Just picked up 1K of Dispossessed and am excited to play some ME with them.
Nice! What units did you pick up?

Anyone think that the Kingsguard ability of the Hammerers is a little redundant? Dispossessed are practically immune to battleshock anyway. Personally I hope they change it to something more useful. Now it might not be terribly original but maybe they should get something similar to Auric Hearthguards Sworn Protectors rule? Kinda ties in with the Overlords “protect the boss” rule too. Quite Duardiny.
Only thing redundant about it is that they have a banner to halve runners when most of the time they don't need that check.
I run them in block of 30 so not ever having to roll battleshock on these guys is amazing...especially now that a 30 block is 360 points instead of 420

With the point drops does anyone consider the frigate usable in a 1k list?
-
Out of curiosity what are you offering price wise? I'd also love to see the miners in particular since I don't have any, though the whole collection sounds appealing

So with the dispossessed in the GHB, they’re ‘safe’ for another year. But they obviously still somewhat lacking as a faction. What would we like to see?
I’m somewhat of an amateur rules designer myself, with a fondness for the bearded ones (played them back in the days of 6th ed) so I’d love to write up some house rules to explore these possibilities.
For example, we have so many battleline units now (ironbreakers, longbeards and hammerers) that completely outclass regular warriors. Is that ok or do warriors need tweaking?
Honestly with the 10 point difference between Warriors and Longbeards I've considered moving to Longbeards even though they don't sport a runic icon
-
Gyrobombers if you go that route. They're sturdier then copters and give you mobility. They actually won me game when I retreated through a unit to cap an objective.

Threw together a quick list fir a 1k concept based on the points leak. Might be too fragile to work but it could be potentially killy if they stick together to goon squad important targets.
Warden King 100
Runelord 80
Runelord 80
Longbeardsx10 100
Hammerersx20 280
Irondrakesx20 360
Total Points 1000/1000
Allies 0/200
Total Wounds: 65

What do you guys think of this wierd list...
1x Warden King (100)1x runelord (80)
1x gunmaster (80)
10x Longbeard (100)
30x Ironbraker (360)
20x Ironbreaker (240)30x Hammerer (360)
10x Irondrakes (180)
10x Irondrakes (180)
1x cannon (140)
1x cannon (140)
1960/2000Irondrakes IMO work better as a single unit. You're also a bit heavy on Ironbreakers IMO. I also think Runelords are too good not to run at least 2 or more of

I was at a shop today and I found these old models sitting on the shelf collecting dust...and thought that was a grudgin'. So I bought them and they will have a place in my throng!

Hello my dwarven friends!
I am but a lurking beardling, thought I'd jump in and raise a mug to you all. New player, just bought a stack of second hand warriors with artillery, and I got excited and pulled the trigger on 4x Boxes of ironbreakers.
This is the start of something special!!
Welcome fellow beardling! I have played a few games myself, but I'm still new. That said, this news nakes me want to finish painting my hold army again

Check out the Honest Wargamers most recent show fellow dawi, I think the AoS 6 nations one at 9 minutes in they talk about some Dispossessed news.
The Dispossessed battletome question was asked at the Games expo preview and GW said actually said yes! But the book wouldn’t be named Dispossessed. They feature inside the book though. Check it out though as I can’t remember all the information they gave.
Could fit with the fluff from the fyreslayers book. With the new grungni dwarves and then the dispossessed being included in the book too, like spiderfang was in Gloomspite. Exciting times!
Indeed good news! I may be but a beardling and not a long time player, but I never lost faith we would see the light of day!

Is anyone as excited as me about the release of this model?
Where was this previewed? It looks like a Forgeworld model....and distinctly NOT Fyreslayer in nature

I don't really think this is a death sentence... plenty of things are moved to webstore exclusive and they're still around. I would only worry once any of them goes to "Sold out online".
Most GW stores simply don't carry older stuff like this... the in-store stock is extremely limited most of the time but I think that's marketing more than it means a faction is squatted. Hell, mine barely has any FeC or Skaven, but still has plenty of other stuff.Who knows what the reasoning is? I didn't mean to imply we'd get squatted, I just thought it was unfortunate that the availability is more limited now
-
I noticed that Ironbreakers went from being available in several areas to being an GW webstore exclusive.

