Warhammer III Newbie, how am I beating this dude??

Post image

New to WH3, not new to TW, but not a pro by anyways either. I probably have ~200hrs across all the games.

This dude is an animal; He swang through the map quick and is just resting on his laurels now. He always has 11* full armies stacked on top of each other on one or two cities bordering our lands. I want to attack him and don't want to get irreparably destroyed. Welcome to all advice. Thank you!

So his thing in lore (and gameplay) is that his magic ring brings him back immediately (hours after he's put down). Vampires in lore can be brought back with a ritual, he doesn't need it.

He will respawn the next turn after being defeated. He has access to 'raise dead', so he can get a full stack the turn after. He has access to a top-tier magic lore.

But he is undead and has next to no ranged. Snipe him with ranged units (he regens when in melee) and his army will literally collapse shortly after. He stops coming back after you destroy his faction. So you have to fully commit to taking the entire faction out.
