''The bloated, putrescent warlock called the Doom Feaster is a scourge upon western Immoren. Once an elder of the Stonemark clan of ogrun in the Bitewind Peaks, Anamag changed with the coming of Thagrosh. When she was touched with blight, it filled her with insatiable hunger, making grotesque that which once drew her to Dhunia. Her sons and daughters became warmongers who slaughtered and died in Everblight’s name. When Everblight saw fit to forge Anamag into a warlock, she became the Doom Feaster, and each body she devours magnifies her arcane prowess.

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}= 
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
Anamag is a spell focused support caster that functions well with the Blighted Ogrun options. She is also an Ogrun and her stats reflect this. She has quite a versatile toolbox for infantry support. With Bond of Gristle & Bone, Carnage, and Fury's Strength she can buff any infantry in her list. Her special rule Ritual Slaughter rewards you for taking Blighted Ogrun, and occasionally allows you some spell-slinging shenanigans (like, pulling a target closer to your main force with a well arced Gallows, or strip off upkeeps with Hex Blast, before the other units hit their targets).

===Feat Thoughts ===
Her feat, Field of Bones, further increases her armies offensive potential and is basically a round of powerhouse Ogrun to sweep through most anything. Make no mistake - it is every bit as deadly on other infantries as on Ogruns. Your support models, like Shepherds and Spell Martyrs also get Dark Shroud, so feel free to run into melee with them to lower your enemy's ARM. Grievous wounds allow you to sweep through Tough infantry screens, or cripple critical systems/aspects on your charge targets.

===Spell thoughts===
* '''Carnage''' - +2 to hit for the entire army triggered by the first model to activate in the turn (or even a Vengeance attack) is always a good way to start. Ritual Slaughter to trigger Carnage frees up your order of activations a lot.
* '''Gallows''' or '''Hex Blast''' are both situational zaps that when they are hot really mess up the enemy and when they aren't really aren't worth casting.
* '''Bond of Gristle & Bone''' is a useful defensive upkeep. Feign Death is useful on the approach especially with Rise from [[Ammok]] and the native tough on the blighted ogrun.
* '''Fury's Strength''' is not an upkeep so it can be cast onto three units on the same turn if that's what is called for.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* No speed buff for her army
* Plain average defensive stats for a model on medium base
* Sensitive to anti-magic techs
* 2 of her great support spells are not upkeeps, and needed to be recast (on the other hand, this makes you less vulnerable to anti upkeep techs)
* She's an infantry-support caster, beware with anti-infantry lists 

===Tricks & Tips===
* Ritual Slaughter can be triggered by Impact Attacks, as well as Vengeance attacks too.

=List Building Advice =
===Strategy===
Anamag is pretty strong in attrition; defending key units in her army, while pumping up their offensive capabilities alike. She has next to no threat extenders (outside Vengeance from Primal Terrors, and Gorag's minifeat), so make sure you tie up the enemy, before delivering a crippling charge.  

===Theme thoughts===
{{Header|[[Primal Terrors]]}}
This theme was basically made for Anamag, and is where she'll be 99% of the time. With Vengeance you are getting your Blighted Ogrun up fast for one round of hate.
* [[Blighted Rotwings]] - Your second line of jammers beside the Hellmouths, plus occasional MAT fixers. They can effectively finish off wounded enemies thanks to Finisher.
* [[Blighted Ogrun Warmongers]] - Lining up all the support from Carnage, the Rotwings, the [[Warmonger War Chief]] and Gorag, these guys become effectively MAT 12 with P+S 20 Charge attacks under her feat and Fury's Strength. Just watch out for Berserker attacks, or have enough living targets nearby to trigger Blood Drinker.
* [[Blighted Ogrun Warspears]] - STR buff, plus thrown weapons, you get the picture.
* [[Chosen of Everblight]] - Bond of Gristle & Bone make them more resilient and Feign Death keep them safe at range after successful tough rolls. Fury's Strength on top and her feat make them hit with POW 16 impact (14 + Dark Shroud) followed by an effective P+S 19 cavalry charge attack.
* [[Ammok the Truthbearer|Ammok]] - Tough/Feign Death/Rise/Vengeance combination on your Warmongers thanks to his leadership as well as some anti Incorporeal tech.

{{Header|[[Children of the Dragon]]}}
Though you can't take advantage on the Ritual Slaughter, a possible +4 (+6 with the Blackfrost Shard) damage swing on the Legion's most capable, weapon-master infantries is hard to pass.

{{Header|[[Ravens of War]]}}
Raptors under Bond of Gristle & Bone may actually survive blast damages, while Grotesques and Hellmouths also appreciate buffs for their hitting powers. Hellmouth tentacles under Bond of Gristle & Bone are immune to unboosted POW10s.

{{Header|[[Oracles of Annihilation]]}}
* Blighted Orgun you can include in this theme:
** [[Thagrosh0]] - An in faction option to trigger Ritual Slaughter and he runs a very effective battlegroup and hands out free animi!
** [[Gudrun1]] an excellent flag camper.
** [[Gudrun2]] A defense buff for other Minion models and a hard hitting and sturdy solo, Fog of war from Thags0 and his Kinetic Distorsion stack, so Minions will enjoy +4 DEF to shooting
** The [[Ogrun Bokur]] can take a forward playing solo as his Client, such as a Virtue Champ, and gain +2/+2 to his offences. Add in Veteran Leader from a [[Blight Archon]] and you are looking at MAT 11 charges or MAT 9 slams. Those slams also set up prime targets for Thagrosh's Blight Bursts.
* [[Virtue Champion]]s - The feat make them hit like trucks at P+S 16 and Carnage makes them MAT 10. Thanks to Peel Back the Layers they are fully boosted, too.
* [[Virtue Host]] - Slightly weaker than the Champs, but they still hit extremely hard. Fury's Strength also goes very well on them.

===Battlegroup ===
* The [[Blightbringer]] buffs the STR and ARM of Infantry by 2. This stacked with Gristle&Bone and Fury's Strength means +4 STR and ARM on top of the Ogruns beefy frame.
* [[Golab]] is her pet warbeast that she can take in sny theme. It offers another layer of protection versus ranged assassination attempts, and also serves as a flying source of [[RFP]] and semi-grievous wounds.
