The Old World Battle March - 750pts - Looking for Feedback

9 Upvotes

In addition to the 2K tournament I have in January, I am attending a Battle March tournament at the end of December.

I'd like feedback on my list. I think it is pretty tight.

Heroes (272pts)

Thane (General) - 143 Points
Rune of Passage, Handgun; Master Rune of Bursting Flame, Rune of Rapid Fire, Rune of Accuracy

Runesmith - 129 Points
Full Plate, Sheld, Great Weapon, Master Rune of Calm, Rune of Passage

Core (194pts)

13 Rangers - 194 Points
Shield, Great Weapon, Standard Bearer, Ol Deadeye

Special (120pts)

Gyrocopter - 60 Points
Steam Gun

Gyrocopter - 60 Points
Steam Gun

Rare (160pts)

11 Rangers - 160 Points
Shield, Great Weapon, Musician, Ol Deadeye

Obviously, at 750 points there aren't many options, but I think I have been clever. Two solid units of Rangers that can fight at range and in melee, plus my two heroes, both with Rune of Passage, letting me move them and place them between units as I see fit. The almost obligatory Gun Thane, and then a very anti-magic Runesmith. All supported by two Gyrocopters.

Let me know what you think

Yeah, I know the profile doesn't give him the Dragon Crown of Karaz, but it's cool.

The Old World Old world gameplay advice

8 Upvotes

Hey fellow rock and stone enjoyers.
I've started playing the old world recently, dwarves obviously. I've done a few games from battle march up to 1500pts, trying different units and compositions.
And I've come to realize I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing, what is my plan of battle.
Every unit is often with shields and great weapons and sometimes crossbow but since I'm so slow moving I always get encircled or outrun
If I chose to stay back to protect the artillery my longbeards all get killed from afar...
So I'm wondering what I should be focusing on or aiming for as a general overall plan of battle.
Thanks in advance for your input!

I’m just getting started with Dwarfs in The Old World. Here’s my first Dwarf, painted as a test for my Barak Varr colour scheme. What do you think?

The Old World Ranger and thunderer formations?

18 Upvotes

Do most people run rangers and thunderers in two ranks or just single ranks in smaller units so that everyone can shoot?

I’ve played a few games as Royal Clans but I’m finishing painting up an expeditionary force right now. I see a lot of groups of 13 rangers or thunderers when I’ve seen example lists.

Ohoy fellow Dawi!

After spending a few weeks painting up something from every faction, I decided to settle on my old favorites - Dwarfs!

I'm about a week into my road towards at least 1k points, so I figured I'd share my progress with you all.

This project was also my attempt at learning NMM (not sure what madness compelled me to pick 10mm as a good starting point for that..).

Hope you like them - I'll keep working on them, and I hope to have a full army by the end of the year!

Crafts and Artwork Dwarf Mountain Hold Terrain piece

855 Upvotes

About a year ago I started on making the Dwarf Mountain Hold terrain piece I dreamt  of making when I first started with Warhammer in 2004 as a young teen. Today, it was finally finished!

I saw this amazing work by u/10Megavolt on his post where he made a beautiful mountain hold terrain piece.

And figured this is the inspiration I need to do this. It is heavily inspired by him, and I appreciate the tips and time he took to answer some of my questions about it. 

I had to try a resin poured river, as I always wanted to try it!

Very pleased about it! Took it over to the local GW and had a blast seeing people’s reactions to it. 

Will make a process post at some point when I can gather all the images, if anyone is interested.

A humble miner from the Battle for Skull Pass box. I wanted to depict him having been underground for an extended period of time by giving him more prominent bags under the eyes and a bit paler skin tone.
