Been have some fun with fastsim and testing some skills on Ali. The dazzle skill that Anslem has is not that great when fighting lots of enemies but when fighting bosses it's awesome. Have a play with this setup
Yes not many codex skills but doesn't seem to need um. 3 in recovery as you need to suicide him on evil queen but room to play there maybe.
Have to tailor the troops per battle but try the bosses on ali adventures and see what you think. Prolly not the best general for every boss but pretty close.
