Potential 8th Edition Army List

This list is based on the force composition rumors I've read about 8th edition. I was only able to briefly flip through the rulebook at my local store so I did not get to read too much about the new rules (not to mention the redshirt kept on pestering me with questions). I did however notice rules for a dwarf zeppelin that mounts 5 (!!!!!!) organ guns on board. I'm keeping my fingers crossed a model gets made by Forgeworld.

I put together a 2500 pt list (that seemed to be the number that the shop said would be most common). This list is more or less based on models that I currently have.
Lords
Dwarf Lord -> Goes with the Hammerers
Shieldbearers and Shield
Master Rune of Smiting
Rune of Fury
Rune of Cleaving
Rune of Stone
Heroes
Thane -> I'm thinking with the Ironbreakers, but maybe the Longbeards?
BSB
Great Weapon and Shield
Strollaz's Rune

Master Engineer -> will go with Grudge Thrower
Great Weapon
Brace of Pistols
Rune of Stone
Core
24 Warriors
Full Command
Shields and Great Weapons

24 Longbeards
Full Command
Shields and Great Weapons
Rune of Stoicism

10 Thunderers
Shields and Great Weapons
Special
19 Ironbreakers
Full Command
Rune of Battle

17 Hammerers
Shields
Full Command

Cannon
Rune of Reloading
Rune of Forging

Grudge Thrower
Rune of Accuracy
2x Rune of Penetration
Rare
Organ Gun
Gyrocopter (but I hate the model so much I'm even considering the Flame Cannon)

Any thoughts on the list? I'd like to hear how you would deploy the blocks. What units could do with more (or less) as far as models/upgrades go?

Thanks for reading and posting!

  1. A decent looking list to me, plenty of meat to it. The one point to look at is I do not believe that the BSB can have a great weapon, shield and the battle standard. Unless the new rule set has issued an army wide ruling, you should still have to follow the army books. So far the dwarf rules state you cannot have a GW and the standard. =/
