Recently I've played a game with a frontline carrion lancer on my 3x3 reanimate block and it felt like useless upgrade. Thats because reanimates use red dice, do even with blighted standard i hardly ever roll surges for thise extra mortal strikes. do you think that in the future there will be a waiqar infantry with blue dice that could properly use frontline carrion?
front line vs suport carrion lancer.
It's likely an option for Ardus to get the ability from if you do not have a need to take soloworms or you want some redundancy.
It could also work with Moment of Inspiration or Ardus figure upgrade (or both if you're into that) - both add a white die.
Someone I think mentioned they were using them in two 3x2s with the extra upgrade slots from Ardus, along with File Leader and Moments of Inspiration.
Edited by PoldaYes, I think there will be such a unit in the future. In the meantime, rolling with Ardus in your infantry block - yeah, @Polda beat me to it.
Edited by Parakitormy plan was to build 2 units of 3x2 reanimates bith with frontline carrion lancer and 2 units of archers that will dish out blight but i guess i have to take moment of inspiration on thise reanimates now to benefit that surge results. of course i also need ardus that will allow me to take lancers in 3x2 blocks.
The other possibility is Fallen Hero + Fortuna's Dice...but that's 10 points to flip one red die to hit+surge, and then it's exhausted. I don't think it's worth the points, but we might as well explore all options while we're brainstorming. Oh, and it's unique, so only one of your blocks can have it. I bet you'd get more mileage out of Reaping Blade, but that doesn't synergize with blight at all. If you're going for moral strikes, though, it will keep the high-defense units honest.
