= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
[[File: Megalith classic.jpg|thumb|Classic sculpt]]
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
Megalith is an upgraded [[Woldwarden]]. More expensive but tougher, hits harder in melee, has a higher magic ability, and has a much better animus (one that flattens the defense of the enemy).
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
[[File:Baldur-the-stonecleaver.jpg|thumb|[[Baldur1]] ]]
[[File:72059 EpicBaldurWEB.jpg|thumb|[[Baldur2]] ]]
* Megalith is Baldur's personal warbeast, and [[Baldur2]] really likes the healing bond. Both [[Baldur2]] and [[Baldur1]] have decent spells to geomance, and provide free charges.
* [[Lanyssa Ryssyl, Nyss Sorceress]] or the [[Blackclad Wayfarer]] - Hunter's Mark is an excellent threat range extender that provides free charges. And free charges make for some interesting angles in melee.
 
===Bones Combos===
Anyone can take him in Bones, which opens up a few more combos. Warlocks with good spells for Megalith to geomance are:
* [[Bradigus Thorle the Runecarver]] - Rift is a great spell a lot of the time, and the Woldwarden really benefits from Synergy.
* [[Grayle the Farstrider]] - Gallows.
* [[Krueger the Stormwrath]] - Geomancing Forked Lightning gives even more crispy fried infantry
* [[Krueger the Stormlord]] - Gallows, Telekinesis (especially in the opening turns), and Lightning Storm are all good spells.
* [[Mohsar the Desertwalker]] - Crevasse is a good spell
Of those, Baldur2, Bradigus, and Krueger2 are the clear winners.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* Easy to hit
* Expensive
 
=== Tricks & Tips===
* Remember that 5" from Megalith means his aura covers a lot of ground.
* Geomancy:
** {{PAGENAME}} can boost attack and damage of spells it casts via Geomancy.
** Geomancy doesn't require you to "use up" your Combat Action, just to be forced. So you can use it ''as well'' as your melee attacks, and/or after Trampling.

Magic Ability

This model can make the following Special Attacks or Special Actions. Doing so counts as casting a spell. If a Cost is listed, the model does not pay that cost. A cost might be listed because the Special Action or Special Attack is also a Spell listed on a Leader model.

If a model uses a Special Action or Special Attack to cast a spell in this manner, they cannot buy additional melee or ranged attacks unless otherwise stated in the spell, because using a Special Action or Special Attack is a Combat Action choice other than using Initial Attacks.


Geomancy - Once per activation while in its controller's control range, this model can be forced to cast one of the spells on its controller's card with a cost of 3 or less. This model cannot cast upkeep spells or spells with RNG of Self or CTRL.
