Epic Morghoul

[LiamPiver]

How are you guys running eMorg? He and sexy Hexy are my favorite Warlocks for Skorne and I'm trying to get a good feel for him. I have the prime version down pat but here's my issues:

He doesn't do jack **** for his army for the most part especially playing against WarMachine.

He's squishy

His mobility just isn't what I would like for it to be (losing sprint hurt and makes me feel like I have to take Molik Karn with him)

I've been mixing it up with different builds. Giving some range support with Venators, giving him a few cyclopi to keep up with his speed, and using his elite cadre to give at least some benefit to my troops.

Here's a general built that I am working on for the 25 point mark. Speaking of which, what value is he good at?

eMorg +6
Cyclops Savage 5
Cyclops Brute 5
Molik Karn 11
Venators (min) 5
Paingiver Beasthandlers (max) 3
Blood Runners 5

I think I am worried about him getting killed to easily. I really am a fury hog with him and don't tend to use it unless I get into combat. Plus at the end of the game when he's there I realize I really should have had him up sooner because of the massive damage and denial I have him doing. I mean I really get a ton of use out of his fan and flashing blade.

I feel like I am missing some hitting power. Should I drop the Blood Runners for another Savage to just missle out into combat and tie up pieces?

I would drop the Venators and use the 5 pts elsewhere. What I would take in that 5 pts is a Paingiver Master Tormentor and a Totem Hunter.

The MT is a just a great model and though difficult to get into position for the Leadership bonus can still really make a difference.

I cannot express how versatile the Totem Hunter is. As in versatile in killing anything less than a Heavy Beast. His threat is huge and on his prey he can hit for a POW 16 and POW 13 on his prey at a MAT 10.

That would leave every model board sans Beasts and Beast Handlers with Stealth to boot.

[LiamPiver]

The Totem Hunter is probably a really good model to use with eMorg since he doesn't need any buffs. With the other points I may drop the Paingivers to a min unit and go with the MT and add Orin just to have a little Null Magic going on.
