    I’ve been playing a “push the big block unit up the board” lately in concert with the anvil.
    I was having issues dispelling because they’d keep their wizard out of range.
    So I started using a basic runesmith with plate and shield and dropping the spellbreakers on him. It does take a few points away from elsewhere but stopping those spells hitting the big block has been invaluable.

    Could we have a video with visuals showing how to deploy these units and in what formation (For example 8x2, etc). As well as some tips on offensive and defensive deployments?
    I've always shied away from using large groups of Irondrakes or Rangers due to not knowing how I should organize and deploy such large units. It'd be great to see how you go about deploying and setting up each unit in some scenarios.

    • @Dawiafterdark
      @Dawiafterdark  2 месяца назад +4

      I’m going to be doing a run down of the event , and showing deployments why I’ve deployed like that and will run through tactics used in those games aswell , so keep an eye out for that one , it does take a while to get used to the bigger ranged units but that video should be able to help out :)

  • @thedanish5523
    @thedanish5523 2 месяца назад +2

    I also absolutely rate the tanky BSB!
    I like Courage but typically I like it on a unit that doesn't get access to Veteran re-rolls, like Rangers or Ironbreakers! Those units have critical jobs to fill in my lists and I don't want to get one unlucky roll on Ld9 that messes everything up! So I can totally see taking it for a Drakestar
    Otherwise, I'm usually buying Veteran on my warriors, and Hammerers, and of course Longbeards come with it baseline.
    I know folks don't typically like bolt throwers, but I've played with two sometimes, no runes, and I like them. Drop them on either flank, and they can plink shots all game. If they get one good hit into ranked up cav or monsters they do some great damage. If my opponent dedicates resources to taking it out, that's fine, it's just 55 points. Only trouble is they're not strong enough to counter-battery fire enemy gunlines, or to force someone to come to you, so I think they're best in a combat royal clan list with an anvil and Bugman's cart

    • @Dawiafterdark
      @Dawiafterdark  2 месяца назад +1

      @@kongeb8004 thank you ! So they are large target hunters , as they can always see them over units you can get direct hits in them and on the larger base sizes a 2 and sometimes a 4 inch scatter is a direct hit in some directions, but to be honest they are more of a deterrent for your opponents to hide heros and not rush forward , the point of them is they make your opponents make mistakes or you can punish them , they are more psychological component in your army than damage output

    Do you have any suggestions for how AOS players who were playing Disposessed but rebased their armies for TOW should expand or build their armies? For example, I have a bunch of ironbreakers, hammerers, irondrakes, and longbeards, and a few gyrocopters/bombers, but not much else. Is there anything that's like a must-get to add? Or how would I go about using these units as a cohesive army?

    • @Dawiafterdark
      @Dawiafterdark  Месяц назад

      So I would run royal clans , run the longbeards as your core , irondrakes are great take a couple of units of ten , and take a nice wedge of hammerers to put a hero in :) you need a runesmith to put spell breaker runes on , then either a bsb or a king to be your tanky hero and then just a couple of grudge throwers or bolt throwers and your good to go :)

    Curious on why thunderers instead of quarrellers? My feeling is that the added cost for the thunders isn't worth it for just the -1AP especially since you only get Armor Bane 1 instead of 2 like the crossbows. And on top of it crossbows have the longer range.

      @Dawiafterdark  2 месяца назад

      @@KevinHollon so for me I find thunderers better at actually sneaking some wounds through ap1 compared to the native ap zero of the quarrellers translates to a lot more wounds done on the tabletop , as for range most armies rush you apart from wood elves ,tomb king and empire so I just find the in built ap 1 much handier :)
