How is that old rules? Latest army book, skinks can have kroxigor in the same unit.

its the old rules because now having kroigor in a unit of skinks is rather pointless because you only get one support attack

Actually, monsters (Ushapti, Minos, Krox) get 3 supporting attacks.


Though Teclis dying is good, Teclis dying to a miscast is even better. Serves him right, as well as anyone who is a big enough jerk to field Teclis.

I hate Teclis too. Made a right mess of me the first time i played him. The second was hilarious though. Due to a tacticsl blunder on my opponents part, i goulkin'd then charged a band of archers who were stood in front of Teclis' bunker. Konrad smashed them to bits and chased them into Teclis. Turn one massacre.

He's not using Teclis again.

To be fair, I don't mind Teclis in big games, say 3500 pts or more, but otherwise he's just an excuse to ignore tactical play. But pixies NEVER do that, do they? or is it just the ones I play against...

I have heard some gamers talk of being able to easily demolish teclis based armies once they learned how.

Post: #13

how?

Post: #14

I don't know, I didn't ask them how.
If they are a player who relies on Teclis, taking out Teclis in the first two or three turns will probably give you a pretty good chance of victory, as they likely won't have much of a plan/setup there to take you on without him around.

edit: okay, read up a bit online on strategies to counter Teclis. Here are a few of them:
1# Hit im in the face with a cannonball. If the first cannon fails, fire more cannons. (Some spells are cannonball equivalents, so VC has options here, except those are likely to be dispelled alot)
2# Concentrate on simply just slaughtering every unit except teclis and his bunker.
3# Use the lizardmen (or ogre) items that mess with miscasts.
4# Hit him with as much death magic, shooting attacks and killy units as possible.


Also, remember that Teclis only Irresistable forces on doubles if he meets or exceeds the spells casting value.
"In addition, any spell cast by Teclis will be cast with Irresistible Force on any [bold]successful casting roll[/bold] which includes a double"
