bombs ! They always perform very well in my games 👍
@Dawiafterdark that is a fair point. I agree with you about them being core. Thanks for the the videos, as I'm new to old world it's good to get some help how to use the dwafs.
Thanks for your new video. I agree with your opinion. Clan warriors are also good at dealing things out. I think it's a shame about the iron breakers because they are my favorite models. I'll try out a list of departments soon. This could greatly improve their damage output and win over combat results.
I regularly play Dwarfs against a friend who has a Warriors of Chaos army and my main problem is that except for 1 unit, his entire list has swiftstride. Depending on who goes first, i only get 1 or maybe 2 rounds of shooting (at long range) before he's into me, and I'm finding it very difficult to win combats. He typically picks the combats due to his speed and my slowness, and that first turn against lances or flails often means most of my fighting rank is dead and can't even swing back.
@@JohnZastrow right mate so take two units of irondrakes on the front line , take master rune of hesitation on a tanky bsb in a combat unit behind them . They you get your stand and shoots from the drakes , kill some knights then the drakes pop stubborn through the combat unit . Then issue challenges with your heros in the units behind
@@Dawiafterdark gonna try it, thanks. I think I've been deploying poorly because I haven't set up the irondrakes directly in front of my infantry blocks like that. And Maybe I'll knock a few models out of my blocks to free up Rune points on the standards. seems to be the way to go
Awesome Video Richy! I absolutely love the gyro! They are SO Infuriating for the enemy !! :) GG man. Also agree on the 2 x 10 Irondrakes units with Torps... so kinda like two cannons in your army :) Can you elaborate on the "Pop your stubborn on the Irondrakes and pop through?" If you fall back on one of your own units you pop out the back?
@@noobiesnacks1636 they can win you a game just out of pure annoyance which is great hahah , I love the two units I’m trying to make one work atm but I miss you two torpedos and grenades
Yo so you have the units an inch apart of you use stubborn you fallback through the unit behind , thus saving the points and the unit would follow up into the unit behind :)
Fire & Flee does not make you FBIGO(unless it was FAQ’d somewhere) you still have to rally in your turn. Still a great tactics though. I haven’t had much luck using it with Pistoliers as it’s bitten me in the ass a couple times 😂. Great video and very helpful, I’ve been trying to help some Dwarf players in my gaming group and since I don’t play Dwarfs this video has a ton of value, thank you very much.
Hey mate yeah you do have to rally after I always say bloody fibgo because you only use one dice for the flee 🤣🤣 no problem at all there’s a few vids on here that might be able to help them :)
Thanks for the detailed video! You say great things about both Warriors and Longbeards, but what about Royal Clan Warriors? Do they replace Longbeards as Core for the Royal Clans? Would you use RC Warriors with shields as anchors and Longbeards with great weapons as damage dealers? Thanks for your help!
So the reason I prefer normal warriors in a normal army and Longbeards in a royal clans army is the utility as you can swap and change weopons as needed , and also when getting shot at they have sheilds is the main reason or I do prefer the ap3 axes !
Nice rundown & from someone I know has played the army enough to probably be right :) Hope to go back to my 8th ed days of watching a lot of games then showing up at a tournament once a year and getting a top 3... then not playing again til the year after & repeat :) I've got a sweet(? Or maybe terrible) list I'm building that no one else seems to have run (at least no one on youtube or on bugmansbrewery). I like to only run lead/metal gw dwarves though so I'm about £450 of ebay purchases (that will post to NZ) away from completing the list haha. I could probably save £300 by going for some resin... I think I just talked myself around...
I have played an ungodly amount of games now but still loving it to be honest which is great , I do love the dwarfs ! Ohhh amazing what’s the list ? I hope you do amazing when you get to your first tow event ! I think resin is definitely worth it if you can get the right stls !
So wood elves are always a really hard game for us , and you have to be hyper agressive so I would yeet and get as close as possible to them as they don’t play fair gaha
Thanks for the video. I love the dwarves and as a new player it is really helpful to figure out how to make them work. @15:10 you mentioned that when the gyro's Fire & Flee they would Fall back in good order. I had thought that they would be fleeing and would not automatically rally so you would need to rally them next turn or they could continue fleeing. Did I miss something? Thanks again
@@Steve-bc5vf no problem at all ! Sorry I always say that with fire and flee thanks for picking it up it’s because you only move back one d6 rather than a normal flee so my brain just goes fbigo 🤣 but yes you do have to rally after but that shouldn’t be a problem with the dawi leadership !
