Empire 2500 chariots of fire(power).

As superheavy chaff and objective holders I've been using the 1+ save to keep them from being removed easily. 2+ vs fireballs and wood elves and repeater crossbows pays off in the long run.

Hes definitely squishy to be cheap but hes there to provide leadership, not take hits. On the edge of a unit he'll survive unless something goes terribly wrong. Some games he and the Lord level wizard are going to be sitting in a 5 man unit of archers behind a 5 man unit of archers behind a 10 man unit of archers behind a Halberdier block.

For the wizards it depends on the Opponent; vs High elves they can hang out in different archer units behind the main Halberd block to take advantage of -3 to hit on top of range penalties until I've killed their flyers and bolt throwers. Dark elves same story. Wood elves push them into the main Halberdier block to avoid being whittled down because Trueflight arrows, and its not like the Halberdiers are getting to the enemy line in that fight, lasering off the Wild riders and archer units buys me time to get ahead. Warriors of chaos they can practically sit in the open unless the enemy take a lot of magic missiles and then bring down Daemon Princes, Skullcrushers and Chimerae. Lizardmen they'll hide from poison in a rearward archer unit, then try and single out the Slann or kill Skinks depending on whos doing the most damage. For Vampire counts they can all sit in the archer unit and pour out lasers until the army crumbles. Against The Empire its the same deal, go for big ticket ranged items. Dwarfs they want to sit out of Organ gun range in any archer unit and remove artillery. Daemons will vary depending on composition; it'll be a laser fight so most of them time its in the archer bunker, natch. Orcs and Goblins is tricky; Squig gobbas and Doom Divers make them need to hide in the Halberds. Against Tomb Kings I'll leave them wherever if I get Light of Battle and thus; Light of Death Immunity as long as its up. Ogres is usually a return to sitting in the archer bunker behind the main block, unless theres a firebelly trying to delete the bunker. Bretonnians necessitates splitting them into different units to spread out the Trebuchet targets.

Against a lot of Opponents the ability to attack up to 48 Inches away with Banishment and the 12" range for Boosting the Arch Lectors Banishment usually means they can sit comfortably out of enemy fire while shooting back, the goal is to eliminate enemy ranged threats and fast movers before they can reach me. Once I've shot enough things to not unduly fear losing my wizards I can switch to killing things worth decent points. The Steam tank can nail down enemy units and the General is there to try and terror shock things that try to flank me. The knights hang around to clear chaff and then attempt to sit on objectives to be an annoyance, the musician might not be a terrible idea for swift reforming.
