The Thousand Maws and Beast Pens
Select The Thousand Maws to play Rakarth. Battles, raiding and settlement captures can add creatures to his Beast Pens. The available creatures depend on what he encounters, making expeditions a way to develop the army as well as gain territory.
Recruit around the animals you have actually collected. A future monster is no help to an army fighting now, so keep an infantry core and plan replacements before beginning another offensive.
Give monsters an infantry screen
Rakarth is a Beastmaster whose army combines Dark Elf soldiers with large creatures. Send monsters into fights where friendly infantry can support them, and watch for enemy missiles or troops equipped to fight large targets.
Dreadspears can hold space around the creatures and protect the army’s flanks. Corsairs can pressure enemy infantry while monsters create another threat. Avoid letting every large unit bunch together around a single regiment.
Magic and the Beastlord
A Sorceress supplies magic alongside Rakarth’s personal fighting role. Choose supporting heroes for the force you have assembled: the needs of a monster-heavy army differ from those of an infantry formation.
Rakarth’s black dragon Bracchus is part of his identity. Mount choices develop with the character; plan battles around the mount and abilities currently available to him.
The Thousand Maws and the Beast Pens
Rakarth is Dark Elf Free-LC on the same ownership rows as Lokhir. The Thousand Maws fill the Beast Pens from battles, raids, and captures. The creatures on offer depend on what the campaign meets. An infantry core still has to fight before the next monster arrives. Bracchus, his black dragon, is part of that identity.
Dreadspears hold space around the beasts. Corsairs pressure infantry. A Sorceress brings the magic. Lokhir is the fleet lord. Malekith is the Witch King. The lore page follows the beastmaster and the pens. A captured monster is this campaign's next recruit.
