Is my maths bad, or does this list not add up?

I like the look of this list from Goonhammer: https://www.tabletopbattles.com/old-world-arcane-journal-dwarfen-mountain-holds-review/ (for original scroll to the bottom, I reformatted it for reddit below).

I can't get the same total point numbers as them. They list it as 1995 points, but I get 2095 points.

Expeditionary Force

Heroes

  • 85 Burlok Damminson

  • 179 Thane BSB, GW, Master Rune of Gromril, Master Rune of Hesitation

  • 118 Runesmith, Full Plate, Spelleater x2

  • 108 Engineer, Handgun, Master Rune of Bursting Flame, Rune of Rapid Fire

  • 70 Sapper Engineer

Core

  • 156 12x Thunderers, Great Weapons, Expeditionary Marksmen

  • 156 12x Thunderers, Great Weapons, Expeditionary Marksmen

  • 60 Scout Gyrocopter

  • 60 Scout Gyrocopter

  • 65 Bugman's Cart

  • 186 12x Rangers, Great Weapons, Shields, Full Command

  • 186 12x Rangers, Great Weapons, Shields, Full Command

Special

  • 122 8x Miners, Champ, Steam Drill

  • 122 8x Miners, Champ, Steam Drill

  • 122 8x Miners, Champ, Steam Drill

  • 300 3x Cannon, Function Over Form (-1T, loses Move or Shoot)

Total = 1995

If Goonhammer did add this up wrong, what would you change to make it add up? I have probably 80% of these minis already, so would like to work towards this!

Dwarves vs Vampire Counts

Hi all.

I have never played against Vampire Counts and I am a little skeptical of my chances vs them.

They will be playing the latest meta list (I don’t know if it is very good) and I am playing my own thing.

They have 1000 points in characters: master necro with scepter of noirot; necro acolyte in mortis eng.; vampire count on zombie dragon and BSB Wight lord.

Units: 27 graveguard; 20’+ 20 zombies; 5 dire wolves; 3 fell bats and one black coach and one terror heist.

I have 629 in characters: runelord with master rune of calm; thane BSB with master rune of swiftness, 2x rune of fury and master rune of grugni; Rambo dwarf with crossbow.

Units: 20 warriors with rune of battle; 10 rangers; 10 thunderers with shields and great weapons.

2 cannons; 3 gyros with clattergun; 11 iron breakers with cinderbombs, rune of confusion and two detachments of 7 irondrakes each.

What is the play? I would appreciate your views.

Map is not open field but it has some spaces for gun lines.

Regards.

TitanForge dwarves

I recently found there was a Kickstarter/Gamefound for a physical release of these models a couple years ago, but of course pledges are closed now. Does anyone know where to find the minis and not the STLs?

First Slayer finished

Hi all, after my Warcraft inspired rangers I’ve moved onto some slayers. Finished my first model, this will be 11th painted mini so go easy on me. Painting gems is a lot harder that the YouTube tutorials make it looks.

Experience using Ironbreakers

Been working on building and painting my Dwarfs army, but I haven't played a game yet. I've always loved Ironbreakers, how's everyone's experience using them? I remember hearing some grumbling during the early days of The Old World.

I go by rule of cool with my army so I'll probably still paint them up and use them, but still curious to hear from battle hardened veterans.

That's going in the book!

I finally paint one of my favourite KO mini and I'm quite happy with this angry dawi pointing something in his book of grudges of codes

New player question on builds

Hi folks

Looking for some advice- just got the quarrellers box and planning to build half as rangers and half as thunderers (already have thunderers).

Would people generally build those units with standard and musician or not? Thinking will build for each as looks cool but when playing are they better without them to keep units cheaper?
