    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 :D

    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!
