How do you counter Hellstorm Rocket Batteries?

[Capitalism, Ho!]

With such a good range and stupid damage output, I'm not sure how best to approach them. Especially as races like the dwarves, where I can't use vanguard flying units to counter them.

What is the go to counter for each faction?

[ANT_IO]

sneaky sniping, cannon, or just pray the rockets miss

[A.Pot]

Use Gyrocopters, Gyrobombers or have Rangers sneak around to shoot them.

Everyone else can pretty much be summed up as use air units or stalking units.

Dwarfs have problems getting to grips with them as they can saturate bomb your army. Generally though gyrocopters are good at getting rid of them so long as the enemy doesn't have a lot of other infantry missile units defending.

They are terrible against foot lords, so advancing a single character usually causes the AI to both try to bomb that character and attack them in melee.

I put a lord in the the middle and just watch him fruitlessly dodge side to side as the bombardment comes.

If faction have flying even bat is good to tie them down while you close up your line.
If not then use sneaking unit on the side use lord or magic caster to lure main army out then goes for the kill.
If non of the above runaway and ambush.

Dwatf cannons make short work of them.

cannons when in range are far more accurate, gyros to hunt them down or rangers to ambush. its a big shift in tactics for the dawi to become the aggressive army but it can be done.

hellstorms are terribly inacurate, their main target are huge infantry based armies, try single entity units, they are by default good against aoe artilery, they are hit less likely, and when they are it dosnt hurt them that much
other than that flyers, lots of flyers... or your own long range, anti-large artilery

College of Pyrotecnics with 1 lord and 19 hellstorms , next turn he dead in fog of war. Guess you can counter them ! Only wish I saw who did it and what he had !1

use vanguard flying units...gyrocopters are quite strong even with supply lines.
otherwise artillery.
