I can help you rgrayua! I have played and played against Striker armies, and i can tell you, the guy is not invincable.

Some of the strategies i have seen had just been tactical calls during the game rather than relying on the figures.

One thing that you can do is try to corner him into a side or terrain created corner. It sounds hard because as you know the striker has flight. If you do plan your army construction well, one can corner him. Im sure you usually have some ranged formation in your army? If not that might be an idea for the next time you face a striker. Run a melee or harraser group towards the striker, and then creep up behind with the ranged formation. Also position the ranged formation in a direction where the striker might move or if where he might be in your range so you can attack or push to attack when he runs from your melee harraser group.

Or you can make your entire army ranged attackers, so all you do is move your army forward with harrasers, and close in the gap. Yes he does have a 14 inch range, but he cant shoot all your figs! Close the gap as soon as you can! Some ideas for ranged formations are Arties with a healer type, Orc Launchers with a shaman to pump up. Also with the orc launchers you have pierce which will be a big bonus for you, as his invuln will vanish instantly, and boom!! Pop the striker 2 times for 3 clicks, and he will be down for the count!!!! Move in quickly with a melee or auxilury ranged group and finish him!!!!! That happened to me a few weeks ago, as i got pummeled by gunners and boomers!!! Man that hurt for along time!!!!!!

Hope this helps!!!!

I mainly use blocking terrain, and have have warrior sprites between me and the striker, the Sprites move when the striker moves, while the rest of my army moves when he has rested.

I have played mk so long it jsut comes naturally to me. ML hleps also, you just need to makes sure you can close that 14 inch gap, or well placed blocking terrian.

Of course, one of my oppoents allways pushes the strker needlessly, thus giving me the advatage and allowing me to take the striker down a few notches

Only one person around here has a Striker. I still haven't managed to beat him, but that's more because he's a good player.

Here's what I have found:

* Never move to within 24" of the Striker. Wait for him to come to you. It's all to do with 2-turn sphere of influence.

* Never hit a Striker for less than 5 points of damage. (or in other words, don't hit him unless you will hit him past bound). Do sometihng else instead.. anything else. Being hit into the Bound clicks is often just what the Striker wants. Hitting for 3 damage is the worst you can possibly do.

* Make sure you have range/arc on the Striker the moment he gets into his Bound clicks. This is the weak moment of the Striker, especially if you make him push into these clicks.

* A very tough, battle armoured/toughnessed ranged attacker will take down a striker. This includes Techun, Thunder Golem, enhanced stormy, etc. If you play it out with equally skilled players, it just comes out that way.

* If there's a healer on the table, take it out first.

when the styker gets to his bound clicks the highest attack rating he has is 11 ... not so bad... after that it's 10... 11 and 10 have a probability to miss figswith high defense battle armor... This I am almost a 100% assured... If you really want to bug him ... then use a windminion and watch hi fletch and scratch his head from thinking how to take it down.....

Hit it, do lots of damage, hope you dont die when he hits back, repeat.