@@DawiafterdarkWell..in today's 1.750pts game the LD test if the gyro was an issue. Didn't work as planned. Nevertheless I beat the Dark Elves 1.594 vs. 370 🫣. Thanks for your vids 👍🏻.

Great video as always! I have a doubt regarding ironbreakers. The main reason for not using them is that they can't deal enough damage, but you also say that dwarf units are mostly delivery elements for your heroes. So, in that context, wouldn't it make sense to place a killy hero in a unit of ironbreakers so you have the best of both worlds? I guess it's just a matter of priorities but my impression is that they could be pretty good competitively. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
For me with them it’s what do you do with your core points as you can’t spread the heros out too thin into those units , breakers are an amazing unit , but they take points away from stuff we need to compete annoyingly and then leave your core vulnerable , that’s just my thoughts
I like your videos this is a very random question but could you do a deep dive video of using dwarf rangers unit. How to keep their formation, how to use different loadouts with pros and cons. Strategies on deploying the unit etc as a new dwarf player using them as skirmishers gives me a bit of headache but I understand they are a really strong core choice not to be underestimated :)
@@HZ5SW thank you :) I can definitely do that :) a super quick thing to say now is that you keep them in scout to give yourself less drops , I would normally have them in open order in a line so they can all shoot and all fight if they get charged , I would give them sheilds , I’d only give big units of them great Weopons , the only time I’d have them in skirmish is blocking off woods from the green knight :) skirmish is damgerous for us after the faq so I prefer open order :)
@@Dawiafterdark hey appreciate your tips here! Im quite a new player and don't yet know what is treated common knowledge on the topic. I thought skirmish is good as you get shot with -1 so a really helpful insight :)
@ it’s good but because we have such short legs it’s dangerous for us to be in skirmish and also with t4 and sheilds it’s hard for shooters to pick them off unless your against hi str shooting
Great video, my personal favourites are rangers. I put a runesmith and BSB with rune of hesitation in it. It worked really well, because people want to get rid of the rangers … but I might over committed xD. Did I get this right: If my unit of irondrakes falls back and runs into the unit behind it, it just pops out on the other side?! Don’t even need to make a leadership test? That’s neat.
@@wilhelmthonwicklund1544 I think if your gunna do it you go big and commit , 25 minimum , bab in there runesmith in there and yeet it up the board with the pony cart and anvil buffing it
Good Video! What do you think of Royal Clan Warriors? This video was a bit soft, felt softer than your usual content. Keep making videos, really enjoying your stuff!
@@vincemattana I really don’t like them man , the fact you can’t change weapons means that are stuck in one roll , I think longbeards always win for core points in royal clans imo , haha what do you mean by soft mate ? 🤣 haha cheers mate I won’t be stopping any time soon :)
on the subject of rune of courage from what my group interpret the oathstone is 15 pts and dose the same thing as the rune of of courage as rules as written means you cant choose to flee as a reaction and the terror test says the unit that fails the test must choose to flee as a reaction which cancels each other out?
So this is a bit of a weird rules interaction but unfortunately a terror test would force you to flee if you failed it , and oathstone also doesn’t negate fear so I definitely think rune of courage is worth it :)
Great channel and great content for dawi beginners like me :) I was wondering what advice you would suggest against sylvan elves? Specially versus harassing msu lists, who outrange us with their longbows…
Thank you ! Honestly they are a hard game for us , you need to be hyper aggressive , fireball thane is really good too with a crossbow works the best against elves ! Scouting a larger unit of rangers works too hyper agressively
Thanks ! I have two other questions 😅 Why a Thane for the « fireball » instead of an engineer ? 75 pts of magic item vs 50, but the engineer has CT5 (so rune of Accuracy less needed). The engineer is also cheaper and can buff a war machine for instance. Regarding the combo Anvil + marching column + drilled, for getting 18 inch move (or more with the cart!): how do you deal with the fact that if you get charged the next turn, in marching column you lose the rank bonus ? Is there something I missed here ? Thanks a lot :)
@@vincentbonnivard1214 right so the reason for run of accuracy is to shoot at things that stack minus to hit , if your playing against armies with skirmish and other rules with minus to hit suddenly your engineer is hitting on 5s , so that’s worth the extra 25 points imo , and you want to plonk your unit in front of something that either isn’t going to charge you or if it does it won’t do too much damage , like writhing 3 inch’s of a chariot don’t doesn’t get impacts or in front of a hero that wants to charge you so your lord can challenge them out and archers then start killing stuff
@@Dawiafterdarksorry I meant, How many champions can we create with torpedos from iron drakes / breaker box? A 4+1 torpedo champion is an annoying attack target, mobile, and can be moved to areas where there is no action for the opponent.
