Range is a good place to start. Another good option is fast melee units. Units that can run up and hit him first. Vipers are good for this. Especially if you get a frenzy or two. Also, he'll be wasting his huge attack on units with no defence.

Warriors of ashra or crixus are both good Krug killers.

Well first off Krug is weak against capital letters .
Secondly, the WoA are great counter units, as are anything that can kill him instantly (Runa, DED, Sudema.) Also, if he is negated by Morsebane than he is little more than a tough, healthy, and big orc. |

Range and roborats, tie up krug with 1 roborat at a time, so he can not kill 2 guys at once. Keep moving away from the krugster with your range units and using the scatter to put more rats in the way. Keep your shooting squad away from each other so if Krug does disengage, he only gets to attack one of the shooters.
Height really helps, I find a lot of boards are tought on krugs slow movement, you can stay away from him pretty easy. Heroscape - The Game I Have Waited My Whole Life For! GenCon - a must for any true Scaper! |

I've seen DW 8000 kill Krug in one turn, but I wouldn't call that an effective counter. When against Krug, I usually let him walk around with his 2 attack for a while and then unload my entire army on him at once. If you attack and wound him, you have to finish him. Do not allow him to get strong and then cause havoc. He dies just as easily as Braxas does, same life and defense. Just unload on him until he dies - be relentless.

Sir Denrick's Giant Killer ability gives him extra attack on Huge figures like Krug.

Jotun is a good counter, I suppose, but he's pricey. You could swarm him with Zombies also, Zombie Onslought is vurry nice, especially since they're a moderately expendable squad. "Thought he, life is wicked in all meridians. I'll die a pagan." |

Warriors of Ashra, and anything that can continuously outrange him. When you do start trying to kill himwith range, toss all 3 order markers on Syvarris, or the Krav Maga, and keep on running!
Alternatively, just do your best to ignore him forever. Don't take leaving engagement swipes on him, and just bide your time and try to win by points. In a recent 3-way game I played on the Migol's Tomb map, it came down to Braxas, Q9, and Krug, with the Q9 player having a few squad members to surpass Braxas in points. As Braxas, I was going to try to take out my opponent's few remaining Deathreavers and then return to the top of the map, which also conveniently had a glyph of gerda due to random assignment. Q9 had not attacked Krug a single time, for fear of wounded smashes. Krug also stopped trying to kill Q9 because he couldn't reach me up top and the other player's Q9 was Krug's only chance at victory. So he thought. It was quite the standoff. Q9 got Braxas down to 1 life left, and then I had her swoop down and bite Krug, causing 4 wounds. Krug then killed Braxas and Q9. I'd much rather see Krug win. Back on how to beat Krug: I've been told stories of Ninjas of the Northern Wind or Isamu dealing with him handily. You need to be fairly lucky with the 20-sider though. I would also think that a well timed attack from Knights of Weston+ Denrick, or Alastair and the McDirks could each be rather effective, especially if Alastair or Krug are slightly wounded prior to the fight. Don't use Grimnak! |

I agree Jotun can take out krug, but he is tricky in the sense if you just really wound krug hard and he gets two good swings at you with a beefed up attack it could spell the end of old pricey Jotun ( wound 6 and your talking about an 8 attack on level ground , 2 good rolls spells trouble for anyone card out there ). I have seen Krug take out the giant a few times, it is truely a beautiful thing when your 120 point guy takes down the big man at 225, ooach.
We also have to take into account that there will probably be a few arrow grunts about, which are sometimes just annoying, but sometimes they play for keeps and kill your guys. The can tie up your guys if nothing else, keep you from shooting at krug is there real job. Krug rocks with the troops behind him, I love large armies based on the orcs!

Kill Krug
When my friend left the room , I put Krug in the blender. When he came back I told him his dog did it....
Actually he's like a tank (without range) and not much armor, ranged is my No. 1 way...he never seems to make it to the 4 th Mass. alive.. |
