Anti-Dwarf army (2000 points) - Shooty & hard hitting heroes army (1/0/0)
Theory - This army was purpose designed to kill dwarfs, just about everything shoots, and I have infiltrators (Shadow Warriors and Reavers) to get close and stop them from travel marching. The two unattached heroes are to rove and kill war-machines or characters. The general is outfitted for if things go bad, and I have to fight his general.
Practice - The game went perfectly! Got a good set-up with clear view for my shooters (basically in one short line), and cover for my heroes and Shadow Warriors. The reavers zoomed up to engage a cannon, while the Shadow Warriors popped out from the trees at the other two. The griffin hero slaughtered a unit of 10 dwarfs, and scared off two cannons nearby. My Heart-of-woe hero charged his general and wounded him, and killed his Battle Standard before dying. The mage promptly resurrected him, to enter the fray once more. Reavers slowed down the other flank, and the bolt-throwers ripped though his ranks. My Griffin hero then killed a rune-lord, and his general, and as I advanced for the final kill, he surrendered.
