a probably more useful tip for this game :
you have the b2 skratties right ?
so you could bloodhunt a bit and empower one to b3 then and let him forge some bloodthorns .
they are great weapons for your gigant leaders as scs or vor banelords too .
forging a water bracelet for 1 doesn't hurt too and is easy
then you have a b3w3 skratti which can summon the ice devils they are great scs .
if you are extremely lucky one gets e.g. heroic hitpoints as heroic ability or heroic quickness
this is then a true monster against everything expect ermorian undead hordes were lifeleech doesn't work
