I am wondering how valid my playstyle of the last few games is (generally vs warriors/ogres/vampires/high elves, would not apply vs dwarves/empire/?). The thought behind it is that, while I generally play a bit agressive, I notice that A) high magic isnt cutting it (mainly vs highly armored units/multiple wound stuff), and B) I generally play quite a bit agressive, but notice that my positioning lacks because of it and I cannot optimally use my redirectors. Comments and thoughts are appreciated.
My idea was to play a bit more passive (@ 2k pts, but would apply to 2.4k too) with a lvl 4 slaan with Heavens, and a lvl 2 with beasts. I try to position my temple guard (20) and Saurus warriors (30) side by side with the bastilodon in the center of it. They always slightly point towards each other that if any is charged, the other can flank. On the side/front I have my redirectors (2xskink skirmishers) and an ancient stegadon/scar vet. Somewhere behind enemy lines or in front is a unit of 7x skirmish scout elites too.
This way I feel that I can, against most armies, make them come to me, while I shoot and magic them down and prevent my magic from doing much as I get into combat. The S5/S6 hits really help me a lot. Moreover, vs dwarves and empire it would be AWESOME to have access to comet.
My worries are the lack of magical buffs/debuffs though, and I am not convinced yet. Just wondering what people here would think. Im just increasingly unhappy with high magic
