If youre up against these, you need to try and pack damage into them whenever possible.

First up, his shooting attack has been returned to having 36 range while keeping d3 shots, allowing him to provide a potent game-long shooting threat. The Reanimation Beam is clearly very good to have on a big unit that is under fire, but with the effect being so short ranged and requiring visiblity, its frequently going to be impossible to set it up without this being visible, and its so squishy for the cost that its a tough sell. Dead. Thats it. Finally, thePlasmancer. Relentless March gives any CORE units that start their move within 6 an extra inch of movement if they make a Normal Move or advance.
