Oakley demonstrates cost-effective army builds in a strategy game, focusing on a mobile High Elf composition and a swarm-based Skaven approach. Through various battles against Lizardmen and Dark Elves, he highlights the importance of unit positioning, counter-picking, and the strategic use of abilities to dictate the pace of engagement and secure victory.
Hey, what's up guys, it's Oakley and today we'll be doing a live battle. I have brought this
Dragon Prince build something that I've kind of like borrowed from this player that meet me once as Skaven
He was pretty high in the leaderboard. So I figured I'd bring it. Anyways, the core is
four of these white lines of Shrace with
Spears that you can put on the sides and then you're supposed to bring kind of well how it was
Shown to me was two archers and then four dragon princes
But I kind of tuned this knowing that I'm going against lizardmen so instead of four dragon princes
I've swapped one of them out for a phoenix guard. So setting this up. How does this build work?
Well, you're supposed to go on the flanks with your cav here
And sometimes you can throw in techless with one of the cav if it's an understrength wing
And then you kind of set up your forces like so and let's go ahead and just get some groupings going
So what I recommend you do is you group your cav flanks so that you can control them pretty easily
So one is going to be left two is going to be the right and then techless can be three
And in the center what we could do is we'll make this four
Actually, I don't want that
I probably want the archers as a group the rest is just gonna move up in the center like this and
Yeah, that's pretty good. So the the way this build is supposed to work is this army here is not super strong
It's pretty cost-effective
but you usually want to kind of keep it back and it's just here to kind of
Guard the archers as they move up and back and they get some early shots off and then you can kind of retreat this while
The cavalry on the wing helps you exert control
So let's take a look at what we have on the opposing side. Looks like he's brought
Some stegodons Krakar and a whole bunch of Saurus warriors just two of them with spears
So we should be able to take that on there are some hidden forces probably on the flank
So let's start moving forward with my cavalry and let's get this build here
I'm a little bit scared about what he has on the left in that in those woods
So I'm gonna kind of start staggering my archers a little bit and get ready for this
But yeah, basically what you're supposed to do is get your cavalry here
And what they can do is get some opportunistic strikes on the opponents
So I would want to charge in and hit these Saurus warriors. Definitely get in some strikes before the engagement commences
I'm gonna try and do that
Get these dragon pittances on the flank. Don't get too close. I don't want
The heavens guy to tie me down with any sort of net of Emmet talk business or anything like that
Looks like he does have some cold wind riders, but I should be able to counter those pretty well
I think focus fire wise. Let's make sure we shoot at the
This I was sure spears. Yeah, I do want to get rid of those
Let's get these guys in the rear just to threaten the enemy and then our Center is just gonna continue to pull back
And we're just defending the archers. That's one of the things you should probably do with this build. They just continue to pull back
Yeah, and we're just gonna kite. We have the archers here for a reason just gonna continue to do that
Yeah fire away at these guys
threaten the flank
And just continue to delay and I think what we can do here is
Threaten the middle a little bit
Yeah, I think we may have let's get some guys in the back just to unnerve him continue to pull back and
Looks like he's gonna want to get crock are oh
Shit miss that net
Looks like it's gonna work. Nonetheless. Let's get these princes in the back
We're smacking these guys and both of you are gonna focus focus on crock are
Let's get them in there white lines of Shreyas can tear these guys up. Let's pull him into the center and
Let's pop flock of doom on these guys
Let's pull out the dragon princes
Yeah, we're super tearing through this force
so what we're gonna be able to do here is
Get to focus fire on these guys we can heal up our dragon princes pretty soon here
Got a big blob on the right. Let's pull back with the dragon princes get spears against these cold one riders pull back
And let's we'll get a heal off against these guys
When we get the chance charge up to the center get a big blob into the back
Get these dragon princes in here and they can go after this take it on you can hold here
Let's get the spears to focus fire
he's gonna run away and crock guards gonna be held down by the dragon princes and
Let's get a flock of doom to help our guys. So there you go. We have this focused up
And we're gonna get a big strike through the back and
Techless is just gonna continue
Continue to run around. Yeah, he's writing princes are gonna destroy that Center
Holding okay dragon princes are routing on that front