Interesting that you didn't rate Longbeards very high when you did the Heavy Infantry teir list with Close Order but now you love them. Has something changed your opinion or was there another reason?
So ed said I had to be objective in the ratings video , thinking about when you have to be taken in special rather than core and unbuffed, but these in royal clans buffed up with banners and a good hero in are amazing !
@Dawiafterdark hmm, I swear in the early part of the video, he said, rate them in the best way they can be taken. That may have been in one of the other teir videos he did, though. I agree though, longbeards in core are great, maybe a little expensive, but still great.
@@Xanatosaus hahaha potentially but behind the scenes I had to be objective or I would have put a lot more dwarf stuff higher 🤣🤣 I think in core with the plus one str in the flow up and charge they are a much better choice than the rc warriors , I do still rate the normal warriors some of the best infantry in the game mind point for point
Hi mate, Thanks for your videos. I wanted to get some Highlands Miniatures dwarfs printed, but don't know what scale works best with alongside the GW minis. Do you get yours printed at 28mm or 32mm?
@@someoneextant so I got mine printed to 32 they are bigger than gw but look a hell of alot better ! Do you have a printer ? Also have you looked at white angel minis they look amazing too
It’s the back row being obscured which is annoying with that , and making sure your 6 inch’s away from each end just incase they just disappear if they are charged haha
@@Dawiafterdarkthe back row can shoot fine as you have tiny gaps between the front row, and each row is half a base size offset. Also with the getting into combat when charged, if 3" gets them to behind the fighting rank are they safe?
So unfortunately as the rules are at the moment the second row is obscured so minus one to hit , but I heard on the grape vine that might be changing :) it’s 6 inches luckily as they can travel double move to snap in :)
@@Dawiafterdarkah the front row give the enemy cover from the second, lol I hadn't considered that. Where does the double move come from? I can't see reference to that, cheers
Love the Channel! Does the Engineering Master Rune of Slaying do D3 wounds to anything or just to behemoths? I thought it may be another way (on a shooty thane) to try and hurt monstrous infantry/dragons. Thanks!
I recently got into old world and got my butt kicked quite a bit playing the Dawi which killed my motivation a bit. I felt part of it was our gunlines weren't as strong or everyone would just avoid getting into combat and drop me down with magic and deny the anvil of its buff. I really like the faction, but I find the lack of movement really punishing, do you have any recommendations to kind of get me back into the dawi game?
Have you tried yeeting your units ? So stollas runes on the banners to get a 3 inch vangaurd on them before the game starts , then have them drilled so they can pop into marching collum then you can move three times a turn in marching collum , if you have a cart within 6 inch’s one unit can move 27inchs turn on and another could be up next to it on turn two if you get the double move spells off , it’s a gamble but we can be really speedy
Giving irondrakes the vangaurd banner catches people out aswell because you can get in range turn one if they deploy on the line :) as you can move and shoot with no penalty , if you put burlock in the irondrakes they don’t suffer long range penalties either
@@Imperialguardftw it’s a trick that really catchs people out especially if your drilled and don’t start in marching collum , then switch into it in your turn
Ritchy what do you think of this strat to protect your bsb, and would it even work? You have a big unit with drilled and deploy it 5 wide, then put a King on shieldbearers in it, then put a bsb on foot in it and I believe they would have to be placed in the 2nd rank as there's no room for them in the front as he can't displace a command model, but you'll still get access to all his abilities. Then when you use drilled to redress you can go into a wider formation but elect not to move the bsb from the 2nd rank, making him untouchable.
