Character Snipeing

What is the best way of taking out characters in units. Reason I asked I just recently played a demon army with a character in almost every unit. It would have been nice to have taken out a couple of them, made a closer game of it.

Death Magic.

You can take advantage of the character being in the front rank:
Suicide charges with small units with no champ?
Charges with killer units? (like a unit with a champion and with an assassin).

Add to the list; Cauldron killing blow + high initiative. Chariot suicide charges. Harpies if the character is soft enough.

yep, CoB KB with high initiative indeed. It's the cheapest way to go, whether you use suicide units or not in conjunction to that is up to you. I use Shades and KB for a quick second turn kill

Depending on what position the character is in (middle or edge) - Hydra charge straight towards the character. Direct all Beastmaster swings and Hydra attacks at the character. Breath weapon and thunderstomp contribute towards CR.
