I might be thinking about this wrong but if you have 2 FLSHs , use the command ability on one and the cloak on the second. Use the command ability first on a target, then the one with the cloak second.
This sounds like it might combine well with a second FL on stonehorn with the doppelgänger’s cloak? Seems like a potential answer for the activation wars...?
I ignore iron fists and go paired weapons. Anything with rend will shut off the MWs of the iron fists. As far a icons I’d include the flag with lookout grot before including the skull
Any advice for playing against FEC at 1K ( not using meeting engagement rules)? My list:
HOD
sorcerer with blades of putrifacftion
2 units of Blightkings
40 marauders
warshrine
suffocating gravetide
Maybe they will serve a similar role as griff hounds? Or Aetherwings? Or maybe you’ll be able to allocate wounds to them(if they are included with a unit of ogors)?
Since you’re running a butcher and the life swarm for potential heals you might want consider the Ethereal Amulet on your FL, where as the pelt can only be used in your hero phase the amulet will ignore rend always. In the end it will more than likely prevent your FL from taking more wounds than the pelt will heal.
I agree with you’re assessment, it’s probably better to go all in on the allegiance abilities. Where I have struggled is protecting my objectives after I’ve rushed my army up the board
Agreed 2+ to hit puke attack is better, and no synergies is less optimized. My thought was to use the rockguts 5+ save 5+ ignore to add some survivability.
Thanks for the advice. I did recently use the ethereal amulet on my Frost lord and it massively improved his staying power. I’ll definitely try to keep in smaller groups going forward.
Has anyone considered allying in 2 units of troggoths to help add some additional melee support? Compared to mournfang( they are both 160 pets) They seem to have more damage potential than what we have access to:
What is your target priority or strategy for these thundertusk heavy lists?
The trouble I have experienced when playing the objective based scenarios is that my army tends to get too spread out to do any significant damage. It’s also at this point that my army gets dissected unit by unit....