So the only problem is as soon as your in combat you lose all the abilities he gives if your not in the front rank , how are you kitting your bsb out as you can make them ridiculously tanky , it definitely works untill you get into combat mind .
@@Dawiafterdark I could defo be wrong here but I think you only lose your abilities when you retire from declining a challenge, unless there's somewhere that says you have to be in the fighting rank to benefit from abilities. It's one of those that's bending the rules to the extreme but us dwarf players need all the help we can get!
@@MirelurkCakes so I’ve been involved in a discussion at an event about this , and it got ruled that as soon as you hit combat you cease to influence to fight but I will do some digging and see if you’ve just come up with a super play ! Let’s hope you have , by grimnir that would make runesmith bsbs viable
@@Dawiafterdark Bretonnia handmaidens have a similar rule where they can move out of the fighting rank and still confer all their benefits which might be an arguement for as well.
@@Dawiafterdark could they be used solely as a “reserve”. As in leave them behind a line at the back and move in when the line gets charged? That sounds kinda lame… I’m just obsessed with them taking on a DE dragon haha The imagery alone…

Hi it’s called marching collum , if your unit is longer than it is wide your in marching collum and you can move three times :) and then if you strike the anvil you can do it again :) so move 6 times in one turn
They have a 3" move normally and marching column triples your movement, plus the Rune of haste and urgency from the anvil lets them move again, once more at triple their movement characteristic (because marching column). The vanguard move from Strollaz' Rune is a 3" move at the start of the game. Bugman's cart gives "During the Command sub-phase of their turn, any Dwarf unit that is not fleeing or engaged in combat and that is within 6" of a friendly Bugman's Cart (that is itself not fleeing or engaged) gains a +1 modifier to its Movement characteristic until the end of the turn." so in total: 3" vanguard move before game starts. In command sub phase - Bugman's cart adds +1 inch movement until end of turn if they are within 6" of it 12" move in marching column. 12" move from the anvil casting Rune of Haste & Urgency. 27" total move :)
PS I do have one suggestion....You need to say " Thats absolutely Crazy at least once per post" :) Ty :) Dont think you said it once in the last few videos :(
Every unit can the the stromni redbread rune the comand rangw would be the leadership so still 9 In grand army only the hammeres can take it but in the royal clan every unit can the it Dont thinks its a bad pick if you want 2 or 3 big bricks with big combat res

Still collecting/painting my models but I’ve been furiously wearing out old world builder trying to find a list that can withstand T6 monsters and heroes. Best way for dwarves is combat res imo. Thank you though because I thought dwarves were unplayable at first but they are always #1 in my heart😂
Haha they definitely not unplayable , I’ve managed to get some really great results with them , it’s just every game is a hard nail biting game which I like , you need your tanky heros to challenge lock the monsters then combat res them out
4:05 - 21" but who's counting *cough* this miscalculation goes into the book *cough* That leaves them (in most setups) 3" away from enemy - just enough for impacts to work ;)
@@Dawiafterdark I played my first game with my dwarfs against goblins last friday and I took my king on shieldbearers with the rune of swiftness and the rune of smiting. Did pretty well, too bad my quarrelers either ran away or barely did anything.

Rune of confusion if you have a deamonslayer or king in the unit (with a handweapon or greatweapon + master rune of swiftness) works good too

I love ironbrakers, I put a killy king or thane in with them have won everything they have come up against so far.
@@joshuabloor287 don’t get me wrong I love them , I just wish they were core I’d even be happy if they were more expensive but in core
I once had a block of 25 of them in a 5 game tournament buffing them with the anwil and they survived every game only loosing 9 models at the most😂😂
@Dawiafterdark that is a fair point. I agree with you about them being core. Thanks for the the videos, as I'm new to old world it's good to get some help how to use the dwafs.
Thanks for your new video. I agree with your opinion. Clan warriors are also good at dealing things out. I think it's a shame about the iron breakers because they are my favorite models.