He's forgotten about some guys, but we're doing really good focusing up crock are there. I'm pretty happy about this
Let's continue to do some cycle charges
And dragon princes are really holding that down very well, and let's get a nice big strike
Into the back free up the spears and these guys can charge back into the source warriors
Yeah, we're super focusing these guys down very happy about this and he's having a hard time shaking it
Get a flock of doom on that mess
Looks like they're gonna try and go after Techless, which is fine. Just gonna continue to focus him down and we're very very quick
Let's get some
dragons against them
Techless is doing pretty good work
He's trying to pop all sorts of abilities to keep me tied down
But looks like it's not gonna work in this case
And he's been so thrown off that I guess he forgot about his crocs of gores
And yeah, these guys have been firing away the whole time this skink priest. Let's see him off
Bring some units around and yeah, we're absolutely
wrecking this force and
There you have it so that was a really quick quick and easy battle
Let's end the battle right there, and so yeah, I played up pretty good
So he just didn't have much to counter the dragon princes. They didn't get that much
They got a little bit tied down, but Techless there
You definitely want to use the net of avant-garde to tie down big units
We held back Krokar which allowed us to choose to dictate how the battle was gonna get off in the early engagement
And then we just got a big flame strike flocks of doom on these big clusters of units
And then our archers went unharassed and just fired away
Phoenix guard is also a nice move in this matchup because you can just pit them against some of the big monsters that would
Love to penetrate your lines
So that's it for this first battle
Let's go ahead and hop into another match bring a similar build and see if we can use it against other opponents
This is kind of fun. I've never really done one of these live battle sessions here, but yeah, let's do it
It'll give us a way to discuss things a little differently
So I'm hoping we do get to play against something else like some
I think some skaven would be fun to play against because I've been hearing they've had some doom wheels
Okay, it looks like it's is this the same guy I really hope not. All right, let's go ahead and give this a try
Oh, sorry, and I'm being pretty impolite here with readying up so quickly
I should be giving them a little bit more more time to load up
The build is just so cost-effective. I really like it
One of the things I might be worried about is hey, we're in the Amara swamps, which means hey, it's gonna be very slow
For my units to move around. I could swamp out in that case knowing that maybe hey
The cavalry will be tied down in these areas and it'll be a little hard to maneuver
What I could try and do is maybe swap out one of these dragon princes for some
I don't know. They're just so versatile. I mean one thing I could consider would be bringing some Lothern seaguard instead
Because they could hold down against enemy cav in the woods if they need to but the rest of the time they can just help
Put firepower on the enemy tie down flying Lords and things like that
But we're gonna stay with this vanilla build for the time being
And this is the map that I think I was talking about where you know
Sometimes you'll see maps with a bunch of swaps on them and they look cool thematically and they kind of play interesting
But I mean look at this. I'm spawning in all swamps. He's spawning in pretty dry land
So yeah, not entirely fair and it's one of the things that I keep saying
I hope the modders do fix but this is really interesting. Look at this all these like letters
Right next to the battlefield kind of cool stuff a little temple as well. All right, so let's get our force set up again
We're gonna set these forces here group them so that they stay in their formation
We're gonna be relatively aggressive and the nice thing here is gonna be also. Oh, sorry. I don't want to group
This is one. I want them as one and I want them as two
but yeah, the nice thing about this is we can hide our dragon princess in the woods and
get
Techless in the front actually as always
Put the archers in the front
Say good luck. Have fun again and get going
Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum
Considering that I'm casting this live. I do wonder if I should just go ahead and live stream some battles. That could be fun
I've never really do that done that but seems like one of those things that
YouTube is trying to push and what I can do is always just you know, post the live recording afterwards. Oh
Sweet, we have some dragon princes on that flank. Ha. Oh my god. It's the mirror matchup. He's done it
This is gonna be interesting, okay, so in order to win this mirror matchup
Let's go ahead and oh looks like you got out of formation. Let's pull these guys back
but what I'm gonna want to do is send some archers over here and
he realizes that that it's the same building so let's just fire into that and
This will be great
And I think what we can do is I'm just gonna maximum maximize my archer fire
Pull them into the back and put them in the woods here
