During that time I realized I had been sort of cheating, since I was using the downloadable Dwarf Compendium and not the warscrolls from the GA:O book! So in the compendium, it said the warden king could ride shield bearers, get 2 extra wounds and two extra attacks for free! So I bought an old dwarf battalion box that had been cracked open for a great price, and got out it of almost 20 models and an organ gun, and used it to give my warden king some trusty shield bearers. I also "converted" two dwarfs into a rune lord and a cogsmith, making these guys my first kitbashes!
Either way, now I know that I didn't need to do it, but I am leaving him on his trusty shield bearers because I like the way it looks, even though it makes it him easier to see and blow up! I think now it's a good time to note, I am not a very good painter, I really only started a couple of months ago, but I am still proud of my little dwarfs.
Since GHB 2017 came out I haven't been able to get them on the table yet, but this Saturday we're having a small tournament at the shop and I am bringing my entire army (I just barely have 1500 points) and I can't wait to play, but unfortunately I live right in the path of Irma and the tournament is down just to those staying in the area, afterwords I imagine we're gonna help out and finish boarding up the shop. Anyways here is the entire army I am taking:
Leaders: Warden King, Runelord, Unforged, Cogsmith (400 pts)
Batteline: 10 Longbeards x2, 10 warriors (320 pts)
Others: 10 Irondrakes, 10 Ironbreakers, 10 Thunderers, 1 Cannon, 1 Organ Gun ( 780)
(You might notice that one of those units of Long beards looks like it has some miners in it, it does, I am thinking of cutting off their pick axes and giving them axes so it's more indistinguishably but no one has had a problem with it, and I've already cleared it with the TO)
My next hobby projects: First up I want to finish the Ironbreakers, I will probably has some time this weekend after Irma hits and I won't have much to do for a few days. Then I will do the longbeards, I've got on order another rune lord and some thunderers. Then I will begin my super project, which includes rebasing all of these dwarfs and have them standing on some round stone bases, then I will begin working on my big 4x2 Dwarf Fortress. A massive project I am planing to use it for siege battles and right now my plans include: A battlement carved into the mountain with a great gate, long hallways and rooms, and a throne room. I am really looking forward to tackling some terrain and stacking up my Duardin to defend it.
I will hopefully be posting some post-battle reports this weekend after the tournament!
