anyone plan on taking a sacrificial unit?
Any thoughts on taking a unit of 10 warriors without shields as a unit for the sorceress to use the dagger with? It's only 60 points in a 2250 game and could prove to be really beneficial.
Also, is the item available to all level casters or just the lord choice?

bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve...
Sure!
If the opponent has little shooting, that's OK. You could even mount the sorc on a DS and jump from this unit to a similar one in vicinity, in case it was threaten.
Against heavy shooting, I would add a shield, or consider to take corsairs instead. Another option is to hide the cheap unit behind a house and use the "familiar" to cast spells from.
No reason why the dagger would be limited to Lord choice. But I expect to have only 1 available for the army, so it makes sense to provide it to the most important spell caster.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the dagger and familiar both arcanes.
That would pretty much shoot down Calissons tactic.
If I'm wrong though, then it's an awesome tactic.

You're right:
both are arcane.
We really need to have the book in hand before any sound tactics can be thought about.

Because then you wont have room for any of the other fun special choices.

I'm thinking of taking 2 unit of 10 warriors as missile screens. They're only 5pts more than the 5 Harpy unit and I don't feel like buying more Harpies. Plus with BG being ItP now, they'll be great for screening either BG or Witches.
People say "insert problem" but it's better to say "insert improvement"
