Quick Question: Does anyone have a good tactic for dealing with Vilmon and two Paladins when you're playing eThags?

During a previous game i've engaged Vilmon with my Shepperd while he was immune to "normal" damages.

In the following turn he moves toward Thagrosh in order to strike him.
My shepperd free-stricked him, ... and kill him ... that's a good girl ! :D

So i think shredders could probably block them (or more) for some turns.

The issue would be that Vilmon alone can either dictates where your warlock goes, or can basically hold a control point solo.

If you are going to bring e-thags over to get Vilmon off the control point, you better believe I am positioning to counter charge your warlock.

A better bet would likely be just to slam him around with a Reak.

Vimon can Forfeit his Action before moving, and thus be immune to freestrikes from non-magical weapons. (http://www.privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?t=8289&highlight=vilmon)

Yeah.. This...

Btw, does the wording of Impervious Wall let you do the slam, but not the damage? (MKI, you couldn't slam Vilmon while he was walled)

You cant slam him either "does not suffer damage or effects from non-magical
ranged or melee attacks" the movement is an effect of a non-magical melee attack.
