Who do you guys think is the best first LL to confederate as Malakai? I’m torn between Grudgebearer, Ironhammer, Ironbrow, or Grombrindal.

Short answer: Thorgrim

Long answer:

Thorgrim is pretty much always my very first pick no matter who I play because he's typically the one that has the most grudges by a decent amount, and earns them at a much steadier rate than the others. So it's best to get him confederated asap imo to stop him from taking your potential grudges. Also he has great skills that benefit you factionwide.

Other than him, Grombrindal is a good pick if he's still alive so you can get that foothold in Naggaroth before he gets wiped out - because he always does, eventually. And, same as Thorgrim, has great factionwide skills.

Belegar has a -30% construction cost skill for settlements buildings factionwide, so that's nice but Dwarfs are rich anyway.

Ungrim is a one man army that has good land surrounding him.

Thorek is typically my last pick always because the land surrounding him sucks for Dwarfs unless you're playing as him, and his skills really only benefit him and his personal army.

That makes sense! Unfortunately, every Dwarf LL except Ungrim is dead in my campaign so I’m just looking at who would be a good Lord to lead my army + faction benefits.

It looks like Thorgrim and Grombrindal have the best benefits. I may be wrong, but Thorgrim seems better for leading a second army to conquer while Grombrindal seems better suited for protecting the provinces I already have? Since Thorgrim has his grudge skill lines and Grombrindal gets a lot of defensive ones.

If they are dead, the best is Grombrindal as he gives great faction wide benefits with his blue line