And I think that'll make us safe the other one hasn't fired
So taking a little bit of losses, but we should be okay and let's save some spears over by these two cav
Just gonna I'm a little bit worried. Actually, let's charge one of them out towards the archer force there and
Let's get him there to guard the flank
Yeah, we'll be fine
And let's charge forward. I think we'll be okay here. And what I can do is I can force his guys back and
Trade more cost-effectively
Yeah, he's coming back with more guys. Those are
Yeah, we're gonna get really cost-effective trade there boom smashing into his guys and let's pull him out and
He's gonna try and get his net off. I imagine that's what that is. Yep
So let's get our own net off
This is so interesting
So we've netted everything
Which is absolutely ******* hilarious
And yeah, let's just kill his guys. We're gonna get his dudes in the back. Ah
This is so great. We're doing the same thing here, but I have a
This is so funny absolute mirror matchup
So I'm just gonna trade more cost-effectively. I mean that's gonna be my go to I have spears in the back
Yeah, this is such a funny thing
Let's pull out these dragon princes get these guys in there and
Hold these guys back spears are gonna push up. You're gonna go around here and
You're gonna go around the side and you just keep plowing through you go here techless can hold for the time being
And yeah, he'll just pull out
It's just such a goddamn mess with the mirror matchup
Absolutely hilarious though. All right, let's pull him forward. Let's push him to the middle. I
Think we're trading pretty good
I'm gonna get some spears in this mix and let's get techless over there just to cause all kinds of chaos and
Let's push these white lines in the middle you I want to focus on the archers
Mmm, I'll make sure they don't go anywhere
Absolutely ******* hilarious
Let's get them around the back. Let's go after his archers. Let's also pop flock of doom on these guys
absolutely ******* bonkers
Come on get into them
And let's get regrowth
off on these guys
Clean up the back here charge into there and let's get these white lines into there
Yeah, this is funny I've never had like an exact mirror matchup including all the abilities oh
Come on
But I think I just played it a little bit better
got the better charges to my calf got the spearmen into engagements where he didn't and
Let's pop another flock of doom off
Wrong target
Hilarious
Yeah, just continue to fire into those dragon princes now we got this cleaned up pretty nice and easy
Let's kill some guys over there
And yeah, it's holding out. Oh, you're gonna try and get some spells off against me too little too late brother
too little too late I
Can get some regrowth I'm gonna wait for that
Let's see if we can't cut through his guys here. Oh
God I burned through a bunch of my guys
That's alright, let's clean these guys up and yeah, wow such a freaking crazy mirror matchup. I can't get over it
We're trading pretty well spearmen in here
Okay, he's gonna pop another flock of doom, and he's wasting a fair amount of
abilities on that
It's like I don't have enough just yet, but I will soon his guys are starting to route
I think having the archers here late game is gonna be absolutely critical and his guys are starting to crash
Let's get techless into that engagement there
Yeah, I've got enough to hold out forever
There you go
Let's let's save that one in case I want to do a build later
match
That's too too great
That's funny did this guy just literally watch my video yeah look at that the exact same build exact same units. Oh my god
But yeah, I just I just played a little bit
Safer with my cav got more kills my spearmen committed to the right place, and then my archers also getting a little bit more kills
That's so funny. Wow holy crap
I didn't expect to see that
All right, let's keep grinding. Let's see what else we can find
All right, we're in another battle. Let's go ahead and load up
I do want to show you real quick my like value build that I have as Skaven
So yeah, it brings a lot of force to the battlefield and a fair amount of storm Varun
Which makes me really happy a nice core of rat ogre some anti-large and then some slingers just to be like a bait
Or to tie down enemy artillery so that one's kind of fun tie down skirmishers as well
But I'm gonna continue to just go on the tear with the dragon elf
Build and see how it fares against the high elves, so what could I do to tweak it a little bit for the high elves?
Well the high elves are probably gonna bring some dark shards, which would love and I've been seeing a fair amount of
What's it called the Reaper crossbow guys basically crossbow mounted cavalry that will start vanguard deployed next to your troops and just run up to
You if that's the case I can run them down with the dragon princes
And just I think I'll be able to absorb enough yeah with my I mean they do have armor piercing dragon armor
I'll need something to tell
You got scared all right
Let's go back into it, but yeah, that's one of the things I was wondering about so if you're playing against
Dark elf player. What do you want to bring well?
