Why more Dwarven spear chuckers?

Probably because a circular formation with spears was the answer to the English cavalry. I don’t remember the name of the unit now but as far as i know, groups of Scots, trained to move and battle in tight circles with spears, beat the crap out of the English cavalry while they were sent just to delay them

42 figures is something, too bad that there are many dwarves. I think that having too many bold units makes the game less tactical.

I belive one reason for more spear dwarvs is that we need a sertain number of units to make it possible for an all dwarf deployment deck.

The circular formation with spears was called a schiltron although, to confuse matters more, schiltrons did not necessarilly have to be circular.
I just love the wee Aberdeen Angus coos and am now inspired to quote Scotland’s other poet, the great McGonnagle:
As ah wis walkin doon a road,
Ah saw a coo… A bull by Goad!
(For the purists amongst you, bull is pronounced to rhyme with gull)

This is, of course, the most appropriate way for dwarves, Scots or otherwise, to be seen!
