Anti magic empire

(1/3) > >>

Footpatrol2:
If you were to build a anti empire magic list to counter say double lvl 4 enemy mages how would you kit/lore the empire level 4 wizard. The idea would be to shut down enemy magic. Multiple dispel scrolls?

Would you take a war altar to assist?

commandant:
The Book of Ashur is quite qood, though expensive.

Also feedback scrolls are interesting, if again expensive.   You have a 25% chance to hang 2 wounds on a wizard which could be a really big deal

Edwin von Dufflecoat:
I just don't think magic is that dangerous.

My last game I took my Dark elves against orcs, with just my level 2 against 4 wizards! 3 l2 and a l4.  Only one l2 was still standing at games end. And I can't think of a single useful thing any of them did.

My only rule for dealing with magic  is to always take a level 1, just so you're not relying on a single nat dispel.

I did try the war altar for a bit but I don't think he ever actually stopped a spell with his -2. Tanked a lot of shooting attacks tho.

sedobren:
honestly the wizard familiar is great. +1 to dispel is not that common in other armies and you can use it on every wizard you want. I often use it alongside the wizard staff also. If you want to stick to dispelling, either the boom of ashur (way too expensive imho, it should have been around 60 pt i think) or you can use the familiar with the common +1 to cast/didpell item for 80 pts total and +6 to dispel, which i think it's the highest dispel.bonus a non-named character can achieve in the hold world (with pts to spare for a wizard staff so you can play the wizard as a magic missileer as well!).

all in all the empire as some bang on arcane items!

sedobren:
also a lector on chariot for the -2 bubble if you really want to shut down casting!