They probably want to bring a lot of their infantry to try and tear through your line
Maybe think you'll be bringing a bunch of archers
But you can run that down with white lines of trace plus some dragon prince charges in the center
So the only way they can counter that is if they're gonna bring some like death hags
Let's say hi hi and not scare him off again
So okay, he's gonna be going as the high elves. I don't know he's going as that one
So yeah, what do I want to bring if he brings Malekith with a lot of spells you might try and focus on
Techless that's okay. I'm not super worried
I've seen people I've seen this build or I've tried this build
I guess you could say with the potion of Troy here, and it allows you to replenish some HP for yourself
At the degradation of casting spells, but if you're getting focused down it can be pretty useful
So it might be better to bring this instead of wild heart increase to power reserves
Improve power recharge rate and power reserve, so this is a lot of investment to have more magic
Which may be in a long battle could play itself out. I guess we'll see
But yeah back to how we counter this he may be bringing some big
Some like what is it death hags mounted some reaper cross bolt throwers, but I think I'm okay
What I might do actually is skip on one of these spearmen and toss in an extra archer force to shoot at Malekith
I don't think he's gonna have that much cavalry that can threaten me
So let's go ahead and toss one of those spearmen and give that chevron to an archer unit and let's get into battle
So yeah, I'm a little bit more happy about that
His death hag I'll just tie it down with my dragon prince or cast a net on it
And then yeah
I think having one more archer is gonna prove pretty good for a countering some of his early skirmishers
Looks like there's gonna be a big forest on our flank. I can hide
Two dragon princes out there, which is gonna be great anything he pushes through that forest. I could probably have a spearman
handy just to help out in case he has cold ones or anything crazy pushing through there and
Yeah, oh, it's this this map. I do like this map. It's almost like a tournament ground type setting fun stuff
One of the things I love about this map as well is this river back here. God does it look glorious?
We've never seen in previous Total War a river that looks that nice
So something's I really wish see I would put like as much effort into
You know the standard battles as they do into the background
All right. So spear wise we're gonna hide it on the flank alongside two of the dragon princes
We can pull them into the middle if we need to
I'm guessing his dark shards and other riders are gonna be on around here
So I'm gonna keep my dragon princes a little bit hidden and then what we'll do is we'll move up the archers put them on
One group and have them kind of distributed up through the front
On second thought if he does have some range guys
I do want some spearmen up here just to guard them and soak up some arrow fire and then techless can be on this flank
All right, start the battle
All right. It looks like he's gonna want to fight a battle over there
So what we're gonna do then is just kind of throw everything over to the side here get them going and then reposition
And we'll fight a battle on this flank again. This is gonna be the twisted battle line
Tactics that I always
Do recommend and it's actually what you're doing is you're just shifting the battle line
So you're gonna be facing this way your opponent's gonna turn his flank to your guys on the side here and it makes for
Nice little engagement where you get to have a cool advantage. So he's gonna run into the woods
Let's take a look at his composition. So you have a couple Blackguard of Naggar on a couple witch elves and
Malekith who's gonna be on the ground
He's got some shades here
So I should be able to catch those guys pretty well. I'm gonna need some reinforcements. Let's pull everything over here
So I'm not sure how my dragons princes are gonna hold up
They did get a pretty good exchange against the cold ones. Those shades here do have some great weapons
Probably no, they're gonna try and fire into me
So so long as I can block reinforcements, I'm definitely gonna have to get my net off on the reinforcing troops
Yeah, this is going pretty well in my favor pretty happy about this
Here comes Malekith, let's get these guys riding into here and this is gonna be a hell of a battle
Nice netted him, bitch
And I'm guessing his army is coming up behind him. So let's fire into there
and
Let's get some regrowth on my princes
Perfect. It's probably gonna try and focus up on
Teclis let's pull him out of that engagement and let's tie down
Malekith
Come on Teclis
We're out of there. And yeah, we're destroying his guys pretty handedly
get some more dragon princes and
Let's pull this force out. That's the nice thing about these guys is they're all mobile
I pull everything out and we'll just start firing away at his forces. We got rid of his shards
We got rid of his cold ones. I'm pretty happy about this
There he goes
Everything pulling out pretty handily there and I would want to cast a net see if I have it. Yep
There we go, that'll let us make a nice handy little escape and let's start focusing up on his witch elves if I can
So we lost one dragon prince. I should be able to save it
Bring some guys over get some archers firing
Yeah, so I'm gonna pull these guys back. They're literally just here to help
Hold the line
spread out some archers get these guys here and
Let's make sure we focus fire on the witch elves and you can turn around and hold these guys down
Let's get another net here. Yep. This is gonna be devastating for him. Watch this
He's literally gonna cry
Actually, I don't even need to charge in I can just fire into this blob
And let's pull out with everything
There's go his witch elves are pissed man
And let's get a value off on his blob there
Get some guys over here. Let's get
Go around the flank you get over there
Teclis is holding up pretty well and let's just pull back and we're gonna get a nice big old. Come on
It's got a nice big old cavalry charge
Where you got Teclis?
