I would love to help with a ”against the ambushers” add-on
But honestly, I have no clue about what to do against them, I have yet to play them, and even though I know the rules, that doesn’t make me know the tricks to kill them.
But I’m hopefully going to play them next Sunday, and I know the guy I’m expecting to play uses a lot of ambushers.
But a few of the obvious:
Most important: Know their rules, get hold of a beast book, and read it, or borrow it before the battle, saying “before we begin I would like to read the ambush rules” I f he tries to defy this, well, make him explain it 100% and then be sure to check after the batle
1) Their leadership is very, VERY low and you don’t have to do a lot of casualties on them to inflict test, any way you can caurse a panic test a quite likely to send them packing, grapeshoot, helblaster and magic should do this very nicely.
2) If you have anything terror causing fly it down so it blocks access to the warmachine, but still within 6” of the enemy, this will make him go around you and only take a terror test on low leadership. Or he can go for the terror cousing thing, first taking a terror test or run, and then taking a fear test or stand, he is going to fail one of them.
3) Flee the charge, they have only 10” charge, you are likely to get away if you are more than 4” or 5” away, and if he is within 4” you should easily have done option 1
A few notes, DON’T try and place a detachment in the way, gors are RIPPING empire soldiers in pieces
