Lots of people seem to trivialize unit upgrades by mentioning Accuracy but I have never had one show up when I wanted it to, and when it does then it is most likely lowering my damage.

I find them a curse, the elven archers roll 2 blues with precision and they turn up all the time. I'd actually be happy if people started taking grayhaven channeller as that means less room for that goddamn dispatcher runner or lance corporal .

We had a guy running Kari and Fortuna's Dice and just use her to assassinate figure upgrades. It pretty much shut figure upgrades down for us for a while. Now with more variety and more armies, we are bringing them back

I'm not that guy, but I might be a distant relation as that's about what I do as well.

Since I've started running Deathcallers pretty regularly, Deepwood Archers have been a thorn in my side for exactly this reason.

So, my grand plan is to take Mistlands Saboteur in reaction to everybody taking non-figure upgrades to avoid having them sniped.

And then I realized Mistlands Saboteur is a figure upgrade, and will be sniped out. Back to the drawing board.

I'll be using precise icons to make it a bad day for the grayhaven channeller to have left the office.

I look forward to your bloody archers moving closer to my cavalry in order to get in range. It will be a welcome change :)

My general mentality on characters is all or nothing.

I either take no characters, thus not caring about being sniped, or i have 2-3 of them. Aggressive Cornicen is usually the first thing sniped because it lets me speed4 charge with my spearmen while also using a Skill (Hexer for instance) or my Lance Corporal/Weapon Master just abusing the fact i got a faster charge at an init people are usually unable to deal with, as im too far to charge first and the init is too slow for a dialed in "counter attack"

Never take 1 character. Unless its a Rallying Cornicen in a 2x1 behind your main units...its probably safe anyway

At 4 points the Artifact Champions aren't bad for an additional 6 damage soak