Nope cleave through my guys. I was hoping to hit them. That was really terrible
That's okay. We'll just reform
Lines, they're
Destroying his guys. Let's clean up his forces pull back the archers keep firing into his bleak swords
clean up these guys back here and
Just sit on our guys. All right, it's gonna tie down those dragon princes. They're gonna be dead
So let's make sure we clean up the other forces in the back
And I think we'll be okay. Don't get those guys engaged unnecessarily
And the archers are still alive. So pretty happy about this harganeth executioners. Definitely focus them up and
Actually, this is where I should have saved
Let's get that off
And let's just get a little bit of spread on our archers
Guard against spells like that
Yeah, his shades over there are gonna be a little bit annoying that's okay have a whole bunch of range and
Ghost murder's prowess. See ya. You wish you could use it, don't you? And let's get some finishing shots on those cold one riders
Pivot some cavalry in the center to counter charge
I'm not quite sure where he's gonna go. Does he have something in the back here? I should be routing
Alrighty, so it looks like we're gonna have a little bit of fight in the forest. So let's Oh
Dragon princess came back. Very good. Very good
All right. Let's get this curb back into the forest where he belongs. Let's reform the line here. We're a little bit weak. That's okay
And we'll just let our winds of magic build back up. So that's good
He's just giving me more time and I don't quite know where he's gonna try and retreat
I guess he wants to go into the deep dark forest there
Yeah, we're still continuing to fire
So let's go ahead and put these guys off fire
Form up get them on the flank there and give them a little bit of a spear defense because I know his shades are gonna
Try and use the woods to try and trade again more cost-effectively and where the **** is he going?
Really? Not quite sure
Where my opponent is gonna run off. That's okay. I think these white lines are very healthy
Let's just start the advance then
Start to push up
Dragon prince is on the flank and we will just save up our abilities
Have some dragon princes perhaps located here. This will be good and let's just throw some bait forward
I know my archers aren't gonna be super useful in the woods
So if anyone's gonna die, it's okay if the archers die because I don't expect to get too much damage out of them
The main thing I'm worried about is a little infantry charge
And yeah, let's get them back there. So we got that flank held down. He's gonna try and go a bit further
So let's try and mirror up that way and pull some dragon princes around the right flank
Actually, he looks like he may be trying to retreat to some sort of corner
All right, let's push up the hunt is on. I've never had one of these. This is a this is rather interesting
It's like where are his guys going? I'm not sure if he's setting up an ambush of sorts
What the hell's going on here?
But we'll keep pushing up a little bit worried about some witch elves or something
Not quite sure how far my range extends, but we'll keep him here to spot some guys
He's gonna get some reinforcements. There are still some
black guard of Nagger on
Okay, so here are his guys
There are the witch elves. So yeah, we can start to fire into that
All right
All right. Let's get these guys ready on the flank. This is a gladiator
So, all right, let's form up
Let's get these guys behind them and just prepare ourselves. Yep. Looks like he wants to take the fight there. So it's okay
Start to line
Line up for the fight. I have more range than him and
Probably a little bit more firepower. So once he's sufficiently annoyed, we'll just charge in and yeah
This flank of the dragon princes is gonna be critical
All right. Let's get the archers up front to start to fire
Put them on fire at will mode. They're gonna start moving up and then
These white lions are gonna start to move
Just get them to walk at this point and then these guys are gonna run around the flank
Yeah, we'll see how this goes
All right. Where is the army?
