And, considering he'd have to cast wither 3 times... per unit... it's definitely not as economical as dreaded 13th. I don't think wither is what I'd be worried about.

Unfortunately all good Empire players will probably end up taking a level 4 life wizard alongside Karl. Between flesh, regrowth and lifebloom grinding him down would be impossible.

Re: How do we deal with Karl Franz?

As far as I am concerned, Teclis with Dwellers, Final Trans, Pit of Shades and Purple Sun spamming test or die spells on him over and over again until a 6 is rolled is probably our best bet. Eventually the 6 will come with repeated castings.

Re: 50% Hero/Lord FAQ: How to Capitalize

You know I have flirted with the idea of running a Noble BSB Griffon with BotWD. The idea is a little out of left field I can admit, but having flying BotWD on a thunderstomping monster really screws over some matchups in our favour. Additionally, that WoC opponent won't be expecting the Griffon BSB...

Re: End Times: Elves? Speculation

Some kind of sneaky mercenary elf for hire would work for all 3 races without obliterating the fluff too much.

Frosties + Warlocks is broke as a joke, just pick a unit and make it permanently -2 strength. So hopefully it happens. :lol:

Re: Trying out Star Dragon at 2,500 lists.

Currently, you have 8 drops plus characters. To maximise your chances of getting first turn I find 6 drops(or maybe 7) plus characters to be optimal in a Star Dragon list. To this end I recommend you lower your number of core units from 5 to either 2 or 3, the exact makeup is entirely up to you. Ano...

(Not a brag) But I have played over 20 games this year with Teclis and not once has he died. The trick is simply to avoid combat and have loads of chaff.
