Hey All,

Asking for some advice! My primary opponent has gotten good at maneuvering his 9 tray or spearmen so that he no longer gives up turns for me to blight the bejeezus out of his spear star while it's trapped behind terrain and his own units. So it's gotten really hard to deal with.

My initial response has been to continue with a block of 6 trays of reanimates supported by flankers of either Ardus or lancers that could counter charge, if they don't get blocked or taken out themselves. This so far hasn't been super effective, but I think I can tighten it up with practice. But I'm all ears for other ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Ankaur Maro with Fortuna's Dice and some Reanimates with Executioner and Aggressive Drummer + Raven Tabards.

Attack the spearstar with Maro, dial in a Mortal Strike, use Fortuna's Dice to assure an Accuracy, wound the big golem dude.

Reanimates charge with Aggressive Drummer, hit the spearstar, do their damage, trigger their skill and POP no more golem.

After that it's just a matter of grinding the poor little buggers to dust.

It can be hard to get that charge in against the spearmen. Raven Tabards + Aggressive Drummer helps a lot. It's important to deny him any of those huge, threat 5 mega attacks though.

What about Blighted Vexillum Bearer and Lingering Dead? Guaranteed 1 blight to remove a die when he attacks, and lingering dead ensures you counter attack full if he manages to hit first?

Any trouble raining blight on him while he's in combat? The charge can hurt, but once you get the unit tied up you should be able to put enough blight on it to curb its damage quite considerably. Also, assassinating the citadel weapons master brings the overall damage of the unit down quite a bit.

4x3 reanimates with Ardus embedded, 3x2 reanimates behind that with maro embedded, add some archers and lingering dead on the 4x3. The spearstar won't last against a regenerating blob.

An easy 18 tray set up Super affective though. Add some things like lingering dead, and executioner and blighted vexxillum and voila you have a serious killing machine. Also archers and a couple lancers pending available points.

Fight fire with fire. Play Daqan
