I have a quick tactical question. I come from a 40k and warmachine background and i don't understand what the term "redirect" means. Can someone please explain to me what that is and how it works on the table? That would be much appreciated
Simply put, it is using expendable units to keep enemies away from your important units. It is also for keeping nasty units out of combat. There are a lot of articles about how to do it, but one of the best is located here: http://www.ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=33028 This article deals with high elf eagles, but it is applicable for a lot of our units (and completely analogous to using terradons or a terradon chief for the same purpose) Another (though shorter) article can be found here: http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/01/wfb-tactics-art-of-redirection.html This one is nice, simple, and effective in explaining the basics. Common redirectors for lizards: skinks. terradons, skinks, camo skinks, and skinks. Hope that helps!
