My next Warhammer The Old World Army: And yes its dwarfs! But with gyrocopters!

[@nickwalk54]

Richy stoked to hear more about slayers when you have a chance. Love the gyro idea but I got loads of 6th edition slayers and need some inspiration to rebase

[@Dawiafterdark]

I’ve been testing some ideas as soon as I’ve got a good plan il let you know !

[@will1228]

I’ve been rocking only Ex-Force list since the book came out. My lists have been more a mix of Artillery Spam (6 pieces) and Scout Gryos with 2 units of rangers scouting. With the shooty thane, Burlock, 2 engineers and an Engineer BSB with all the trimmings. The list feels good but I’ve found that it struggles vs multi save monsters / characters (reg save, ward and regens all on one character). Scout Gryos with being able to march and still shoot has been great vs Enemy wizards or artillery and the Grudge throwers have been amazing as well. I’m excited to try the all gryo list, thanks for dropping some knowledge and insights inti the list. Glad you’re having fun with it. Love the vids as always. Thanks Ritchie!

[@Dawiafterdark]

I’ve played games with the massive full buffed block of handgunners and all the artillery and it’s super fun ! I just wanted to try the full avoidance list

[@monsterhelmet48]

Hey richie . Small advice thing as i have played against alot of gyros. They are often best used as pegasi knights we find, with the impact making up for a lack of mounts. The fact that the save is worse is somewhat mitigated by the fact that you can bring a million units. Even with rule of 3 3 units of 3 is still nexpensive and can clear a flank charging stuff. Not that the guns are not good or useful tho. Also the steam gun is very useful on a skirmisher but you probably know that cheers from team Denmark :O

[@Dawiafterdark]

@@monsterhelmet48 yeah 100 percent ! Cheers mate , I really enjoy the full send turn one charge into one flank and just envelop them , like a swarm of bees hahaha , I think the guns are ..ok it’s more small win army which is cool in a win loss draw setting , are you looking at playing in worlds ?

[@monsterhelmet48]

@@Dawiafterdarki too feel it does well in win draw loss, if piloted correctly (pun) anyway yes we are working on it its gonna be fun :)

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts regarding a Slayer list. I am keen to print and paint it up, since there’s such a wealth of sculpts between Durgin, MOM, White Angel, Beholder and AoW (shoutout to Old World Forge as well, if you are a fan of Oldhammer), but gameplay-wise it is a tough nut to crack.

[@Dawiafterdark]

@@sbart23 ohhh yeah for sure there are loads of cool sculpts !!! Big bricks are where I’m at at the moment which is great into some stuff but crap into others haha

[@Cr0sis]

Got 40 Slayers painted up - really hope you come up with a good list for them because so far I’ve not had much luck with them.

[@Dawiafterdark]

@@cweeperz7760 hah love it , I mean as long as you have a strategy going into brets you can do ok , plus what do they know , dragon armies are weak into brets so if this army is on the same pegging as dragon armies then I’m all for it haha

[@IronbearClan]

All comers! Rock and Stone! Fierce when Roused! The Ironbear Clan will answer the High King's call. Loved the video. and the shoutout! Taking a respite with Ogres during 5-6th taught me movement and made me a better player. Bomber Command will be strong. You got this.

[@darrenivey4273]

@Dawiafterdark perfect!

[@darrenivey4273]

Also, interesting point on the Welsh Open. I was going to take two bricks of Black Orcs, but due to the max 10 wide rule, I'm thinking of going for the lesser seen Tzeentch flying circus. Which has some parallels with your gyro list.

[@Dawiafterdark]

@ yeah some comps are fine but when they mean your current army can’t wain games it’s a touch annoying , but ohh well just an excuse to start a new one hah

[@warpaintjj]

I’d still like to see an all Slayer army 😊

[@Dawiafterdark]

It will happen you don’t have to worry about that ! There’s just so much choice with dwarfs !!

[@Dawiafterdark]

Yes !!!! Have you had a go with them yet ?

[@markysgeeklab8783]

@Dawiafterdark not yet, I'm really looking forward to it though. I spend a lot of time thinking about playing and hardly any actually playing at the moment. I'm also running burlock and a big block of thunderers in both of the first versions of my list.

[@Dawiafterdark]

Well I hope you get some more games in soon ! Although we all spend much more time thinking about it than playing annoyingly haha , how do you find it ?

[@Dawiafterdark]

Nice it looks a really fun list how did you find the doom seeker in it ? Slayers kill stuff or just pure anvil ?

[@Lekamaukka]

@@Dawiafterdark Doomseekers mostly protect warmacines or flanks of slayers / warriors. In most games they die while getting some damage done. Slayers can start in marching column with the cart and redress ranks in 2nd turn and advance a little to get charged or be ready to charge. Daemon slayer in the unit is sometimes too effective and kills everything so the rune of dishonored really is a double-edged sword. But the idea of the list is to have shooting so opponent needs to get to you, but through your slayers and dangerous terrain from the sapper.

[@jacobhausler8819]

Gyros should be able to use swiftstride while fire & flee so 2d6 away. alowes a bit more risk

[@Dawiafterdark]

@@jacobhausler8819 sorry I didn’t explain that very well 😂 but yeah one dice less haha

[@AmmiraglioMurray]

First of all: Rock and Stone! It's two months now that i'm playing with a EXForce list. Having a lot of fun apart against Bretonnia with the damn Horn it's just a pain, i haven't found yet a solution.

[@Dawiafterdark]

@@AmmiraglioMurray so I had a game against it last week and I was hyper agressive and got first turn so I just charged everything I could to try and push units off the board . It was a draw in the end but that went better than expected actually , but the lil box staggered defence is more secure that’s for sure !

[@Dawiafterdark]

Rock and stone !!!!

[@AmmiraglioMurray]

@@Dawiafterdark Yeah i Will try both option you shared in the video 💪but here in Italy we are still Stick to the rulebof 3 so for the Moment i run "only" 9 scout and 3 regular Gyro. I'm trying a concussion rune spam but it's just betting on opps bad rolling..

[@Dawiafterdark]

@ have you tried bigger units of the normal gyros ? The dovebb works really well when you have a big unit , yeah it’s annoying when your trying to get them to roll a 1

[@AmmiraglioMurray]

@@Dawiafterdark i Will try, Need to buy more Gyro😂 thank you for sharing your pro idea

[@hectorkharek]

Looks like a good idea to rock a checkerboard formation with that kind of army but i am concerned o how long might take to run a turn given the amount of measurements needed to position all of those correctly 😂. I am definitely looking forward to see how u plan that army, to be honest i would possibly struggle to run it hehe

[@Dawiafterdark]

Yeah it does work pretty well , I’ve had to get movement trays made for them haha it’s no way near as easy as people think it is to play for sure

[@hectorkharek]

@Dawiafterdark its definitely very very difficult to run, no mistakes allowed and huge knowledge of other armies and full concentration.... But if pulled off correctly it's probably going to be amazing and rewarding, definitely a nice challenge

[@Dawiafterdark]

I completely agree ! Going to be fun !!!

[@AmericanHeron]

If it's a Gyros list, it should be called "Thortunate Son"

[@AndyM_323YYY]

If you want to find out whether its your army or your generalship that's winning battles this is the way to do it. Let's hope there are no regrets on the day.