Which elves kill them, please?
Yeah, let's finish this off
Can't see ----. Oh
Techless is in the fight. Let's definitely get him in there and
Let's get the archers
Flying at the bleak swords. Let's clean up his shades
And yeah, I think we can collapse in on this with some of our guys
I don't want to put everything in there until techless gets in because I'm scared of what he might cast
Those witch elves are going down. Let's focus on Malekith
And yeah, this is going pretty good
Techless is gonna want to get one of his spells off
Yeah, I know this is going pretty good
That's just charging. I think we got this famous last words though
Yeah, so there you go. He got one of his spells. So I avoided that by not committing everything necessarily
Get him here
Dragon prince is continuing to tear it up and these guys here can fire into Malekith
And let's disengage. I do want to hit the back of his combat line
let's get that going and
That should shatter it. Sweet
Killing a bunch of guys in the back glorious
glorious victory and
Let's get one of these
guys in there and then techless can regen on
Them. They'll be getting healed back up. Let's tell them GG
Run and dark elves run
That was a pretty fun one pretty interesting
little game there
yeah, so
Witch elf core is kind of interesting because it allows you to just tie down dragon princes
So it kind of worked on one of them. They got caught up and they couldn't retreat
So it's a nice way to kind of net units for cheap and then tear up infantry
So they're pretty interesting forces
But having four dragon princes just makes for a very slippery build and then techless there can come in
Like Gandalf charging out of Minas Tirith to save the day
He can come in and save the day with his net of Amontak
Really helped tie down the enemy
I think spotting those shades early on and the cold one dreadknights and then coming in and blasting those with two dragon princes with some
Support from techless really helped turn the tide in my favor
So we can go ahead and do I think one last and final match
We haven't really gotten a way to test this build and like a standard matchup in like grassy flatlands type setting
But I think you're starting to see a bit of the versatility of it
So, let's see if this is gonna be the one
I hope we're not gonna play against milf hunter again
Not because he's a terrible opponent, but I do just kind of prefer to have a different mix and match of
oppositions, okay
Okay, very oh my god. I'm gonna eat this alive. Holy ----. There's nothing he can do against my dragon princes. That's absurd
Oh, no, look at me. I'm so helpless
Fire away at me. Yeah, it looks like he's already given an attack order
So there you go, just gonna do a little bit of dodging wasting his shots
And let's tie his Lord down here
That's gonna absolutely just
Roy his army. Oh
My god, this is just not fair. I'm sorry. Oh
God, ouch. It hurts. His archer is already routing
another flock and just go
toe-to-toe with his guys
Charging here. Oh god, it's so bad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you so bad
Alright, that's gone. And there you go
holy moly goly moly
See like zero kills across the board
Christ, um, okay. Let's get into the next one. I did say I wanted that to be the last battle, but
Yeah, we're just uh, that was a little play thing right there
All right. Here we go. ****. Why do they keep taking the high elves? All right. All right. I'll switch it up
I'll switch it up
We'll stop doing the Dragon Prince build and we'll just fight it out against our opponents with this big swarmy Skaven build
I'll give you a preview of this at the very end. I'm kind of tired of doing the Dragon Prince's over and over again
Oh, okay. He switched it up
All right. I will go ahead and swap over back to this guy
I actually take that back and let's fight against some dinos. Hi-yah. How do you like that counterpicking?
Absolute monster. All right, let's go
Having a little bit of a dance here. Are we that's fine if he goes back to the the lizard men
I mean, I have enough storm vermin anti-large. Yeah, that's fine. He thinks he's like, oh no, he got the counter build to me
What am I gonna do?
