- In Combat .
probably you noticed in both Mino units there is a champion.
The reason why i have got it is that i realized enemy try to keep busy the Doombull / Gorebull in a challenge and manage so to weaken the unit in the meanwhile
In case we are challenged we should accept with champion.
he can die or maybe not against hero or lord but what matters is that our Taurox can mince the unit in the meanwhile and grant us to win the fight.
In this scenario he will be hit back for sure but 90 % of time unit we will front will have Strenght 3 , 4 5.....
this is important because in case we have a 6 to hit and a 6 to wound ( rarely it happens) we are still allowed to try our AS
and if the Strength of the hit is 3 ...AS 1+ is great
Strength 4 ----AS 2+
Strength 5 -----still we have a AS 3+!!!
i won't mention here Strength 3 units but
here you are a short and not complete list of unit you can meet in your meta and we should not be scared of.
Saurus have S4
crypt horrors S4
Ogre S4
Treekin S4
beasts of nurgle s4
and so on ....
Warriors of chaos can have S5
Tomb king TG can have S5
Savage orcs can have S5
swords masters S5
Bretonnia knights in charge S5
Black guards S5
Rat ogres S5
queeks Stormvermins S5
Blood knight S5 ( if not in charge)
vergheists S5
Mournfangs S5
Treeman S5
wildwood rangers S5
wild riders S5
trolls S5
bloodleters S4 ( 5)
bloodcrushers s5
and so on -.....
it' s not a complete list but it's just to remind you that in case we are unlucky( 6 -6 on dices)against also a lot of elite troops we can still rely on a AS 3+
Other thing to consider is that we are immune to mortal and poisoned attack won't roll for wounding ( with nurgle and friends his weakness disappears !!!!!)
Against S6 unit we are risking more but AS will be 4+ ( in case of a 6-6 .......50 %of time we will survive )
going back to the beginning ...
if our champion survive we can accept again a challenge later.
If he dies and we are challenged in the next turn we will probably accept the challenge with a Taurox but now he will have an additional attack...because i grant you you will win the first fight !!
moreover we should try to have a unit on a flank ....in order to give pressure and win anyway the fight .
In the worst case we loose him (it didn't happen to me ) we can still count on others bloody unit and I think nothing is lost.
