Never play your Anvil without Rune of Preservation is a rule I follow, maybe you give it a try. One comment on the issue with the Pegasus Knights on your left flank: You anticipated the Charge into your Clan Warriors well, but your Rangers did not. So instead of turning them 180 you could have reformed them facing more into the direction of where the Pegasus Knights might be after the fight. They still can shoot then, so no difference there. Luckily the Pegs lost the fight and you saw them afterwards. I think that was not the most probable outcome!

I'm pretty sure you can reform your rangers into open or skirmish formation, but then they count as having moved. Thanks for the report, great as always!

Good report as ever, great to see the Dwarfs get a win so give yourself a pat on the back! I'm still not convinced by the grudgethrower and there didn't seem to be too much here to change that - it just feels too inaccurate and that it's so much easier to hit things with cannons even if the damage is disappointing. Hoping it gets a rune to help with this when the book comes out. I realise Richey the dwarf player who keeps winning/doing well at tournaments in Nottingham had two in his most recent tournament list and so they obviously can work though I'm getting the impression he could run all sorts of things and still do well. Thought you could maybe have moved the Engineer while the pegasus knights were off the board to give them more difficult choices when they came back on. He was your general after all. That said I would probably have made the anvil the general in this list (can't believe it's not Ld10 to be honest) and that wouldn't have worked out too well. Bit disheartened that lots of Irondrakes really are looking like the way to go. I now have some models for them that I like and am happy to use (not painted yet of course) so that's good, but still would really like to be fielding as many more traditional troops as I can. Then again if I really enjoy painting them I might get more enthusiasm for them.

war machines don't pivot anymore in this edition, they just see and shoot at a 360 degree arc, makes it less weird when you have to move a war machine that is near other units or a terrain piece as you mentioned at the beginning

Another fun report. Rune of Preservation seems pretty important for the Anvil.

Those Irondrakes are dope! With the Gyrocopters at hand you have the best avaible!

👍👍

Can anyone tell me, what they think of the rules of the special character Lady Elise? Has anyone played with/against her? whats her rules like?

A moderate buff to warmachines would just do so much for dwarves in terms getting aggro from your opponent. I dont want grudgethrowers to be oppressive, I just would like for them to be good enough to force an opponent to come and get them.

Love the bretonnia magic cards! do you know where they come from or where i can get them?thx