You’d need to pass a panic check on the unit but with high ld you should be fine
@@Dawiafterdark Oh ofc ! That is Brilliant. And the Unit behind = the beefy brick angry Great Weapon wielding Stunties! Love it
Fire & Flee does not make you FBIGO(unless it was FAQ’d somewhere) you still have to rally in your turn. Still a great tactics though. I haven’t had much luck using it with Pistoliers as it’s bitten me in the ass a couple times 😂. Great video and very helpful, I’ve been trying to help some Dwarf players in my gaming group and since I don’t play Dwarfs this video has a ton of value, thank you very much.
Hey mate yeah you do have to rally after I always say bloody fibgo because you only use one dice for the flee 🤣🤣 no problem at all there’s a few vids on here that might be able to help them :)
@@Dawiafterdark I gave him your channel info, your videos are amazing. THank you for your content!
@@anthonyparente7858 no problem at all :) and thank you very much !!
Thanks for the detailed video! You say great things about both Warriors and Longbeards, but what about Royal Clan Warriors? Do they replace Longbeards as Core for the Royal Clans? Would you use RC Warriors with shields as anchors and Longbeards with great weapons as damage dealers? Thanks for your help!
So the reason I prefer normal warriors in a normal army and Longbeards in a royal clans army is the utility as you can swap and change weopons as needed , and also when getting shot at they have sheilds is the main reason or I do prefer the ap3 axes !
Love your videos Rich.
@@JamesRutherford-c7x thanks so much mate !!
Really glad you like them mate :)
Nice rundown & from someone I know has played the army enough to probably be right :)
Hope to go back to my 8th ed days of watching a lot of games then showing up at a tournament once a year and getting a top 3... then not playing again til the year after & repeat :)
I've got a sweet(? Or maybe terrible) list I'm building that no one else seems to have run (at least no one on youtube or on bugmansbrewery).
I like to only run lead/metal gw dwarves though so I'm about £450 of ebay purchases (that will post to NZ) away from completing the list haha. I could probably save £300 by going for some resin... I think I just talked myself around...
I have played an ungodly amount of games now but still loving it to be honest which is great , I do love the dwarfs ! Ohhh amazing what’s the list ? I hope you do amazing when you get to your first tow event ! I think resin is definitely worth it if you can get the right stls !
4:20 how aboit wood elfs? Or thay will just run away to the side?
So wood elves are always a really hard game for us , and you have to be hyper agressive so I would yeet and get as close as possible to them as they don’t play fair gaha
Such great videos
Thank you so much !
Thanks for the video. I love the dwarves and as a new player it is really helpful to figure out how to make them work. @15:10 you mentioned that when the gyro's Fire & Flee they would Fall back in good order. I had thought that they would be fleeing and would not automatically rally so you would need to rally them next turn or they could continue fleeing. Did I miss something? Thanks again
@@Steve-bc5vf no problem at all ! Sorry I always say that with fire and flee thanks for picking it up it’s because you only move back one d6 rather than a normal flee so my brain just goes fbigo 🤣 but yes you do have to rally after but that shouldn’t be a problem with the dawi leadership !
@@DawiafterdarkWell..in today's 1.750pts game the LD test if the gyro was an issue. Didn't work as planned.
Nevertheless I beat the Dark Elves 1.594 vs. 370 🫣.
Thanks for your vids 👍🏻.
Great video as always!
I have a doubt regarding ironbreakers. The main reason for not using them is that they can't deal enough damage, but you also say that dwarf units are mostly delivery elements for your heroes.
So, in that context, wouldn't it make sense to place a killy hero in a unit of ironbreakers so you have the best of both worlds?
I guess it's just a matter of priorities but my impression is that they could be pretty good competitively.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
For me with them it’s what do you do with your core points as you can’t spread the heros out too thin into those units , breakers are an amazing unit , but they take points away from stuff we need to compete annoyingly and then leave your core vulnerable , that’s just my thoughts
I like your videos this is a very random question but could you do a deep dive video of using dwarf rangers unit. How to keep their formation, how to use different loadouts with pros and cons. Strategies on deploying the unit etc as a new dwarf player using them as skirmishers gives me a bit of headache but I understand they are a really strong core choice not to be underestimated :)
@@HZ5SW thank you :) I can definitely do that :) a super quick thing to say now is that you keep them in scout to give yourself less drops , I would normally have them in open order in a line so they can all shoot and all fight if they get charged , I would give them sheilds , I’d only give big units of them great Weopons , the only time I’d have them in skirmish is blocking off woods from the green knight :) skirmish is damgerous for us after the faq so I prefer open order :)
@@Dawiafterdark hey appreciate your tips here! Im quite a new player and don't yet know what is treated common knowledge on the topic. I thought skirmish is good as you get shot with -1 so a really helpful insight :)
@ it’s good but because we have such short legs it’s dangerous for us to be in skirmish and also with t4 and sheilds it’s hard for shooters to pick them off unless your against hi str shooting
@ my plan is to try and make everything common knowledge :)
Great video, my personal favourites are rangers. I put a runesmith and BSB with rune of hesitation in it. It worked really well, because people want to get rid of the rangers … but I might over committed xD.