But no, I have like I'll I'm pretty sure I I have the tools and my toolkit to deal with this
So it was kind of a funny little back and forth there
I do like when people try and do that and that's why you do need a couple
Go to like pre-built armies for counter picking in case that kind of little back and forth happens
But yeah, I guess I'll get to show you a little bit of this Skaven build. So it's a fun one
So let's start in the back and you can see just how many units you have it is meant to swarm full-on Skaven army
All right. So the way you're gonna want to do this is
Kind of distribute your front line like this
Make that group one and they are gonna be your fodder. This is what the dinos and source warriors charge into
Once the enemy is tied down in
That front line you're just gonna toss all sorts of
Shells at it
You can also raise some
Do some scorchers warpstone scroll blah blah blah all kinds of stuff to help reinforce this front line in the back to guard against dinos
If they punch through you're gonna counter charge with these storm vermin of halberds
And then make sure you keep your rat ogres somewhere on a hotkey
Because they're gonna be meant to obviously counter
the enemy as they charge in may even want this in the front lines to help reinforce to counter charge and then storm vermin to
Adjust as needed plague monks. I'm gonna save
Yeah, we're gonna save these guys. This is like your big core of good infantry
So once you see a blob of source warriors coming in you're gonna want to commit to this
So let's just go ahead and kind of deploy for battle and then see what we're dealing with and then we'll just as needed
All right. It looks like he's brought
skink and
Soros warrior focused army with some feral cold ones on the right. So the feral cold ones. Yeah, I think what does he have?
Feral Bastildons a bunch of feral units. Okay, I can I think we'll be fine
So basically what we're gonna do here is just gonna continue to adjust
He does have a bunch of guys in the front. So those
Soros dudes can do pretty well
The rat ogres are gonna go and chase down his feral cold ones and he has a bunch of cheap infantry in the front
Which is like a nice counter build to skaven. So we'll see what we can do
I'm gonna just pluck away at them and then I'm gonna have to delay a little bit and with my screaming bow here get some
Abilities off and let's do some preemptive stuff with the rat ogres
Let's keep pulling these guys back
Just gonna like mirror his movements with my rat ogres and get some storm vermin in the center here. It's actually
so that's what what you're gonna want to do pull that over and
storm vermin
Gonna come through the front and you can see he has a unit exposed here. The skink cohort is gonna get
Shut down by those rat ogres and then you're gonna want to pull out and then with your storm vermin just go ahead and come
on in and
We're gonna start to tie down his force
So let's get rat ogres back fire into that mess
Let's start exploding into that. All right
Get that around the flank rat ogres are gonna want to charge around the sides
And let's make sure we focus fire on the big guys
They're all best sold on their rat ogres are gonna charge into these source warriors storm vermin as well
And just charge into the center
Let's also make sure that with our guy here
Popping all sorts of abilities and this guy can do pretty good in melee, so I'm not too worried
That was forgot to swap that out
All right split up
So our front line has been obliterated, but that's kind of its intended purpose
And let's make sure we fire away at his big
beasties and
Make sure you keep your skaven coming back
Pull it out. One of these guys is gonna want to focus fire on this guy
And he's really focusing up. So let's get our
rat ogres
to help reinforce
And yeah, we're turning this around pretty handily. So we'll start firing into this blob and let's get
Rat ogres to reinforce. Let's get some skaven slave spears to slow that down and he's kind of throwing everything
Into that engagement there. So there you go. We have the center tied down pretty handily
He has some monsters, but now he can focus fire on them
And let's make sure we focus down Mazda Mundi and yeah, you can see the skaven swarm is coming back
big in numbers
Yeah, yeah, everything is coming back here
You can fire into them rat ogres are gonna come in the back and clean up and yeah, I think we're totally fine here
Let's make sure we keep this safe
Pull this out and just continue to focus on Mazda Mundi. Skaven slaves can be thrown into the center as cannon fodder
Storm vermin chase this unit off in the back get these shots on you continue chase them
I am gonna need storm vermin with halberds to guard my guy in the center
And yeah, I need to tie down these Bastildons
Yeah, you keep firing away. You're doing great
