As such I am going to use this as an opportunity to try some stuff out. Last week it was an ambushing unit of 25 Gors (got eaten by a warsphinx) this week Im going to try out the carpet bull. Doombull, carpet, charmed shield, amulet of 4+,heavy armor Wargor 206 Lvl1 beasts Lvl 1 shadows 39 Gors AHW FC 2x 5 raiders razorgor 25 beastigor FC+ banner of discipline It comes to 1500 on the nose Any refinements that folks see?

Grab any easy points hanging around there on turn 2 and look for the back end of anything engaging the blocks moving up. I think the threat of him may cause opponents to over commit to stopping him and allow my blocks much more freedom of movement. Im fairly confident that things like the ogre cav which just wreck my lines will do their best to avoid the bad boy. Ethereal is a drag though. I could drop the charmed shield and take the 5 plus ward instead to grab a small magic sword and regular shield and then take the helm of hitting you on armor-saves. 3+ /5++ and a bonus attack for every save made makes him a bit more killy and I doubt ill see many multi-cannon lists.

He chewed through rank and file but an ethereal character challenged him and he was toast. At this low points magic wasnt to much of an issue. Still versus lvl 3's Dispells were tough and perhaps a single lvl 2 with a ring might have worked a tad better for me. A lvl 2 beasts could hold up a bit better defensively and having the fireball from the ring could make my magic just as versatile. Let me know how it works for you. I enjoyed it a great deal.