Don't suppose anyone here plays in South Florida in the Kendall area? My local store was forced to close.

The local shop I play at fell on hard times and had to close up. I'm in the Kendall area, looking for casual matches to have fun.

Two Gyrobomber? List list list!
As you wish! I've posted it a few times in variation so here we go!
Warden Kingx1 120 (Trait Resilient, 1 extra wound)
Runelord x1 100 (Anestral Pickaxe)
Runelordx1 100
Runelordx1 100
Warriorsx30 240 (Two handed axes and shields)
Ironbreakersx20 280
Hammerersx30 420
Longbeardsx10 100
Irondrakesx20 360
Gyrobombersx2 160
I found that casting our ward save on units such as the Wartiors and Ironbreakers is far morr effective thr Rend. Even though the Warriors get get minus 2 rend, having them survive and tarpit works much better. The Ironbreakers s a Runelord held Nagash in place for three whole turns before the Ironbreakers died, and even then the Runelord held until the endgame.
The Gyrobombers came into play when he charged them and failed to kill them. Instead of fighting, I rsn away through his units and took the objective on his side of the field, followed by a charge from my Warriors into his unit.

Just played in an ITC tournament today. 3 losses, 1 win. Match ups were Idoneth Deepkin, Skaven, and Legions of Nagash.
Lost the first one to the fairly strong deepstrike eels before I could really mive (block of 20 Ironbreakers died in one turn) and it went downhill)
Skaven was partially my fault. He played a heavy Skyre build, and I was hesitant to run when I should have.
With Legions I actually capped and held all objectives. Biggest MVPs there were my two Gyrobombers

I’ve going through the warscrolls of each unit as they currently stand. Are they any changes you guys would like to see?
I’ve got a very small suggestion for starters; give longbreads an extra attack. This puts them on par with the other elite fighter units in the army and narrows that difference. This way you get;
Ironbreakers; braver warriors with an extra attack and much higher durability.
Hammerers; braver warriors with an extra, more accurate attack, slightly better durability, and immunity to battle shock if near heroes.
Longbeards; braver warriors with an extra attack, slightly better durability and the area buff of grumbling.
That’s just for starters though. I’ve got more but I’m working atm.
I would completely rework Thunderers. As it stands, they don't compete with Irondrakes; it costs the same exact points to run 20 Drakes that it does to run 30 Thunderers, and running them at 20 means if you lose a single model their accuracy buff vanishes. Quarrelers have a similar issue, but at least they're better in melee and you get more OVERALL shots at a 30 man unit, so an arguement could be made.
I'd also like to see Warriors brought up to par and made slightly beefer. They have a 5+ save while donned in chailmail, which is the same save a bunch of half naked elves and snake ladies get, which makes no sense.
Lastly, make Unforged NOT terrible. Maybe buff his saves value or give him a ward save of some kind?
One other overall thing I'd like to see is a way for us to deal mortals a TAD more often.

I'm ready, and I did my part. (Not pictured is 40 more warriors)
Nice. I wanted to buy Warriors when they came back in stock last Thursday, but they sold out in one day before I could get paid. Bought some Gyrobombers to build instead

I have a bunch of elf stuff so I don't mind doing free cities. But how does this tunneling work?
It's basically deepstrike. Runesmiter allows himself and one unit of Fyreslayers to deploy in reserve.

Mines are on 32 too. Some of them can't fit on 25mm base (Runelord especially).
I did my kitbash on 32mm. It certainly gives us more room; Warden King's Oathstone takes up the entirety of a 25mm base so it leaves virtually no room for base decorations

25mm all the faction! Just for clarity
What date is that from? Because mine says 32mm for my heroes
-
IIRC there is a section in the updated rules that shows bases sizes.
It's how I found out Dispossesed heroes are on 32 mm bases and not 25 mm

Some good stuff, though IIRC the Steam tank goes over our ally limit in a 1k game with the Dispossessed Allegiance. That said it's not by much, so if your opponent is cool with it, go for it!
