Mission 4: Searching for an Elven mage | Chaos' campaign: Act II Warhammer MOC Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This mission is rather fast and it's possible to regenerate some losses. Deploy as on the picture below. Move a little bit forward, without changing the direction, and wait for enemy. After few seconds two Imperial and one Elven regiments should appear. Kill them fast and move along the road leading east.
This path will bring us near a hill, with a ballista (to the left - a target for a single melee unit) and archers (to the right - a target for the rest of our troops) atop of it. Another shooters' regiment can be so further so it's essential to reach it fast (after destroying previous targets). Remember of using Favoured servant. We place the cannon on the captured hill, as it's seen on the picture below, and we're ready to start the last part of this battle.
Now we should be able to see following units: a mage and one regiment of swordsmen and one of handgunners. Those last ones should be shot by artillery. When they come closer charge at them. Last thing to do is to kill the mage - mission is won.
After this victory we regain control on Chaos' troops. First it's good to buy third hero for both Skaven and Chaos and shield with a mount for the second one. In my case he had 25th level. He learned three top skills from combat tree and Warmonger with Battle cry from command tree (development of Skaven hero will be described later). Now move Chaos' forces to crossroads and duel with Sigmar's priest. He's no match for Thorgar, so there should be no problems. As a reward you'll get a potion, a sword and 2500 gold.
Now it's time to spend our money. We can take six regiments to the next mission, so upgrade chosen ones. I advise also to buy magic banner for knights, which decreases damage suffered in melee.
