How to Fight Against the Dreamer?
The Dreamer is going to want to manipulate your models. Whether she is shooting your warrior models with a stationary gun or damaging you from afar with Abyssal gate and placing your models into prickly situations you will have to play it safe. Shield guards can keep your caster safe from her stationary guns. While spell immunities or Arcane Vortex can keep important pieces safe from Abyssal Gate. Really high armor could be a problem for the Dreamer and you should abuse this accordingly.
