How to reveal hidden beastmen encampments in territory?

[FizzMan]

Does just moving around enough give you more opportunities to see them?

If I can see the telltale signs of a encampment but their army does not appear is there a way to directly attack them?

If at war, they can choose to attempt an ambush when you walk through them.
And they are forced to attack/retreat or use beast-paths to escape your ZoC.

Otherwise, your detection chances already rolled at the start of your turn.

If you walk over them they will try to ambush your army.

So either you try to reveal them with a hero.

Or walk over their lord and hope you have enough ambush defence or you can win the ambush if you can't defend against it.

Rush armies should have no trouble just charging headfirst into their ambush but soft armies like empire or kislev can be problematic.

If you are not playing on legendary you can just keep reloading saves of previous turns until one of your characters manage to spot them.

Hmmm hero is not revealing them unfortunately...

Playing as Mother Ostrankya and I'm trying to get some early wins and essence with the beastmen army near mortahi, but it's hard baiting a attack at the right time.

Sacrificing a lord works.

Step on them

If you can see them just once: Set them as war target to your ally. Clicking on "zoom to target" should reveal their location.

Then you can try to use heroes as usual, or if it is a smaller / harmless army then walk right on top of them.

Do this.

Get an extra Lord
Put your main lord in ambush stance next to this new lord.

Beastmen will go for that single lord if you're at war. If Ambush is successful it's a slaughter, if it's detected the beastmen can't run far away enough to hide again.

After that is done, just fire the single lord and proceed to get rid of Beastmen settlements.
