Model: Skeletal Dwarf Soldier Faction: Ahmut’s Legion Why It Rocks: When Ahmut’s Legion wins on the field, it repairs any losses with the bodies of its enemies. Mordengard’s fallen dwarves make particularly useful undead pawns, obedient and hard to drop -- they’re already dead. Tricks and Tactics: You have at least two choices when considering adding a Skeletal Dwarf Soldier to your warband. You could add one simply to sop up a few extra points you have to spend -- the Skeletal Dwarf Soldier is cheap at 5. With its Skeletal ability to avoid some blows, its low health score could give it an "undead" vitality far above average. The other choice is to embrace the low cost of these units and bring several to the table. A swarm of these models can put down one good enemy, or at least slow that enemy down. They are not difficult to command, so they go where your commander wants them. For instance, you could throw at least three Skeletal Dwarf Soldiers at the same enemy (to get the +2 flanking bonus). Odds are, you’ll strike at least once per round. Actually, if you can bring two Skeletal Dwarves and one tougher model, such as the Ghoul, into contact with the same enemy, you’ll still get the flanking bonus -- plus the enemy is more likely to focus on the tougher model first, allowing your Skeletal Dwarves to live on. Enemies Who Hate to See It: Everyone hates to see skeletal models -- bring one to the table for that demoralizing effect alone.
