I recently played a game against the trolls. The choking veil on the Reckoner rocks against almost all warbeasts. It's even compounded further if you throw any kind of DEF buff on him. It effectively gives you +4 DEF against all attacks. I don't know about you, but I'll gladly take a DEF 14/ ARM 21 or a DEF 14/ ARM 19 and no spells jack against any hordes opponent.

Very true. That is beautiful. Add in Enliven for a real PIA.

Not to say it isn't a great jack against beasts, but where are you DEF and ARM numbers coming from?

Looks like Defender's Ward for first set and one of our other DEF buff spells for second.

Though not Ashen Veil, since that one also give Concealment.

And note that the Reckoner's concealment can be ignored my certain models.

Still a nice jack all around.

Yeah, the first one was a defender's ward and the other was ESeverius's Holy Ward.

Also, I'm not worried about enemies ignoring his concealment. The Choking Veil makes all living models (almost all warbeasts) suffer -2 to attack rolls if they're within 2" of him. I just simply added +2 to his defense instead of listing specific MATs. He's much more valuable to counter melee oriented beasts.

I'm looking forward to running a 100 point army that features both High Reclaimer and Harbinger, along with the Reckoner. If you get the formation and clouds right, all attacks against things you care about will be made at -6.

Doesn't work as cloud effect give concealment now
