OK so i this is the new route I want to take with Dwarves. I've tried many other cards & configurations for the remainder to gill out. I'd prefer around 55 cards and want it to be faster. here's the core of the deck -

3 - Gurni Thorgrimson

3 - Dragonmage

3 - Anvil of Doom

2 - Organ Gun

3 - Gromril Armour

2 - Knight in Training (would be 3 if i had a 3rd)

2 - Blessing of Isha

3 - Isha's Gaze

2 - Dwarf Cannon Crew

2 - Alliance (Dwarf - High Elf)

2- Alliance (Dwarf - Empire)

2 - Alliance (Empire - High Elf)

3 - Contested Vilage

29 Cards

I know i need some more units, i've considered:

2 - Silver Helm Brigade (low loyalty, helps card draw as i really want to minimize things in Quest in preference to KZ)

2 - Archmage of Saphery (i figure for 1 or 2 i get a HE loyalty, combines with Silver Helms, & attached unit of Isha's Gaze, but has no power to help card draw)

3 - Flagellants (helps slow things down until i get enough resources, provides Empire loyalty)

2 - SIgmar's Blessed (in BZ to slow opponent, but i think too risky as if they're out of BZ units, a one-shot sniper on them loses a Gurni with his attachments)

2/3 - Gurni's Elite (the 3 dwarf loyalty is holding me back)

2/3 - Mountain Brigade (good n durable but have 2 loyalty & 4 print cost)

The following Tactics i've considered:

3 - Blessing of Valaya (can redirect to Dragonmage, Silver Helms, back to originating unit

3 - Iron Discipline (to protect attached units)

2 - Grudge Thrower Assault

2 - Master Rune of Valaya

3 - Gifts of Aenarion (probably too much to use effectively on a regular basis)

2- Franz's Decree (while attacking since i have few units, for defense if needed)

2 - Banish (before attacking, to slow opponent)

Then these Supports

3 - Warpstone Excavation (in QZ to increase draw)

2- Repeater Bolt Thrower (probably costs too much; too slow)

I'd appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions on this type of deck. Want it to work & kinda over trying to get development or grudge dwarf to work...

i personally wouldn't play warpstone in your deck, something that corrupts your units as they come into play will play havok with your deck. I'm guessing by the card choice your trying to play a somewhat defensive deck, playing warpstone will only serve to hamper that plan as unless your playing an all out rush deck your just gonna leave a zone woefully undefended and open to attack. The bolt thrower is definatley a good card, but i don't think it would work too well with your set-up, otherwise i think it's a fairly solid deck on paper, i'd acually have to play it before i could actually make a call on it tho.

I actually want to make it as aggresive and Offensive as possible...Rune o' Valayas are in only in hopes to delay until i get things set up...The Blessings of Valaya to Keep Dragonmage & Gurni there longer, because if they go, i lose at least 2 cards, usually more. The Warpstone Excavations would only be in QZ, where i plan on putting only the Archmage. Since i won't be defending with him they effectively have no drawback. And yes i plan on not defending QZ at all in order to be faster. But that's the PLAN...so far still not fast enough By that i mean i've used the cheapest cards above & kept around 50-55 for the deck. Problem is unless you draw Cannon Crew, get an alliance THEN you can get out Gurni turn 2 w/ attachment or 2, you're toast to a rush deck. Dragonmage is slower to get out usually. Once they're out its just a matter of protecting them...

The orcs got it made with Ugrock Beardburna/Boar Boyz + We'z Bigga! , Banna of da Red Sunz/War Paint/Followers of Mork/Ugruck. Turn 2 Ugrock with We'z Bigga is 4/5...throw a War Paint on for free 5/5...then all the Waaghs & Rip & Totem & Spiders lol its really freaking hard to combat that now with Dwarfs. Skaven get a card that lets them draw UP TO 5 Skaven cards...it costs ONE RESOURCE. I want a card that searches my deck (or top 5 of it rather) and lets me put into hand at least 2 attachments. I don't think that's asking too much...make it 2 attachments and a Dwarf tactic with loyalty and it's way more acute than Chittering Horde. I really hope the next BP cycle comes through on its promise and equals them out at least a little.
