Why Play The Dwarven Holds

Games Workshops original Dwarfs of middle earth, though not as fancy looking as Erbor or the Iron Hills they still shine in their own way, being cheaper to collect and with the most units to pick from you can create a fair few different lists. Not to mention that your army list can gain more units when you take Balin as you leader.

Pros

• Plenty of unit options
• High Defence all around
• good amount of long range options

Cons

• no spears for standard infantry
• Poor design, some of these dwarfs designs look straight out from GW'S own fantasy warhammer not something youd imagine from tolkien world.

Army Bonus

Any Dwarf with the Moria or Khazad-dum keyword may re-roll to wounds rollf of 1 when fighting in close combat.