Did I get this right: If my unit of irondrakes falls back and runs into the unit behind it, it just pops out on the other side?! Don’t even need to make a leadership test? That’s neat.
@@nonquisquan so you need to take a panic test for the unit behind but your dwarfs , you can’t fail panics hahah
If you were gonna have a hammerers unit. What size unit would you go for? And would the MRoGrungni be a must?
@@wilhelmthonwicklund1544 I think if your gunna do it you go big and commit , 25 minimum , bab in there runesmith in there and yeet it up the board with the pony cart and anvil buffing it
And yes 100 percent
Good Video! What do you think of Royal Clan Warriors?
This video was a bit soft, felt softer than your usual content.
Keep making videos, really enjoying your stuff!
@@vincemattana I really don’t like them man , the fact you can’t change weapons means that are stuck in one roll , I think longbeards always win for core points in royal clans imo , haha what do you mean by soft mate ? 🤣 haha cheers mate I won’t be stopping any time soon :)
@@Dawiafterdark soft spoken I think, the audio is very low ❤
@@JohnnyTightIips ahhhh ok been having a nightmare with my audio I’ve got dji mics coming Thursday so should sort it out !
@@Dawiafterdark Good point, thanks! I mean soft in terms of the volume - I had to put my sound all the way up.
Bloody audio , annoyingly my voice is like naturally really reverby but got dji mics coming tomorrow so should sort it !
on the subject of rune of courage
from what my group interpret the oathstone is 15 pts and dose the same thing as the rune of of courage as rules as written means you cant choose to flee as a reaction and the terror test says the unit that fails the test must choose to flee as a reaction which cancels each other out?
So this is a bit of a weird rules interaction but unfortunately a terror test would force you to flee if you failed it , and oathstone also doesn’t negate fear so I definitely think rune of courage is worth it :)
13:20 and i think is one magick item that turr n off all fly
. Not remember what faction. I think bretonians?
The falcon horn for brets :) it’s such a strong magic item !
@@Dawiafterdark now i relize its like also say to all dragons. No you are not muving much ;]
@@jacawandersmok9043 it’s one of the many things that’s helping brets be one of , if not the strongest army in the game right now :)
Great channel and great content for dawi beginners like me :) I was wondering what advice you would suggest against sylvan elves? Specially versus harassing msu lists, who outrange us with their longbows…
Thank you ! Honestly they are a hard game for us , you need to be hyper aggressive , fireball thane is really good too with a crossbow works the best against elves ! Scouting a larger unit of rangers works too hyper agressively
Thanks ! I have two other questions 😅
Why a Thane for the « fireball » instead of an engineer ? 75 pts of magic item vs 50, but the engineer has CT5 (so rune of Accuracy less needed). The engineer is also cheaper and can buff a war machine for instance.
Regarding the combo Anvil + marching column + drilled, for getting 18 inch move (or more with the cart!): how do you deal with the fact that if you get charged the next turn, in marching column you lose the rank bonus ? Is there something I missed here ?
Thanks a lot :)
@@vincentbonnivard1214 right so the reason for run of accuracy is to shoot at things that stack minus to hit , if your playing against armies with skirmish and other rules with minus to hit suddenly your engineer is hitting on 5s , so that’s worth the extra 25 points imo , and you want to plonk your unit in front of something that either isn’t going to charge you or if it does it won’t do too much damage , like writhing 3 inch’s of a chariot don’t doesn’t get impacts or in front of a hero that wants to charge you so your lord can challenge them out and archers then start killing stuff
Also losing that first round of combat isn’t that much of a big deal as dwarfs are amazing in the grind
How many torpedos come with the iron drakes, would be awesome if they come with 3+ so you can make mini mobile cannons.
