Hey guys, Got an upcoming battle with some Brets. 4000 points of glorious lizards against shiny, overbearing, and pretentious knights with a god complex. Thinking about running my slann with lore of metal. Going to run at least 2 30+ units of Saurus with hand weapons (I prefer the parry save) and maybe sneak a scar vet in each. Cold ones (my fav) and maybe an old blood on a carno. Not sure what else to run. Suggestions?
Hey there, I'm wondering if rippers would be a good bet taking advantage of the killing blow and armour piercing? Krox may be a good bet as well. Nick
I have some limited experience vs brets. 1) U will need some counter-treb units - rippers and chameleons 2) They WILL charge u, and bret's power is in lance formation. So - saurus will be better with spears. May be even Gor-Rok. 3) In most cases they will have Lady's Blessing, so Other Trickster's Shard is what u need (just place your units smart) 4) They have easy access to heroic killing blow, so take care about your monster units and heroes, and if challenged by such a hero - use your champion. 5) Had no test, but may be some razordons vs cav.
I realize it is late, but just wanted to say thanks for your help. I pulled off a solid victory. HKB was there, but I was able to avoid it. Rippers did great taking out the Treb and I used lore of beasts to boost my Krox. They went toe to toe with his Grail Train and killed most of them. There were only a handful left when I hammered a steg into them. Thanks again!
