Even in the 2 games when not vs gunlines the swordmasters were the standout support unit. <br /><br />After I posted this, my during post musing turned into the following idea:<br /><br />Eagle prince:-same kit as dragon<br />BSB-same<br />Noble: AoC and Amulet of light, GW<br />lvl2: Scroll (light)<br />2x25 Spears: FC<br />10 Archers<br />7 Swordmasters<br />2x25 Wlions: FC<br />2 Eagles<br /><br />Still have mobile slightly less killy Prince and limited magic "exposure" (but with magic missiles)-however have the killing power of 2 blocks of Wlions (both under silly Auck max points/unit comp) and 2 nobles that can either join the wlions for some overkill/or join the spears to give them some hitting power. Amulet of light is not on a unit champ so it can be mobile and placed where it needs to be-just now on a killy character who wants to be in the fight-but is not the BSB so limiting points exposure. <br /><br />My basic principle with Helves is "maximise the s6 attacks" and "limit the points leakage" while also being mobile enough to get some combo charges in. With the new scary being monsterous calv with 2+ AS, the re-rolling s6 becomes ever so more important to crack them open. The Prince helps here because he hits the flank and cannot be stomped + Ogre blade means still s6 with i8 if in the range of ASL bubble. I think that build is dominating because it has not run into a wall of wlions yet.Joelatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267751235327398650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823097997959221213.post-8476596477780785792011-12-28T10:46:41.938-08:002011-12-28T10:46:41.938-08:00Copy cat...

You will regret it if your dragon ends up with them and he gets challenged out by a stupid champion.<br /><br />'Find a place' for the ruby ring. Why? <br />well if you roll 9 dice (for instance) you don't have to roll so many dice at each spell. giving you less chance to miscast. 3 Spells is about all a mage ever casts in a magic phase neways.<br /><br />Btw .. have you considered chariots instead of sword masters. Why? well they wont get shot off because you have a dragon/ eagle rider to shoot first :) I know they didn't go so good for you in vermintide however<br /><br />Ogre blade is prob overkill... Sword of Might will most likely do the same job...(let mr dragon stomp face literally) if you are getting stretched for points. and maybe get the re-roll armour save on him instead(helm of fortune?)PaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020409541094456187noreply@blogger.com
