I am having a lot of trouble getting into the flanks of opposing rank and file units because of the free reforms after battle and non-fleeing slaves. It was my bread and butter during the 7th ed. Is anyone else having this issue? Do people still use this tactic now that we have unbreakable units?

are your slaves breaking from combat often? If you are using them to hold a unit in place then they should be steadfast (are you running them horde?) and near the general & bsb for ld 10 rerollable. I haven't had any trouble with them this way, its those stupid scenarios with random deployment where i inevitably end up with my tarpits on the opposite side of the table from my general/bsb

No, i've stuck with units of 20 naked slaves, hence no steadfast. Obviously i need to reconsider my slave unit size. 40... 5 across x 8 deep?

Yeah ive been going 49 /w muso for most games. gives long lasting steadfast and in teh rare case when u fail stub 10 reroll you explode with lots of extra ranks! usually with a warlock engy up front with some skyre device of destruction