So you can only have one per model but they do hit orettt well so the unit is basically a mini cannon which is great !
@@Dawiafterdarksorry I meant, How many champions can we create with torpedos from iron drakes / breaker box? A 4+1 torpedo champion is an annoying attack target, mobile, and can be moved to areas where there is no action for the opponent.
Nice intro buddy!
Cheers bro !
Interesting that you didn't rate Longbeards very high when you did the Heavy Infantry teir list with Close Order but now you love them. Has something changed your opinion or was there another reason?
So ed said I had to be objective in the ratings video , thinking about when you have to be taken in special rather than core and unbuffed, but these in royal clans buffed up with banners and a good hero in are amazing !
@Dawiafterdark hmm, I swear in the early part of the video, he said, rate them in the best way they can be taken. That may have been in one of the other teir videos he did, though.
I agree though, longbeards in core are great, maybe a little expensive, but still great.
@@Xanatosaus hahaha potentially but behind the scenes I had to be objective or I would have put a lot more dwarf stuff higher 🤣🤣 I think in core with the plus one str in the flow up and charge they are a much better choice than the rc warriors , I do still rate the normal warriors some of the best infantry in the game mind point for point
Damn you, Richy! I want to collect dwarves now! 😂❤
Do it !
Hi mate, Thanks for your videos. I wanted to get some Highlands Miniatures dwarfs printed, but don't know what scale works best with alongside the GW minis. Do you get yours printed at 28mm or 32mm?
@@someoneextant so I got mine printed to 32 they are bigger than gw but look a hell of alot better ! Do you have a printer ? Also have you looked at white angel minis they look amazing too
I find units of ten Rangers in skirmish formation works fine. I just have two rows of five with tiny gaps between each one
It’s the back row being obscured which is annoying with that , and making sure your 6 inch’s away from each end just incase they just disappear if they are charged haha
@@Dawiafterdarkthe back row can shoot fine as you have tiny gaps between the front row, and each row is half a base size offset.
Also with the getting into combat when charged, if 3" gets them to behind the fighting rank are they safe?
So unfortunately as the rules are at the moment the second row is obscured so minus one to hit , but I heard on the grape vine that might be changing :) it’s 6 inches luckily as they can travel double move to snap in :)
But I know if I was doing it I’d be really annoying with myself my line went 7 inch’s long haha
@@Dawiafterdarkah the front row give the enemy cover from the second, lol I hadn't considered that.
Where does the double move come from? I can't see reference to that, cheers
Ironbreakers with a runesmith for the AB -2 are fun but they are in the same bath as the hammerers, they are too pricy!
I love ironbreakers just can never take them competitively which is crazy because they are great
Love the Channel! Does the Engineering Master Rune of Slaying do D3 wounds to anything or just to behemoths? I thought it may be another way (on a shooty thane) to try and hurt monstrous infantry/dragons. Thanks!
@@michaeldeforest9149 thank you so much ! Does d3 wounds to anything !!! Muahahaha
I recently got into old world and got my butt kicked quite a bit playing the Dawi which killed my motivation a bit. I felt part of it was our gunlines weren't as strong or everyone would just avoid getting into combat and drop me down with magic and deny the anvil of its buff.
I really like the faction, but I find the lack of movement really punishing, do you have any recommendations to kind of get me back into the dawi game?
Have you tried yeeting your units ? So stollas runes on the banners to get a 3 inch vangaurd on them before the game starts , then have them drilled so they can pop into marching collum then you can move three times a turn in marching collum , if you have a cart within 6 inch’s one unit can move 27inchs turn on and another could be up next to it on turn two if you get the double move spells off , it’s a gamble but we can be really speedy
Giving irondrakes the vangaurd banner catches people out aswell because you can get in range turn one if they deploy on the line :) as you can move and shoot with no penalty , if you put burlock in the irondrakes they don’t suffer long range penalties either
@Dawiafterdark honestly, never knew that you can yet them that far. Seems oddly reminiscent of Gimli saying you'll have to toss me to Aragorn 😂
@@Imperialguardftw it’s a trick that really catchs people out especially if your drilled and don’t start in marching collum , then switch into it in your turn
Nobody tosses a dwarf! Hahaha
Ritchy what do you think of this strat to protect your bsb, and would it even work? You have a big unit with drilled and deploy it 5 wide, then put a King on shieldbearers in it, then put a bsb on foot in it and I believe they would have to be placed in the 2nd rank as there's no room for them in the front as he can't displace a command model, but you'll still get access to all his abilities. Then when you use drilled to redress you can go into a wider formation but elect not to move the bsb from the 2nd rank, making him untouchable.
