bonelock Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Playing my first 1,000 point battle next weekend. My opponent will be using overlords. Pimped out Ashcrypt with the anti-paladin bodyguard. Could use some suggestions battling this faction and assembling my army. Here's what I have for models: Khong-To Nai-Khannon Ra'am T'Kay Audt Ssaudi SSauthus Archers x6 Skull breakers x6 Longstrikers x6 Clutchlings x6 Warriors x9 Uru River Troll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellsgate Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 the Clutchlings, archers, and Uru are a must. At 1000pt I would proxy Kong-To as a Chai-Uut as Kong takes you back significantly in your model could as i discovered today i'd also say stay away from the longstrikers, maybe proxy them as some rangers. Nai-Khannon would also take you back a bit too much as well but the Ra'am should do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had originally put 2 Longstrikers in troop 1 but they are lackluster at best unless you are facing either hordes of troops or assassins where you'll learn to love the 360 SA.

Sivrel Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 that list seems pretty versatile which is a nice thing to have in Warlord so it might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonelock Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks for the suggestion Outkast Samurai. Curious why you pick Ssauthus over another Audt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivrel Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 you had two audts available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonelock Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 you had two audts available? Its' a casual game; I could probably proxy another figure for a second Audt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkast Samurai Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Because Ssathus has 360 and Rogue which comes in real nice when you can have him slide in behind your target and get that +2 rear bonus. Then if someone tries to get into your rear base side to prevent getting defensive struck its nice to inform them that you don't have a rear side and then roll to hit them back.

bonelock Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 thanks! Which troop should carry the totem? Any suggestions of tactics against the o-lords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 no troop "carries" the totem, unless you want them to, but usually, you just plunk it down in the corner of the table, or some spot that is tough to get to and leave it there. Tactics against Olords? Well, both are fairly well matched in that for the most part both a melee based groups. Olords are very balanced between elites, adepts, grunts, and solos. They really have a ton of options in how they can approach any given battle. Which in turn makes it diificult to suggest what strategy to take againt them. I guess the two best suggestions I could really make are: 1. concentrate on making a good solid list of your own. 2. once the models are deployed, do a good thorough job of recognizing what your opponent is fielding, and make your strategy at that point. If there is Balthon the priest, be wary of a possible teleport... If there is the Wyvern, obviously there are poison issues to deal with If there are crossbows, then keep in mind their ability to rank up behind others and fire. Lich Warlord has a high CP. Cavalry are fast... duh :) Remember their leaders have the ability to transfer damage to surrounding henchlings. Again, just too well balanced to give any specific advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonelock Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Really basic question here, where is the spell or enhancement Divine Favor from? I can't seem to find it in the Warlord Rule book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Check to see if you have a first or second printing of the rulebook; if you have a first printing, you won't find Divine Favor. If you do have a 2nd printing, it is the very last piece of equipment, immediately following the spells section. As an ammendmant to Stubb's post, that ability of leaders to redirect damage only works on your defensive strikes, so feel free to pound away on the leader as much as possible during your own attacks. Also, depending on what model the leader has in B2B with it, attacking the leader on the defensive strike may still be a good idea, as the situation dictates. ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooseyjoe Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 GRRRRRRRR It's too quiet in here. Since I left for college, the lizards don't get to come out much. I have to live vicariously through you guys. Come on, tell me how the warfare goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
