Guv's Dwarf Ranger Marksmen unit

Description
(DISCLAIMER, This unit has been updated from Dwarf Rangers to Dwarf Ranger Marksmen)

Greetings! 2nd unit for Dwarfs!

Ever wondered what it would be to have a skirmisher unit for the dwarfs? Like, a dwarf unit that moves between the trees and rains arrows upon you and realised you just got flanked by some stunty dwarfs? Well then this is exactly what you need!

I present to you, Dwarf Ranger Marksmen!

My goal here is to make a viable unit for vanilla Warhammer as best as I can. I've been playtesting.. playtesting and finally playtesting this unit to figure out how to balance such a unit for the dwarfs. It actually wasn't a easy task as the dwarfs have a very bulky playstyle and usually plays around the fact that they are a slow killing machine. This unit however is meant to be played from the flanks to cut down and shoot their weak forces. I can't for sure say how balanced this is but I'd say around 75-85% balanced :).

PS: For you who wonders if the AI will flank, yes, I have been flanked by this unit is custom battles. Not sure on campaign battles but it shouldn't make a difference.

Pro's and Con's:

Pros

+ Like Rangers, But armor piercing missiles!
+ slightly higher melee attack than the Rangers!

Cons

- No shields. Get's beaten by Quarrellers.
- More expensive than the Rangers. recruitment(675) and upkeep(165)

@Seikou There are no "Normal marksmen". This is an unique unit coming with Rangers. This ranger unit is armour piercing long missiles and to stand out from Thunderers, they now have no shield :) But they are faster and have stalk like Rangers.

can you make this Dwarf rangers Marksmen with shields ?, because the normal marksmen have shields too. :)

No worries! I comepletely understand if you just dont feel like it. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there since I cant seem to figure it out myself. Im glad to see you agree with me though. Those miners just instantly crumble as soon as a giant or anything large gets involved and I feel like something shielded and with charge defense may help. Thanks for the reply!

@Shankapotomus74 I strive to make my units as lorefriendly as possible, but at the same time I want it to be a bit in between. Look at my "black knight hellsteeds" for instance. The unit itself would fit, but they do not exist in the tabletop or written anywhere in the lore. Sure, a low tier ironbreaker unit doesn't exist whatsoever. Infact, miners (blasting chargers) take that position. But in theory, a low tier ironbreaker unit would make sense, am I right? Sure they wouldn't be near as powerful but might have that midrange role as Ironbreakers have.

Right now I have not been in the mood for modding. So I may or may not. You're free to add me if you want thought.

Hey Guv, I really like the units you've put out so far, I am a huge fan of the dwarves and play them 95% of the time and use your units in every playthrough. If you ever have some free time and are interested I was thinking of a neat unit that could be implemented. I was thinking either dwarf warriors with blasting charges or maybe something in between longbeards and dwarf warriors that can act as a low tier iron breaker unit. I tried to do it myself but unfortunately I am not very good at modding! I understand its not a very lore friendly unit but I personally think it would be cool. Thanks for your time and the awesome units you have already made!
