I don't like your promotion of special characters. Most tournaments don't allow them anyways so the tactics from him are thrown out the window.
For the dwarfs, there was only this. Hammerson met Grombrindal’s gaze, and the White Dwarf nodded slowly. If it must be done, let it be done well. Whether they were dead or alive, that was the only way dwarfs knew how to do anything.

And Grombrindal said "10 from the back, yeah?"

Personally I never use special characters. I think they are mostly overpowered and over used (How many games have you seen at character tournaments using teclis/fate weaver etcetc)

Every tournament I have gone to bans special characters.

475 (495 actually) points also buys a Lv.4 with Book of Ashur and Lv.2 with Seerstaff.

If you prefer :P

I've always promoted Teclis, even in 7th Ed. If a tournament doesn't allow SCs, then I see HE as being high tier to medium. In this edition especially, HE desperately (and I stress this word) needs their magic to compete with other factions because of simple things like stepping up. We simply cannot justify our point costs otherwise because the army itself was not designed to take hits back.

Not really tactica, but my article on predicted army tiers has been posted on BoLS:
