Beastmen chaff

redirect. redirect. redirect.

I don't flee with Beastmen chaff because there's a good chance they're not going to rally. I'll make an exception if it's the chaff that is running around inside the generals LD OR they're ungor raiders with a musician (this is the reason I give them horns, LD 7(!) on those rally tests)

In 2500 points my chaff typically consists of:
3-4 units of 5 ungor raiders
2-3 units of dogs
3 solo razorgors
1-2 units of 5 harpies

After I've won the chaff war or the enemy chaff is preoccupied and out of the way I usually still have plenty of chaff to gum up the workings of the enemy for a few turns while my Gors and Bestigors clean up the crucial combats.

My favorite character assassins are razorgors. for 55 points you get 4 WS3 S6 attacks against a single target. If you take a unit of 2 and place them 1x2 then you get 7 S6 attacks against a single target. More than enough to statistically kill a pesky mage/warrior priest/bsb.

Of course mine tend to miss with 5-6 of those attacks but that doesn't stop the theory from being sound, I just have bad luck with that tactic

I will go with double flee particularly if we are talking about LD7 or troops in the bubble. It's all trash points wise anyhow so even if they both panic they are out of the way of the charge.

Why?
