[AoS 2 - Dispossessed Discussion]

So in the Skaven book the Poisoned Wind Mortar team didn't make it into the book, and doesn't have a warscroll in the compendium, yet has a points value on the warscroll builder which is very confusing.

Are we likely to see this happen with the old bolt thrower and grudge thrower too when we get our book since they are not on the website anymore?

Currently painting up a unit 20 miners with the mining cart but on paper the unit looks like it can chuck put some real nasty damage. Especially with the steam drill, 2H weapons and the whole unit throwing blasting charges while in combat in the shooting phase. Anyone have any experiences with using miners? 

[AoS 2 - Dispossessed Discussion]

I'm quite enjoying the grudge thrower, solid reliable max damage on horde units or knocking chunks off heavier stuff. If the ironweld finally get the dispossessed keyword in the Cannons again then I can finally run 2 Cannons, a grudge thrower and a gunmaster in a dispossessed allegiance again

[AoS 2 - Dispossessed Discussion]

Yeah I like the theme of the dispossessed being like an iron wall that the enemy just crashes and shatters upon, I hope GW double down on that so that charging a dispossessed line is a real all or bust moment for an opponent

You'd probably want to mix the Ironbreakers/Irondrakes box with the Hammerers/Longbeards box to get a truly unique warrior conversion. Alternatively I can sell you a ton of warrior bits if you are UK based 😤

Heh, I'm still rocking the skull pass warriors and thunderers and miners! There is a certain charm to them. But I do think warriors and thunderers will stick around as battleline for years to come to be honest just like the moonclan grots box. The warriors/thunderers boxes are still pretty good kits with some decent customisation options to be fair. I made longbeards out of the warrior kit from before plastic longbeards were a thing and when metal ones had gone kaput, you used to only be able to make longbeards out of the plastic kit. I put shields on their backs and gave each one faceplate armour, plus one smoking his pipe and holding the standard while grumbling about how weedy grots are these days!

Yes. You can play the beautiful Duardin bolt thrower model as an Organ Gun, from the ironweld arsenal. The rules are quite matching

 

Regarding your list i like it, Ironbreakers at 1000 points give you a very bad wound/points ratio, tho. If i had to build a list i wound bring 20 or 0.

But it's proved that i'm not the best competitive list builder in here!  Play what you think is best and let us know what you think of them after the game.

The "Dispossessed Discussion" is a very good place to learn, we have no absolute truth and we all bring our personal experience.

haha point taken  I wish I had one!! Younger me went with dual cannons it seems. I only play casual with friends but they like to play 'by the book' a little bit so I try not to proxy where I can!

Something I've just noticed, I'm not sure if they will let me ally 'Dwarfs' with dispossessed though as 'Dwarfs' isn't in the list of allies in the general's handbook...will have to speak to them and see. Otherwise I might be forced to run the cannon instead for it to be legal. Maybe try warriors as you say for more bodies and bit more of a footprint on the table.

Thanks @Furuzzolo, what are your thoughts on the grudge thrower and bolt thrower? Are these pretty unplayable now then? Am I right in thinking that the Warden King and Runelords abilities don't buff these artillery because they don't have the dispossessed keyword? If so this is very sad as I love the models

Would something like this work? Keeping the dispossessed allegiance so I can get the pickaxe and let the thunderers and bolt thrower pelt the enemy with a tough screen of advancing warriors, longbeards and ironbreakers in front? My thinking is the longbeards could make the Ironbreakers a hammer while the longbeards and warriors tarpit whatever comes with shield wall. Then maybe the Warden King and thunderers can drop rudely in with the pickaxe.

Hi all, I'm new to AoS (but play a bunch of 40k and other scifi systems) and I dug out a huge dwarf force that I had in my loft from my WHFB days as a teenager, most of the sculpts are battle for skull pass or metal OOP ones. I've been reading up on things but would like a bit of assistance trying to make something out what I've got. I'm encountering a problem though in that some of my units and artillery are part Dwarf / part dispossessed / part Ironweld so I don't know what to do. If I played Grand Alliance Order would it work okay?

Can I make a decent list out of what I've got without having to buy more stuff? Also is there a way I could run a decent dispossessed allegiance list at 1k so I can get this pickaxe I oft keep reading about. Thanks fellow beards!

Heres what I've got in total:
