Farrows (pilot helga) died a pretty miserable death into errants last night. Bless Xbows blowing them away. Is the core strategy there just to dig in - ideally on hills - and wait for them to come to you? Also playing into Vindictus so he could project them on the approach. Are gun lines and Farrow infantry just a Bad bad mix or am I missing something I should be seeing.

Errants are also just really good at killing any Farrow infantry. Farrow casters don't have any way to boost their survivability (against blessed weapons). A Thresher can give them concealment (and give Commandos stealth!), so that is a possible help. Sturm can stop Errants from Assaulting with Polarity Field. |

Pig infantry dies in droves to pow 10 shooting. It's a problem. None of our casters really bring good delivery tools (Sturm is the closest). Helga has absolutely none (DW is generally for herself or skarath). It's particularly crippling for the slaughterhousers; at least the brigs shoot well enough to still be worth their while.
On the other hand, in December we get the Valkyries who are our first unit that is decent into pow10 guns: def 13, arm17, 5 boxes, shield guard. They'll help deliver beasts but still aren't really a delivery system for the other farrow infantry.

As everyone transfers away from Lamefall and into Will Work for Winning, I expect to see lots of Valkyries and Nyss. |
