This a 2,000 pt ERRANTRY WAR list I drafted up to take on my friend's Dwarf army when I get back home from college next week. He doesn't ever use an anvil and magic never works against him, so there are no Damsels... at all. I am intentionally going to try and avoid his Ironbreakers and Hammerers. Again, I emphasize, ERRANTRY WAR!

Basic Strategy here:
Use the M@A and Grail Reliquae as cannon fodder and screening units. Keep the knight units out of range on the flanks until about turn four and just let my trebuchet pound away at his clusters of units. Then, when the opportunity comes, hit him hard and fast in the late game, aiming for weaker units of Dwarf warriors while my PK keep his war machines occupied. Try and bog down Ironbreakers in combat with GR. Hopefully, the strength of my KE combined with the unit smashing power of my lord should allow me to at least ride roughshod over one unit. The BSB is purposefully set up to be the leader of the cannon fodder knights, thanks to his rolling abilities with the Valorous Standard. What do you guys think? I'm sick of my friend gloating about how great his Dwarfs are and I would really like to just unleash a huge can of whoop-ass on him.

Illegal!!
Virtue of Knightly Temper -> No magic weapons, so no heartwood lance!
Also illegal:
Valorous Standard-> knights units only so not on a BSB!

Just weird:
Virtue of stoicism does the same as the special rule of the BSB does.
And there is no rerolling a reroll so the virtue is quite worthless on a BSB

No musicians at all? That's a brave choice.. you regret this if CR is tied and the Dwarf has a musician!

M@A's feel weird in this list, I would think a big fat unit of skirmishing bowmen would help this list more..

Cound't agree more and arent you suppose to have a unit of KoTR unless you are playing an unofficial rule.

NO, The man said ERRANTRY WAR!
That's a special list without the compulsory KOTR unit

Oh you're right! Thanks for pointing it out. I totally missed that in the fine print. I'll change it up at bit then and then post something updated. And I also forgot about the BSB allowing the re-roll. It's been almost a year and a half since I last played. Whoooooppsss.

As for the musicians, I'm not to worried. He's never taken musicians in the past. The thing about bowmen is they never seemed to do anything against dwarfs, what with the armor saves they have and the high toughness.

Here's the updated Errantry War. I took away Heartwood Lance and replaced it with the Cuirass of Fortune (I want wounds!!!!) I also gave the BSB the Banner of the Lady to negate his Dwarven ranks in combat. The M@A I did replace with a huge skirmishing unit of Bowmen to hold the center and just cause general mayhem with their puny arrows. Plus, they'll give him something to shoot at. I also threw in musicians on all but on of the KE units. Strategy remains the same.

Just to let you know, I used this army last night in a game against Dwarfs with very successful results. The Dwarf army was surprisingly un-shooty, with only an organ gun and two groups of thunderers. I got the charge with all of my units and rode roughshod over two large Longbeard regiments and a regiment of warriors, completely ignoring the Hammerer's with the Lord in them. My Grail Reliquae did its job, killing off a unit of Thunderers and tying down a unit of Ironbreakers for almost the entire game. The Pegasus Knights took out the organ gun with ease. I lost only one knight unit, the one with my Lord in it, since they got charged from behind by the Hammerers after they failed to pursue off the board and thus fled. The Trebuchet did nothing and misfired on the second turn, leading to it being removed. The PB acted as a huge fire suck for a Gyrocopter and the Thunderers and prevented the organ gun from blowing me to bits. All and all, great success with minimal knightly casualties!
