They cannot be fled by chaff units and are great for throwing fanatics through, if you are primarily using singles.Phazaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763927131024744930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893596828743230020.post-62300020636208026332013-10-30T18:47:13.113-07:002013-10-30T18:47:13.113-07:00With the rise of new dark elves, fanatic builds wi...With the rise of new dark elves, fanatic builds will face some issues. Overall dark elves are a tough match for orcs. Anyway, they are simply too good to be left home. My favourite build is several big units of trolls, each with "fanatized" NG behind. This way you use fanatics basically as a power up for trolls. Add powerful magic and artillery and you can see why orcs are a top army, a Little umderestimated because they are really hard to use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511385854525576748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893596828743230020.post-33346236502228757212013-10-30T18:35:19.136-07:002013-10-30T18:35:19.136-07:00lol, my heart bleeds :)

Of course if they die to fanatics, maybe my artillery will last longer.Hingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747747133977685021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893596828743230020.post-81078742081168965592013-10-30T18:33:34.437-07:002013-10-30T18:33:34.437-07:00You are spot on DS.

This is just not going to happen against a good player. The best answer is to risk something more important that has a high probability of surviving. Better that then letting me throw the fanatics into a combat to turn the tide. Occasionally it will go bad and I get lucky but it is the best solution.

VC has far to many tools to deal with fanatics (ethereal, raised, flying, and vangaurd units) so expect a good player to pull the teeth of a fanatic heavy build. It is one reason I only take a couple.

As a WoC player, I can say my best option to pull out fanatics are either my own trolls, single heroes (1+as and 3/4+ ward) better if flying, or sometimes the odd chimera. Using chaff only works against unexperienced players.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511385854525576748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893596828743230020.post-23201379879954616022013-10-30T08:31:39.977-07:002013-10-30T08:31:39.977-07:00I know this is more WoC focused, but as I am slowl...I know this is more WoC focused, but as I am slowly putting together a heavy night goblin list I wanted your thoughts on this problem. Beside placing units close together to prevent new units from being constructed, and saving dispel dice to stop the raise spell, are there any other defensive tactics to prevent fanatic release do to raised units?Rhuellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367392677316205193noreply@blogger.com
