Well... I think 2 shogunate lunars can handle the deathknights easily enough...Jukashi said:I think 50 Shogunate Lunars can handle the deathknights easily enough...
Exactly how will he animate every corpse of a beatsman? And how will he gain control of every soul that dies on the battle field? He can't be everywhere at once.Me thinks that not all the Wyld barbarians are enured to horror, despite their...origins. Do they not still run from the Dawns? Do they not still run from the Dusks? I have in no way ever read that the Wyld barbarians have gone toe-to-toe with the Dead aside from the North. And personally, I still think seeing some of your kinfolk as the swirling mass of bone talons and eating your arm would be a biiiiiiiiit horrifying to them.
Besides with each that falls shall rise as FaFL's new line man, both parts of him, soul and body. 2 for 1 sale. And I still attest he's a better strategist than the Lunars. I'm certain of it. Seriously, you can't argue that point, he's been doing it for nigh 5,000 years. How can you beat that kind of field acumen? And he's not stupid to what Lunars can do or what tricks they can pull. Hell he probably had a Lunar wife.
You do realize this is standard practice for DL armies? They do have machines with enchantments on them to raise the dead. It's common fucking sense. Seriously, you honestly think he hasn't thought of this? Look at Patton, look at Rommel, Napoleon. Sure the last two were beaten, one by his peers and the other by Russia's winter and his peers. Now take one of them and magnify his intellect and masterful insight by several thousands of years of sharpening that mind. I'd say he's thought of it. And yes, they command more sorcerous power, I'm not daft.Exactly how will he animate every corpse of a beatsman? And how will he gain control of every soul that dies on the battle field?

Yes he is the best general but he is only ONE. Lunars will have at least 20-30 great generals among their numbers. With charms that will allow them to enchance their beastmen (so no beastmen will start running when they see the dead). I doubt the FaF can affect all his 750.000 soldiers with his charms. I also have the impression that you can't personally command a unit greater than 10000 people (magnitude 9).
The artifact the Lunars will have will be vastly more numerous than the ones the Lion posseses. Â
Plus fact is that ghosts won't mean nothing to millienium old lunars.
Perhaps its in the book of bone and ebony but I am not familiar with any way that allows you to animate thousands of corpses and control their ghosts. Necromancy? Yes but to animate thousands would be an insane essence drain.You do realize this is standard practice for DL armies? They do have machines with enchantments on them to raise the dead.

But he's also not dumb enough to risk himself in battle against beings approaching his age. Besides, cannon fodder fights cannon fodder, this much I've learned from Exalted, the armies are socking it too one another backed up by charms and effects from their respective keepers. And you all too forget one thing, DL's can shapeshift in limited forms but they can do it, so he can slip away as well.
Once more I assert this point, that no matter how hard they try, unless they truly find his weakness, risk the monumental task of venturing into the Underworld they won't be rid of him. Shatter his army they might, but he will never go down. He'll keep coming back for more, and like the armies of yore, more powerful and terrifying than any will suspect. Besides he has one key on his side.
Surprise. virtually NO ONE, absolutely no one, read the books for this, know he's coming, so the opening salvos of this fight will be his and he will add to his ranks, 2 for 1 from every mortal killed and supply his ranks, he's not here for the land. He's here to consolidate, build his ranks and kill whomever is in his ways. I would suspect it would take as much time for Lunars to really kick the motor going against him when word finally spreads, so he has time to build and dig in if need be.
Just kill him normally and destroy his army. Bye bye for a couple of centuries.Safim said:I am pretty sure that when you half a dozen first age lunars want you dead, then you are not coming back, deathlord or not. some firstager surely still has his toothbrush of primodial slaying lying around somewhere and that's it. or they just chain him up and throw him into the void at one point or another...
