If your army is primarily MacDirks, you have to play Alistair close to the front and let him lead the charge. There's no other way for the squad to get his bonus; they can't attack him themselves. He's able to take a fair amount of bruising, though, and the squad around him just keeps getting deadlier. I've seen the Macdirks deliver 8-die attacks regularly. This is one of the rare squads who bond best with their like champion. In fact, they're not that extraordinary without him.
Not one step backwards!
