-Noble (2 Hammers) -Engineer (Crossbow,Hammer) -Trollslayer (Dwarven Axe, hammer) -Trollslayer (2 hammers) -3 Thunderers (Crossbow,Hammer) 3gc left What can I say, ... I really like hammer . After my first battle I would try to get helmets for everyone except Trollslayers (heroes first of course), even before lucky charms and rabbit feet if your group uses them). Then a brace of pistols for my Noble. Then lucky charms and rabbit feet. Then, as soon as my Trollslayers get a skill increase Master of Blades and more Dwarven axes for them (remember that other heroes can also look for these weapons, with rare 8 one search round should do the trick). Give their hammers to new crossbow wielding Thunderers. When unlucky on the first round of LGT rolls then buying henchman (Thunderers) would get a higher priority of course. Best performance from a dwarf warband (that I heard about) was maxed on heroes (with minimum equipment), then maxed on beardlings with daggers. The player used the beardlings to protect the heroes, then when they got killed off he/she (can't remember) replaced them with thunderers with crossbows.
