Although maybe that's still to the good, that they prevent the core units taking such a hiding for a bit. <br /><br />Splitting the marauders in two or more - hard to say. It takes longer to hit them all, of course, but I think I'd be losing a smaller unit every turn rather than one larger one over three turns. They're a more tempting target as a larger points block, I suppose. <br /><br />I was outplayed very effectively as well, East's got a lot more experience than me. It showed in deployment, rules knowledge and tactics throughout. <br /><br />I know spawn are pretty crap, but I did wonder about fielding a flank guard of two or three, maybe Tzeentched up so they might spew a bit of fire. Thoughts on that, East? Would that have put the wind up you any?

Both Kasfunatu and Leofa have High Elves, if you dare to try for the hat-trick...<br /><br />In terms of how to compete for mobility, I would suggesting using tooled-up characters on flying discs, or a winged daemon prince as a speedy threat (even if it's just to clean up the war machines and deny fast cavalry board dominance). Shaggoth and Giant are also pretty mobile, being single units with a good movement. I don't think you have to match the mobility of a fast cav army (i.e. paint up 30 Marauder Horsemen), just make it harder for them to have it all their own way.<br /><br />The core of warriors seems okay, they just seem a bit isolated when all their support gets cut away. I think the chariots work best as infantry support, and there's not much here that your infantry can't handle by themselves (if/when they get into combat), so maybe they're not the best pick.<br /><br />Another option would be to just flood the battlefield with Marauders - the enemy can't shoot everything, and when your units are everywhere, they're harder to outmanoeuvre.<br /><br />But I defer to General East for tactical nous - any thoughts?Stylushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706888762838294158noreply@blogger.com
