I count 34, not 39. But it looks pretty potent.

I would consider using Dwarf Rangers with bows in the army.
They are 1 point more, and with 1 less defence, however they hit on a 3+ instead of 4+ and have a better range.

They also have 1 less strength than Dwarf warrior with bows.

You know I think i resign from making a dwarf army, I like the idea of a woses army at the moment, so I might do that instead. Thanks for all the help anyways guys.

Do they?
I have the Khazad-Dum book and they have the same strength.
unless you mean the strenth of the bow, then you are right, seems a bit weird that you have to pay 3 points for a normal bow.

Dwarf longbows are the same as normal bows. And, yes, there's been a lot of discussion of why a bow costs 3 points for a dwarf ranger but if you think about if, it makes sense, paying extra points for a priority you don't use is stupid and they should be 1 point more than dwarf warriors with bows so IMHO it is balanced.
