2000p vs Dwarves

Master Necromancer + lvl 4 200p

Vampire + Shield + Barded Nightmare + lvl 2 + the Cursed Book + Dragonbane Gem 198p

Vampire + Great Weapon + Heavy Armour + Staff of Damnation 157p

60 Zombies 180p

31 Crypt Ghouls + Crypt Ghast 320p

33 Grave Guards + FC + Banner of the Barrows 483

Mortis Enginge + Blasphemous Tome 240p

4 Blood Knights + Standard + Musician 220p

Total: 1998p

Yeah so I'm fighting Dwarves and this is my army list.

I got the Cursed book to hopefully remove some of his dispel dice, or put som good hex spells on his units. He usually upgrades his warmachines with flaming attacks so i put the Dragonbane Gem on the mounted vampire, this way he will most likely stay alive even if the Blood Knights are shot down.

Use the zombies to stall one of his units for a while, Ghouls are at least able to do some damage, so i took a couple of those.

Mortis Engine and Blood Knights are basicly there to be shot at, allowing my Grave Guards to cross the field and kill him.

I didn't take any flyers or fast cav for warmachine hunting because he always pack everything in one place not allowing anything to reach the machines.




I'm thinking of maybe trading the 4 Bloodknights, degrade the mounted vampire a bit and put in 10 Hexwraiths instead, what do you think?


This is my first 2000p list ever so don't judge me too harsh please smile

Also: How does the Spelleater rune work on bound items? Does it destroy the item on a roll of 4+, or simply dispel it once?

The spelleater rune is like a dispel scroll but also removes the spell from the wizard on a roll of 4+

I think that a Black Periapt is actually a very good item against Dwarfs, because of the fact you can take your dispel dice in his nonexistent magic phase and use them in your magic phase, which is going to help you get one spell off. (Maybe. Lol.)

RE: 2000p vs Dwarves

If you are playing dwarves you might consider the banner of blood keep on those BK's. 4 of them will go down really fast to artillery. For those points you might even be better of with a Varg or something. I like the suggestion to use ethereal, but if your opponent uses lots of magic flaming shooting (Which he likely will if he is a dwarf) they might die faster than the Blood Knights.

RE: 2000p vs Dwarves

the black periapt sounds like a good idea

taking flag of bloodkeep however would bring me above 25% rare points, and they are mainly there to be shot at instead of the Grave Guards, I've learnt that as soon as the grave guards reach him, I usually win. Perhaps the Ironcursed Icon (or whatever its name is) would be nice though, at least a 6+ ward save against war machines for only 5 points

That is a huge point sink for a distraction unit. you could beef up the GG and take Wolves or Bats to deal with warmachines. Course, if it's worked for you before then run it again Thumbs Up whatever works for you.
