Hi guys, this list is mainly thematic, I went through my books to see that Oin and Ori accompanied Balin along with Floi. I doubt this list will be very competitive but wanted some opinions on it. I also made this list as I own all the models except Floi.
Warband 1Durin's folk
Balin with Durin' axe
12 rangers with 3 bows

Warband 2
Floi

Warband 3 Thorins company
Oin
Ori

Warband 4 Army of their
Dwarf captain with shield
12 warriors 6 spears 6 shields

With my maths (which could be wrong) this is 500 on the dot.
What are your thoughts on this list? Is it viable in any way?

I am trying a similar list but this is what I came up with:

Balin with Durin's Axe
6 Iron guard
4 Dwarf warriors with bow
2 dwarf warriors with shield

Erebor captain with shield
12 dwarf warriors with spear and shield

Oin and Ori

I reckon it will be atleast partially viable - dropping Ori for anything else would be preferable but sadly I think there is nothing besides dropping two warriors and getting a catapult :/

hmm not sure, seems kinda few in numbers, although to be honest the force seems ok with alot tricky stuff.
As for me I would probably reserve those named heroes for bigger games and just keep Balin and another named heroe in the force.

That army currently is at 516pts, if you remove 2 erebor dwarves you get at 498pts

I would probably try this 1 though

Balin, son of Fundin with Durin´s axe
6 dwarf warriors with shield
3 Khazad guards
172

Warband 2
Floi
6 dwarf warriors with shield
2 Iron guards
154

Warband 3
Erebor Captain with shield
6 dwarves of erebor with shield
6 dwarves of erebor with spear
173

total: 499pts
Might: 6
models: 32
break on 16

OR

Balin, son of Fundin with Durin´s axe
6 dwarf warriors with shield
3 Khazad guards
172

Warband 2
Floi
4 dwarf warriors with shield
7 dwarf rangers
155

Warband 3
Erebor Captain with shield
6 dwarves of erebor with shield
6 dwarves of erebor with spear
173

models: 35

I should be using the force I posted at the mansfield event next month, I will let y'all know how it gets on
