Can somebody explain how an effective gunline should work against horde armies like Ratmen or gobbos with hundreds of models?

Template weapons, Since your playing dwarfs, grudge throwers are good. Also cannon penetrate ranks. In addition gunlies bring a lot of shooting, as dwarfs is all str 4 shooting. Most horde armies are t3 so you wound and kill quite easily. Therefore lots of panic tests.

I am so going for 3 cannons 1 with a ME also a grudge thrower,and 3 units of Quarellers with GW and 2 units of Thunderers maybe a bolt thrower.

Make sure to throw some runes on those bad boys! a personal favourite of mine is the Rune of penetrating on the grudge thrower, especially since 8th edition made stone throwers weaker. that +1 str is awesome!
