Floi is a dark horse and can shut down any nasty Hero with his Special Rule (My favorite is turning off the Undying and then inflicting a single wound to see him flee back into the darkness). Gimli remains a wrecking machine as he used to be before and a good all-round combat Hero. He also lets you play a tactical game with his special rule of re-rolling Priority which can easily win you a game in certain situations. Balin and Gimli have always been my favourite Heroes for the Dwarves and although Balin has taken a bit of a pounding in the new rules, he is still one of the cheapest Heroes of Legend in the game. You also have 3 very different types of Heroes. Your vanguard remains strong with lots of Defense 7 and Strength 4 troops. You have a reasonable amount of Strength 3 bows and a Ballista to try and force your opponent to engage you. This list at a higher points level can give you a little more of everything. Don’t let this fool you however, as the “Dwarves are very dangerous over short distance”. Some of the weaknesses however include lack of cavalry, bow superiority and their universal 5-inch movement. The Dwarf Heroes also give you a great combination of high Defense, Courage and Fight Value. Bodyguard makes your Khazads auto-pass Courage Tests, which is invaluable when fighting Terror causing foes or standing by your Lord to the last man to try and swing a game in the dying turns. The jewel in the crown for any dwarven forces however is having some of the best elite troops in the game - Khazad Guard and Iron Guard! Having Strength 4 in any troop choice in the Forces of Good is rare and incredibly powerful. However, it is much more themed and in my opinion both much more enjoyable to play and more rewarding to win with! The strength of the Dwarves comes mainly from their high Defence, usually as high as 7.
With the new edition, the list has been split and there are even more challenges to make a Dwarven list now than ever before.
The Kingdom of Khazad-Dum as they are now called encompasses both the forces of Khazud-Dum and Moria.
