If you can get a buff or 2 on them Minons of Utgar can mess him up with a few 4 or 6 (or even 8 with 2x +1 buffs and luck) skull attacks. I think the key with Jotun is you either have to take him down fast with big hitters, like the Kozukes or minions or you have to wear him down with fast ranged units that he can't catch.
The best hero against Jotun on a large game board IMO is Mimring. Mimring moves better because of flying and with 8 range he can stay out of Jotuns way. It can take a few rounds but one on one Jotun will go down without Mimring taking a scratch. Character Sig. Comming soon..... |

I'd say Aubrien Archers. They can pelt him from afar and have elevation most likely while doing so. Add Acolarh or Mittens, and so much the better.

While having fast moving ranged squads could be considered a nice strategy to kill Jotun, you have to remember that he can still go for those helpless figures that are still hanging out in your starting zone and such. Instead of outmobilizing jotun, I think it would be a much better idea to kill him swiftly, my first game against jotun I managed to deal about 2 damage with kravs before he got to the base and the kravs had to engage him to keep him from obliterating the remaining core of my army, and then my blastatrons and gladiatrons managed to take him down(they had also completly decimated brunak before hand, and in that space I only lost one of each to aubrien archer potshots) and had 2 remaining after the skirmish.
All in all I would say it's best to swarm jotun with concentrated heavy attacks, also crixus would be a prime candidate with his shield, only tone damage at a time the majority and being able to deal 2-3. "I believe that a picture says 1000 words, but smileys make it all good." - ninthdoc |

Ne-Gok-Sa can take him...chances off that is 1/20 tho... but if u happen to roll that 20 u can onslaught his army with his own guy!!!

Offensively I try to utilize him very quickly. Try placing all three order markers on him in the first round. You'll be knee deep in the enemy in no time.

I like Mimring. Good movement and 8 range to fry him.

How about:
Deathstalkers..........100 Omnicron Snipers....100 Dumutef Guard.........25 Total=225 pts The Deathstalkers are fast enough to engage Jotun first, cause notable damage, and possibly take him out immediately (if they get a lucky Maul or two). Whatever the case, if they're positioned right and because of their size, it should take Jotun 3 rounds minimum to get past them (assuming Jotun doesn't decide to take leaving swipes). While he's tied up, you can position your Omnicrons on high ground, spread far apart from each other, and take down Jotun rather quickly. The Dumutef Guard is just to fill out the 225 point package, but if positioned right, he can occupy Jotun and give the Omnicrons one more round to finish him off. |

Maul only works on Small or Medium figures.

Plus Crixus only costs 90 vs Jotuns 225, so you've lots of extra points to fill out your army (with some ranged units!). |
