At the upcomming weekend we organize a big battle with dwarves agains orcs and I need your suggestions
The game will be 2 guys with 3000 points of orcs and me alone with 3000 of dwarfs.
I dont know what to use to win as fast as I can cause I am afraid those damn fanatics. The last time I was played with my Ogres they was destroy, since my dices was damned! :) all my leadership tests was high and all my attacks low! well I need to know what I should use.
I thought at first 2 slayer regiments and 2 of warriors (one heavy weapons and the other with hand weapons) also I thought it will be a great option to use ironbreakers, but i dont know if it will be better to use minners, or use gyrocopter, or even stone thrower.
Well i am confuse. I must mention that those two guys will use facebeater and no spell or even very few!! they dont use spells at all!
Thanks everyone who will help!
Try to get to close combat as soon as possible and let your hatred of Greenskins do the job. Also, force them to do as many Leadership tests as possible: you could send a godly part of the enemy army out of the battlefield this way.
3000 points of greenskin is a lot of models so I'd use your stone thrower, it should be impossible to miss. Hit the Night Goblin units with the stone thrower, try nnd get them to flee before they even get a chance of releasing their fanatics..
I am a greenskin player and if I was fighting dwarves, your weakness is your slowness, so I would ignore your battle line and send everything I had against either your extreme left or your extreme right... because it would take you 6 turns to get the rest of your troops into the action, so thereby I cut your army in half... so really be careful about how you deploy, dont go for a long frontage.
I have a few tricks aswell:
1. shooting. this is a vital part in your army. concentrate your fire to really cripple enemy units. first priority should be given to boar boyz/chariots/enemy warmachines. these will be the first ones to hit your lines, dont let them.
2. a nice big hammerer unit with a lord and a bsb is rock hard, itīs 3k. you can afford it ;)
3. deployment. this is very important for a dwarf player. make it hard for him to get your flanks by deploying in one corner for example. alternatively a halfcircle around a hill. if none of this is possible, get slayers to protect the flanks. thats a safe bet.
4. he wont use any magic, good for you ;) O&G magic is very destructive and with 3k worth of troops he could get more PD than you could ever imagine. good thing.
5. pick the right sort of warmaschines. the goblin hewer is a wonderful toy. so is flame cannons and stone throwers are a must.
6. good luck :thumb:
