    Efficient response

    Tesla arcs punish massed light infantry, and reanimation absorbs the losses of a prolonged fight.

    Execution: Hold a line and let the Boyz come; do not advance into them.

    Risk: Being surrounded still wipes the squad, which denies reanimation.

These are editorial recommendations built on provisional pre-release statistics, assuming an even engagement on open ground with no upgrades. Terrain, numbers and timing will often matter more than the matchup itself.