So the only problem is as soon as your in combat you lose all the abilities he gives if your not in the front rank , how are you kitting your bsb out as you can make them ridiculously tanky , it definitely works untill you get into combat mind .
@@Dawiafterdark I could defo be wrong here but I think you only lose your abilities when you retire from declining a challenge, unless there's somewhere that says you have to be in the fighting rank to benefit from abilities. It's one of those that's bending the rules to the extreme but us dwarf players need all the help we can get!
@@MirelurkCakes so I’ve been involved in a discussion at an event about this , and it got ruled that as soon as you hit combat you cease to influence to fight but I will do some digging and see if you’ve just come up with a super play ! Let’s hope you have , by grimnir that would make runesmith bsbs viable
@@Dawiafterdark Bretonnia handmaidens have a similar rule where they can move out of the fighting rank and still confer all their benefits which might be an arguement for as well.
Il confer it with some TO’s and see what we can come up with :)
What about Slayers? I know they suck but is there a way to create a monster killer that survives..?🤷
@@Karak-Fak so ,,,, I’m actually working on a slayer army to use at events right now so il keep you posted but short answer is I think we can !
@@Dawiafterdark dusting off the orange-haired champs then!
Yeah I have a plan ! My last plan with them didn’t go well into the new chaos aj armies so back to the drawing board haha
@@Dawiafterdark could they be used solely as a “reserve”. As in leave them behind a line at the back and move in when the line gets charged? That sounds kinda lame…
I’m just obsessed with them taking on a DE dragon haha
The imagery alone…
So I lost against double DE dragon list the other day so definitely have a grudge there !!
What do you think a gyrocopter spam list would best consist of?
So I’m running 19 at the moment that’s a mix of scout and normal and that’s working well
Thanks for the reply 🤗 What does the rest of the list consist of? Warriors to fill up the core? Do you take gyrobombwers?

Amazing. Thanks very much. I’m just looking at getting into old world This looks like the kind of tricksy army that I’d be most interested in
@ yes !!! It’s very tricksy , high risk high reward !
I need someone to explain this move 3 times thing he discussed under the warriors
Hi it’s called marching collum , if your unit is longer than it is wide your in marching collum and you can move three times :) and then if you strike the anvil you can do it again :) so move 6 times in one turn
They have a 3" move normally and marching column triples your movement, plus the Rune of haste and urgency from the anvil lets them move again, once more at triple their movement characteristic (because marching column). The vanguard move from Strollaz' Rune is a 3" move at the start of the game. Bugman's cart gives "During the Command sub-phase of their turn, any Dwarf unit that is not fleeing or engaged in combat and that is within 6" of a friendly Bugman's Cart (that is itself not fleeing or engaged) gains a +1 modifier to its Movement characteristic until the end of the turn." so in total:
3" vanguard move before game starts.
In command sub phase - Bugman's cart adds +1 inch movement until end of turn if they are within 6" of it
12" move in marching column.
12" move from the anvil casting Rune of Haste & Urgency.
27" total move :)

Still collecting/painting my models but I’ve been furiously wearing out old world builder trying to find a list that can withstand T6 monsters and heroes. Best way for dwarves is combat res imo. Thank you though because I thought dwarves were unplayable at first but they are always #1 in my heart😂
Haha they definitely not unplayable , I’ve managed to get some really great results with them , it’s just every game is a hard nail biting game which I like , you need your tanky heros to challenge lock the monsters then combat res them out
4:05 - 21" but who's counting *cough* this miscalculation goes into the book *cough*
That leaves them (in most setups) 3" away from enemy - just enough for impacts to work ;)
