Dwarfs vs Beastmen tips

#21546

Hello everyone.

So I used to be mainly a dwarf player in wh1 and wh2. Currently I main Lizardmen. I am top 100, been there for a long time. Have a 95%win rate with LM.

Basically only loose with the Dawi, but win much more than I lose.

But there is one matchup I absolutely don't know what to do and that is Beastmen.

How do you deal with them ?

They are too quick so arty is quite useless. They have tons of backlinks harrassers and killers like chariots, monsters, harpies etc .. so having a missile line is awful.

Their minotaurs are now very cheap and thus can dominate your infantry. So I am trying to figure out what is the best build against them ?

Maybe an Infantry heavy army with Ungrim and Gotrek to deal with the large ?

Idk, wanted to know your opinion on this

Try a gyrocopters against their chariots and monsters, using rangers to screen against harpies and wyvern

I would bank on giant slayers with ungrim. Main body should be dwarf warriors and 2H longbeards, both have charge def against large.

I always found rangers with great weapons good against chariots, esp with RORs hunter's mark.

I would still bring a cannon or two to focus fire cygors.

Havent played MP properly since warhammer 2, so my tactics may be outdated.

In land battles the jabberslythe complicates things since he’s so hard to pin down.

Two strong builds in general though: one is four cannons naked belegar four slayers rest Longbeards and miners bc. Cannons can be protected and should be spread out a bit and the infantry and blasting charges and slayers can carry the day with few other ranged elements to defend.

Another is thorek anvil itp item Felix thane all melee box with three iron breakers some miners bc maybe a long beard and slayer. This is weaker to cygor kite but probably stronger vs jabberslythe and melee attack builds.

It’s also generally considered a hard match up for dwarves. Dwarves struggle vs high mobility simply cause they don’t get to pick engagements. They have never been bad but there mu has always been more of counter faction in that they excel vs some factions suck vs others. They have a few that can swing but not many.
