1500 pts HE siege defense
Posted: Thu May 20, 2010 12:31 pm
As a follow-up to a pitched 1500 pts battle vs. Empire (which was a win, massacre), I'm going to be fighting a 1500 vs 3000 pts defensive siege battle. Having never fought a siege battle, I'm looking for some advice on my choices.
My biggest fear is great cannons blowing a massive hole in my walls, followed up by steam tank charges.
Would like to include my MVP units from my last battle - being a noble BSB with reaver bow/ToL, and 14 FC white lions. We're playing no SCs except that I'm allowed to upgrade my WL champion to Korhil, since he cut down 2 enemy characters in 2 combat phases. Will Korhil be worthwhile?
Confronted with the possibly massive amount of artillery he can bring - I'm also wondering about my rare choice composition. Will I be in deep shit without eagles?
Characters focusing on magic defense, both casting 3-dice drain magic each phase, hopefully enough DD to deal with the bound spells and prayers. - sensible?
mage
lvl 2, annulian crystal

Got some points to spare, more SM/WL? Any other critiscism or advice is more than welcome, and tailoring against empire is a must, I have no qualms about that
