Hi i'm am starting fantasy as the dwarfs and I've looked around on some forums and they say ironbreakers get a 2+ armor save. Is this true if so how is it true.
thanks

Don't have a book in front of me but:
Gromril Armor (4+) plus a shield is a 3+ save
they would also get the HW/Shld Bonus in h2h giving them a 2+ save in H2H (assuming they were fighting from the front)

What the rent-a-cop said.
You can get a 2+ in hand to hand combat if fighting to the front. You have a 3+ if fighting to the side/rear or from missiles.

Yes they do but I think they are the most overrated of all dwarf troops and feel Hammerers are way better for an army and for the point cost.

To explain boldo's msg a bit more, the Hammererersersss' (however that's spelled) get Great weapons, and can still take shields, The shields give you St4 with a 3+Sv in hth with the option to swing great weapons instead and be St6 with a 5+sv.
Most things have enough trouble killing T4 guys with any sort of decent save already, forget wtvr the rest of thier stubborn / fearless when the boss/ magic pony/ boldo is in the unit.

But its nice to see a different unit even considered rather than the omnipresent Hammerers. The first dwarf army I face that doesnt have them gets a golf clap from me! ;D |
