This is an army that uses dwarves. It may seem amusing, but I may play it in my next tournament game which isn't really all that soon, but that's besides the point. The metagame here is stagnant, and I know what people will play so it's not a big deal. I think my biggest disadvantage will be the fact that this army doesn't really fit my playing style. I am overly used to Bound and ML from the days of Lancers. :) Oh well. Let me know what you think.

Strategy is simple. Use the sprites to advance your dwarves. Faith Healer and Shade do what they always do: heal and harass, respectively. I'd probably use 4 curtain walls for terrain and hope to form a tunnel or ^ shape with them.

Thanks in advance for any comments or criticism.

If you have a good idea of what other people will be playing, telling us will help you make the army better. :D

Okay.

There will be a Knights Immortal army which will either be using all chargers or E@As and chargers; an Orc Army using either Behemoth or Orc Captain plus various Orc melee pieces; An army that uses buttloads of toughness; An army that will fit as many big uniques in it as possible; a Zombie Baron army with Nightstalkers*; and a Troll Army with Sislith Trackers. The Trolls, KI, and Toughness armeis will be played by the better players. The Toughness army by the person who usually wins or takes 2nd if I manage to beat him.

Go you.

I made and army like that except it used more dwarves and no sprites or healers. I might try an army more like yours and see how it does. Finally dwarves are loosing their suckyness (thats right suckyness).

P.S. I like the sig

Elves?Elves are bony scrony things with big ears!Dwarves are strong!Have MI!And on top of that,the Dwarven Rotay Fuser really looks like a biker!Bwahaah!You could try adding one rotary fuser to your army,I have seen they being used and teared the enemy to shreds with their multiple attacks.Three rotary *** can hit their attacks really easily,however,the toughness army and the trolls will not be harmed unless you make the full attack on them!

Kill the elves!Kill the Humans!Save the gold for ourselves!

( I really need a undead dwarf with MI )

For the most part, it doesn't look like you're planning on going against many range-heavy armies... so my best suggestion might be to replace the Warrior Sprites... you can replace them with 2 **Shades and still have about 25 pts left over.

hmm, perhaps you're right. I'll see how it works in play testing against the hordes of red sisliths that will be coming to see me.

I forgot about the 3 troll gunners backed by the 19 Defend Draconum. Hehe. Speaking of which he and his friend once came late to a tourny, so they both missed the first round and didn't get points so they played each other in the second round. His friend sucks so he decided to resurrect his Solonavi 3 times which was killed twice and captured once racking up so many points for that troll army it didn't need that 1st round. It was kinda lame. : \

3 Troll Gunners behind an Eldritch... in that case you may want to hang onto those sprites... :D

I just thought of something. I am not sure about the point cost but you could replace the faith healer with a centuar medic. The bound would help you get your guys healed up faster so they could get back into action ASAP.

About that solonavi thing that once happened at my place. I was doing really well and then this kid decided he was going to let his friend capture all of his guys. So this guy gets a total of 600 points in one game. That made me a little mad but it was ok because we have finals instead of just adding up point costs and I played him and stomped him.

This army looks surprisingly strong. Surprising, because I'd never considered Dwarves much of a threat.

The only real problem is the Pikemen. I like the theory, I like the cheap Defense 18.. however, this army relies on the fact that it can't get shot at until it gets right up close. The pikemen can get magic blasted, putting you at a severe disadvantage. Also, unless tehre is an objective, Polearm is kinda useless on close combat troops - there is no reason for someone to base them. It acts as a deterrent against swarming, but the Axe Knights do that much much better with sweep.

I suppose this is where the metagame comes in, you don't mention that you'll be seeing alot of Magic Blast.

However, I would suggest taking out those Pikemen and the Faith Healer, and putting in a Wraith, if you have one. It has the magic immunity to stay in concept with the rest of the army, and gives you another heavy hitter. I doubt that a healer would see much chance of healing anything but the warrior sprites. Plus, an elf wouldn't be seen dead hanging around with dwarves. The wraith is allready dead, so it doesn't matter.

that'll leave like, 5 points to do something with, not really important, just upgrade stuff. And imp would be totally unneccessary, better to use the points on worthless upgrades.

You'll have the biggest problems if someone fields ML/Ram, or a Pyre spirit.

this army seems like it should be in lotr(lord of the rings) but i like it and i am glad to see some dwarves in mk (i did not play for a while but then got back in to it las month) they make an entresting adition

Mr Dwarf
I want you to go out and win with this army.
Someone had the courage to make a nearly whole dwarven army and post it for all our critisisms
and amazingly there aren't too many critisisms you have done a great job.

a while back i posted a dwarf army and everyone pointed and laughed and made fun of me for using a dwarf army D:

Hehe, thanks for the help people. I may have to tweak it after testing. :)

Necro, it's okay, I am still taunted locally for my Dwarf fetish.

Hey Dwarves are nothing to laugh at they can be crazy little freaks. Not a bad Army.

Having a dwarf fetish on the other hand it something to laugh about! hahahahahahah!