He may be turning the tide somewhat
Storm vermin with sword and shield you're gonna have to save them
Let's actually pull them back
Pull everything back here
Get some storm vermin up against Mazda Mundi get these guys
Yeah, and let's just save him. He looks like he keeps trying to pop abilities against him
We do have a mass of units
Keep pulling Skaven back into the fight because they're always gonna try and retreat
Let's get that off. Oh
Really eager to kill him
Yeah, chill out, bro
storm vermin in here
Fighting out pretty good. Let's pull these guys out and definitely come against Mazda Mundi. God. He's got a lot of a lot of guys
Yeah, okay. There we go. Pull these dudes back in the center
I'm telling you this Skaven build has so
So many troops, it's insane
Get a little bit of disruption. There we go
And now we can focus on Mazda Mundi and just the numbers to continue to tie him down save these storm vermin
Keep him nice and nice and healthy
Yeah, there you go. Take him down
Let's throw some more units in
Get in there you rat ogres
You're gonna have to sacrifice yourself for the greater good
Everyone stop Mazda
Sacrifice yourselves
There we go. I think we may just have enough. Oh, let's make sure these guys
Stay alive. Oh
The source warriors too strong here
Actually, let's make sure that they're safe. Oh
Shit, he's got everything routing. All right circle back
If I can save him for a little bit longer
let's get
focus on him you're gonna
disrupt
Oh the jukes and
Skaven army is coming back. Come back my clans
We're summoning we're doing good. We're doing it fam. Yeah, there you go. Skaven army too strong, baby
So we got a bunch of guys rampaging so they will hold them down you
On Mazda Mundi. That is your goal
Let's keep some halberds alive. You are just gonna try and catch up with Mazda. Here we go. This is the conclusive moment
Pull him back fire into that big toad, baby. Oh
Shit
----, I'm not gonna be able to get my
ability off
You need some more spells. I don't think this can hit. Oh
It'll work. I thought that only worked against air units
You can sacrifice yourself there you turn around and fire
Let's hope this works. You got one shot
There you go. He's super low one more volley
Go sweet and I got a bunch of rampaging troops now, we just got a shore up our ranks in the back and that's it
Everyone is coming against. Mr. Mazda
Take a look at this
Come on
What the hell's going on?
focus up
Yeah, that's it for our army. All right, we have some dudes here should be okay
They're all rampaging which is a little bit dangerous
But goddamn keeping this this grace here alive with 372 health was critical
And yeah, this is this little group here is gonna be so so important. Oh
Shit army losses. No. No, we had it. We had it. We had it. We had it. Oh
Everything was just rampaging. Oh, man. That was a that was a fun one nonetheless. Okay, so let's see lizard men
lizards verse
Skaven
high numbers, I guess and
Let's call it close with the not
That's all I had
Yeah, that was a fun battle
So as you can see this build can do pretty good work and it just keeps coming back and back and back
I didn't have the cleanest of engagements
But yeah, I mean it played out pretty well
I could have like I said play this out a little bit cleaner
But still lots of kills on the storm vermin doing good work everyone doing good stuff
I think that when the main line committed it was a little bit messy
I had pulled my
Storm vermin with halberds a little too close to the front line and then my main line of just spears and all that crap
I should have actually just literally sacrificed one skaven slave to soak up the enemy and then
Used some of the gray Sears abilities to just put on the damage to his skinks
And yeah
That would have worked better and then just literally retreated everything
waited for his blob to come out after me and continue to trickle feed in crap and then form a you and envelop him with
The storm vermin but late game. I mean it was really close
We saw off Mazda Mundi had I been able to maybe guard these guys a little bit better at the end
I think we could have focused down on these feral best Dildons
But this is a nice anti skaven build if I had brought maybe one or two artillery pieces
It would have been okay
It might have sniped Lord Mazda Mundi
But that would have been a lot of money
Invested that he would have just you know taken the hit and then swarmed me with the rest of this so pretty fun build
Nonetheless, I guess for both sides. So that's it for this one
Hope you guys enjoyed stay tuned for more and yeah, see you in the next one
I very much consider doing some let's plays or sorry some live streaming in the future because this was fun
I did record it live, but maybe in the future. I can just do it as a live stream
So let me know what you think in comments below and yeah, see ya. Peace out
