Orcs & goblins are not suited to sitting idle, send the infantry up instead of waiting in front of the ranged units! The only downside is you do have to retain some aggression. With skill trees to buff missile damage as well as ammunition and scrap upgrades to buff them even more, it’s a viable strategy. One of the most aggressive factions in the game, yet still fully capable of sitting on the back foot. You can remove the cavalry for another ranged or front-line unit if you want (not recommended). Some cavalry will be including to chase down fleeing units, as well as another option for dealing with enemy artillery/ranged units. Use it for reference for any generic lord!Įach army will require very little micro play in order to be successful. I’ll also provide basic ranged army comps for each faction. That way, you can put this list to use, across multiple campaigns and multiplayer battles. Instead of choosing a specific legendary lord/starting point, I’ll give you the race/faction as a whole. This list will go through the 10 best ranged factions for you to choose from.

Some factions are based entirely around ranged strategies, making them excellent choices for new players or veterans who enjoy mass fire-power. It’s a solid strategy, especially against the AI who are predictable, regardless of their army composition. Field a ton of powerful ranged units and decimate the enemy as they approach you. Many players prefer the defensive playstyle. Ranged factions are the bread and butter of Total War, even more so in Warhammer 2.
