One of the best video I have seen in the last 8 years about Total War Warhammer. Clear, easy to follow (english isn't my first language), really informative. You should have 100.000 eubscribers.
I think the grudge throwers are viable all the way to the late game. Very strong artillery piece with better range than the organ gun and flame canon. Wont struggle with line of sight as well, like the organ gun. Organ gun does way more dmg of course and its better for the target prioritization. I use the grudge throwers mainly for clearing out enemy archers and then infantry. I also like hammerers... offensive infantry to reinforce whatever needs to be reinforced.
They are also invaluable to take out enemy catapults that likewise out-range your higher tier artillery. Like Skaven Plagueclaws or Greenskin Doomdivers.
Good job. But I would definitely add 2 units of Hummerers in mid-late game armies. They're now better black orks. Also, you lack long range arlillery and infantry in the late game. Range-focused armies will outshoot you, and skaven with their plagueclaw catapults will destroy your infantry. You need bugman rangers for that, as well as gyrobombers.
Some solid advice here! I've never really played with Bugman's rangers much outside of playing as Belegar. I did mention the gyrobombers a couple times ;) but it is worth repeating especially in the case of fighting against Skaven. I'll have to put together some demo battles against Skaven armies too. I've never really found a need for Hammerers myself though. They got some beneficial changes in game 3 but I still feel like they're not aligned with typical Dwarf play. You compare them to Black Orcs - but when do you need a unit that functions in the same way? Dwarfs generally don't have to make an offensive push against enemies in the same way late-game Greenskins armies would.
@@itsmehawkeyeg I honestly enjoy employing Hammerers as the replacement for the flank-defending Slayers you to use here, mostly with Thorgrim because I do enjoy the "Royal Guard" flavour of it. They do a decent job, even if they don't move as fast and smooth as the slayers. Once they're done, swoop and charge them around and in for a puntastic Hammer'n'Anvil.
Shame they changed target prioritization so irondrake units get focused to death in every battle. Guess you can somewhat abuse this by just having them run backwards to drag enemy artillery into organ gun range and use belegars -1 global recruit time to replace them if they get wiped out.
Yeah that's why i wanted to bring it up, they're a great unit but they can lose value pretty easily if you're not careful to watch them. I do still find them extremely valuable for the Dwarfs though. If you bring them to the right matchups like Skaven Greenskins or Lizardmen they'll perform really well and help you overcome other obstacles. They can work great in sieges too with all the narrow corridors. But they get focused down pretty badly too. Especially in the skirmish vs AI it seems worse! But that could just be anecdotal
You deserve more subs. These army comp videos are so good and I haven't found anyone else doing them in such depth.

It is completely out of date now though sadly. Was a good video at the time. Hopefully he remakes it for the new players coming in now.

Why Bugmans instead of Quarrelers? Are Bugmans that much more hard hitting?
@@VenomQuartz no, they are tougher in shootout agains other ranged, have regen, and can be used to flank with their stalk

and for auto resolve?
Great Job
