I've always been a big fan of Dwarfs - they were my first fantasy minis army, and the general theme of tactics for the short, tenacious buggers fits my play style very well. Kings of War's Dwarfs are very similar to Warhammer's, in the sense that they are slow, have heavy armor, and generally good ranged weaponry and war engines.
Where they differ is primarily in the variety of regiments they have access to - Bulwarkers are
very good at cavalry defense, Sharpshooters are a long range sniping option with a powerful hit, Earth Elementals fit the dwarf theme very well but add in a solid bit of movement shenanigans, and Berserker Brock Riders... they're dwarf berserkers riding giant, angry badgers! High speed,
lots of attacks, and hitting power like mad, they're a great tactical asset in any dwarf list!
Rather than go into any more detail on the Dwarf units (there are so many!), I'm going to start with a basic 1000pt list. I'm basing the list on what comes in the
Mantic Dwarf Starter Army, which is a pretty nice way to start an army. I'll be doing another for the
Mantic Dwarf Mega Force, but only after I've gotten a few games in with the Starter Army List to gauge it's ability.
List after the Break!
