Kill all chaos shitters.

TRUE KING OF EIGHT PEAKS

Kill yourself instead.

Do not talk to the tripfag

Ded general, need March 31st

For the fag having trouble with VC when playing as empire.
Right so I usually fight the undead around the early mid game. I'll take a couple of mortars and a cannon. Halbrediers, swordsmen, crossbows and some knights preferably reiksguard. Also a couple units of flagellants.

Chances are you'll be doing this bit with Franz or your LL so even better. Especially if it's Franz on his flying rapebird.

First things first. Shoot the fuck out of them. Target whatever you don't want to fight and shoot it until it dies.

Try to anticipate which of their units is going where. Get rid of dogs and bats first at all costs. Then I try to weaken their lord with crossbow fire before the armies meet.

Let them charge you (you have the skill that negates charge bonuses right?) Try to pair up good matches.

Use Franz + reiksguard to charge one unit on one flank in the arse and cycle until it dies. Meanwhile as their dogs and bats are all dead (right?) Move your ranged round behind them and start shooting. Remember you can target large models in melee and not worry about FF so much.

If their lord isn't legendary then use Franz to snipe him. If it's a skilled up Vlad, shoot him first.

The crumbling mechanic is useful but think of it like wavering on a normal unit. If you see something is crumbling do exactly what you would do to break a unit (I.e. cavalry charge it).

If you have a wizard with the lore of light (why don't you?) Use it. Laugh.


If you're still here user, tell us your army comps and we'll see if we can help.

Kislev is rightful ________ clay.

Thanks dude, really appreciate it.
Like I said, my army comps suck - exclusively swordsmen, spearmen, a few crossbows and free militia company.

Granted, they're all buffed up with Honest Steel and the charge negation bonus, etc, but it seems I fucked up by not upgrading.

I have no idea how you could field "a couple of mortars and a canon", along with cavalry in the early mid game. I'm turn 60ish and I barely finally got a gunsmith going.

Guess I focused too much on economy / expansion?

Also, how to use Franz to snipe enemy LL's? I see lots of people talk about this, but Franz seems to suck to be honest. For example I put him on Manfred during the battle and he was clearly losing the fight. I've even had him fall in battle against Beastmen before, he seems pretty squishy and weak to be honest.

No wizard of light either. I suck.
