Would you take a banner in a 400 points dwarf force? |

Yes, you need the re-rolls as you don't have access to spears. |

I always find the re-roll very useful. |

Yes, without a doubt. |

Depends who you're up against, but I always do. As has been mentioned, the lack of spear support makes it essential for a chance to win fights when you're 1 vs 2 rolls. |

Ye i tought so too but i play vs the dead and so i have superior fight of 4 vs 3 and furthermore they don't have spears. So in this case maybe it would be better to improve quantity. |

But they could get allies... but well in such low points Dead probably wont... instead of a banner take a horn, as Dead cause Terror, you are going to need that +1 courage boost... and it only cost 20 pts, so it isn´t such a huge investment... |

banners are a must for dwarves (well, there are incriedably helpful) and the horn vs the dead is super good so get both |

Fighting the Dead may be the one time wherer a banner is not that useful, as you have numbers and fight value, and niether side has spears. However, think of a hornblower aswell as it will also help tenfold; I'm not really sure which is best. |

no think about it, if neither side has spears, then having the banner bonus gives you a huge advantage over ur opponent |

But it also eats up a lot of points in such small numbered games... |

As already mentioned a Horn Blower would be useful against the Army of the Dead. Also, consider some Iron Guard. I know lots of Dwarf players ramble on about them, but they are really useful to make up for your lack of spears and could give you a good advantage against the Dead's single attacks.

The thing is i really hate the models and havent an idea on how to convert them yet... Iam more with the Khâzad guard in ways of design and playing.

i play with dwarfs in 400pt battles and i do!! keep him near heros like gimli and iron guard or khazad guard. then if by chance they beat you use re roll.e.g. if they got five you got 1,2,3 reroll 6 get 3 attacks with gimli own anyone

remember this only matters in draws so they can still easily win. i wouldent put in any archers because of their defence 8(6 then 5 to kill) maybe alot of rangers. 3 dwarfs on 1 should get you the result and gimli to take on his hero. |
