Necrofex Colossus
Any idea how to counter that unit as elves ? I was destroying their army without any problem but enemy come with 5 or 6 Necrofex Colossus and few leviatans and i lost my 1k army when he lost 30 units, when i realized how much dmg they doing from range i decide to rush them but in melee they were good too ;/

Mass shooting. They can tear chunks out of your archers but ultimately can just be overwhelmed by a mass of arrows, even generic archers/LSG will do the job, and if you have sisters they go down even faster.

Fill them with arrows. You'd be surprised how damage even generic archers do without AP since they're extremely accurate against such a large model.
Mass cheap archers since they dont really have the best armor values. Sisters of Avelorn is good if you can mass them. But really, dragons would kill Necrofex fast. Spearmen chaff would do well and Dragon Princes when they are engaged in melee.

thanks for the tips guys, if enemy had just 2, that would be nice but most of his army was necrofex and leviatans so that was kind a suprise for me hahha. He TOTALY crushed my army

Well if the enemy's going to go long on an army like that then you might just have to field more than 20 units to stop him. Your light archers cost far, far less.

I got two HE armys cornered by an army with nine of these monsters. I savesummed lots on that one, since I didn't want to loose my lords or heros which were not quite level 20 and imortal yet, I couldn't run, and I had problems with the second army reinforcements bypasing the map and all sorts of problems, eventualy got a placement with the coast army sandwhiched between two of mine, and after kiteing some of his units managed to get some draggons on his lord and kill it, all the while my sea guard units were getting mauled by the Necrofex, and trying to manage them so they concentrated on one at a time.
And then, after heavy losses I managed to win without loosing any important units, aaaand the game crashed during the post battle load screen and I had to try yet again.
My armys were heavy on the SeaGuards, with some spearmen and or Pheonix guard to melle, a couple of cav archers to kite, and a pair of Dragon princes, as well as a couple of dragons.
Dragons don't fair too well vs pirates I've found, since pirates missile units tend to chew them up real good. still, they can be good if managed well and you keep an eye on them.
