Also worth considering that Soulrender is actually better than Crimson death if you are going to join a unit with the ASF banner.

Bolt throwers either 2 or none. A lone bolt thrower never really seemed to cut it in my experience.

I am curious, how do you do with bigger BG blocks against lists that run 2 or more stone throwers? Does your lists pack a lot of warmachine hunters? I've been running a unit of 14 lately in 2x7 formation, but found out that after a few casualties I can't really send them in combat without it becomin...

Aren't bound spells limited to the lowest difficulty level? I don't see another d6 magic missile worth paying points for. Especially now that you must spend power dice to use it.

Well I think it makes a big difference to be better on the charge. Considering the facts that you want to be the charger in order to maximize possible augment or hex spells, and as elf you still want to dictate when and where to fight. That said my list will still run 2 spear blocks and only 1 corsa...

I'm planning to run 18 corsairs 6x3 with sea serpent banner. My list also runs lvl 4 mage with lore of shadows. I think any close combat unit with decent amount of attacks works well together with withering or occams mindrazor. I could take witches too, but I kinda like the 4+ save against non-melee.

I was running one this evening against woodies with 3 Glade guard units. Had her equipped with pendant for ward save.

Do you think a unit of 10 CoK in 2 ranks could be viable? I have been thinking of ways to play my knights in this new edition since I just love the models. a unit of 10 would come around 300+ pts with Full command.

The movement rules on page 16 only refers to normal moves or march moves, not charge moves. AND, on page 21 in the "Charge" section it says: A knight moves 7, so it can charge 14 inc, in the open. But it specifically says that if it moves through difficult terrain or such there CHARGE MOVE...

What comes to blackguard I really dont see much use for a musician. First of all, if the BG for some reason are fleeing things have probably gone very wrong already and the musician wont save you.

Agree. They've even done it before with the revision of our 6th edition armybook. Don't remember/know of other occasions. I also believe they would keep more people interested if they updated and made balance tweaks more frequently.

You could also drop something in favor of another hydra. Maybe the other warrior block and one of the cold ones in the bigger unit. Two hydras can be very nasty ;)

Well generally when playing against gunlines, you just have to accept taking some casualties before your army reaches the other side of the table.
