Lots of great discussion on cards. I want to pick your brains regarding deployment strategy. What game boards do you favor and why? What are your goals with objective placement? Do you place your models aggressively, or hang back as well as who do you put out front?
Right now I favor the Crypt or Blue/Statue boards. The blocked hexes on Wall or Staircase boards seem like they'd impede our mobility as well as limiting objective placement.
I've been experimenting with how tight I can pack 3 objectives. You can place them in a triangle, but 2 corners have to be 3 hexes apart. If you place them horizontally in a line you can keep them exactly 2 spaces apart. You can also slant the line if your opponent offsets the boards to create a chokepoint. The goal is to keep each objective just outside your opponents threat range, but close enough to collapse the warband in turn 2 for the fight.
As for deployment I'm trying to keep Garrek and possibly Targor in charge range of 1 enemy model. The hope is an Ork, Stormcast, or Reaver takes the bait and over commits. With 3 models on objectives while still being in charge range they can pounce turn 2 and start to do damage with upgrades and support bonuses.
I'm interested in any critique as well as hearing about your general game plans.
