They are great against any defence five warriors as their strength three will rip through them on a 5+, but against defence six they aren't as good. But I would still recomend taking archers, even if he has a lot of defence six as they are a huge tactical asset. |

I'd take a few, around six maybe, but you won't need many. |

i would take 8 archers per 500 points in the army this way you should hit with 4 shots and take out an uruk a turn most times also if things dont go well they are still strong enough in numbers to get into combat all in all dwarf archers are worth it

I prefer a mix of Dwarf Warriors with bow and Dwarf Rangers with bow. |

Against Uruk-Hai, the rangers are probably better. They have an odd defence value, which is better against the Uruk-Hais' even strength value. Also, their extra range would be valuable. Put some rangers with your regular army as well, and give them throwing weapons. Then, try and get them toward the flanks so they can target the pikes. |

But you'd still need 6s against the pikes as they have strength 2. Unless you're talking about the throwing weapons which seems a little off topic. |
