I think it comes down to whether the Storm Banner holds up for more than one turn, whether we can shoot the Abomination before it murders whole units and whether the dreaded 13th goes off. We can deal with the Furnace, Bell and Doomwheel in combat, and shut down much of the magic phase, but if the HPA makes it to our line (especially with 8 deep Slaves to remove Steadfast) and/or the Grey Seer gets off the 13th more than once and we can't stop it, then it's likely to be a Skaven win. That's been my experience anyway. All I can say is thank god that Censor Bearers aren't that flash anymore!<br /><br />My other main concern are Gutter Runners. Dwarves only have two 'dimensions', combat and shooting, so to lose one to Poisoned skirmishers is crippling.<br /><br />You're right though, 8th Edition is much better, and I guess I'm still coming to grips with the fact that yes, I can actually charge.....<br /><br />Finally, my first post here, but not the last. A great blog Pete, and part of my required reading.
