Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I use half of one section for my mournfang unit.
I'm not sure I'm going to run anything in horde formation (maybe a unit of 30-40 dwarfs) but hard to say. It's kind of a game-time decision, I suppose.
No Mark of Slaanesh, then?
For anyone looking at Dark Elves, Raging heroes have a teaser. Basically, they're making a resin Dark Elf Witch regiment (at least, they said they were a while ago, and this certainly looks like a teaser for it), since Avatars of War dropped their plans for one to make their not-Chaos Warriors.
And the best Necromancer.
awww, butts
still looks pretty nice though

Warriors and Hammerers deploy supporting each other. Runesmith in with the warriors. Rangers deploy to protect a flank or threaten with their xbows as well as being available for GW flanking (which makes them a better choice than an organ gun, IMO). Slayer protects the other flank/the artillery.
Could it handle THIS:
Ogres:
Firebelly with ring of ruin and extra weapon
8 ogres fC
8 belchers with musician
3 YHETEES (oh snaaap)
2 sabretusks separately
Also has plastic wings from the DE dragon kit.
No, because anything you're going to be bringing in a horde you'll be bringing like 5 ranks of anyway.
Pretty much. I'm not sure I'd ever actually field 50 dwarf warriors in a unit, but I could see maybe 40. Something to think about, I guess.
And this is why I have to take 2 cannons, 2 grudge throwers, and an organ gun.
Yeah, another consideration is how many casualties a unit can suffer before it starts losing attacks. A horde of 30 is going to lose attacks every time it loses a model. You'll probably want 40 if you're hording, so that you can take some losses and still swing back at full strength. For squishier units (Dwarfs are stout, after all) 50+ isn't unreasonable
In trying to get him started up, I'm thinking a battalion and Vampire is a good starting point. I'll be building a TK army alongside his, so we'll end up with a couple of 600-650 point undead forces to play against one another.
And yeah, the Wight King model is so awesome that I'm going to use it for my Tomb Kings. TK vs. VC should be an interesting ongoing matchup, if only because there's so much fear/terror shit on the board that's not even going to matter.
