just curious to hear from the forums here...what would you consider the absolute WORST units in the game? the most useless, overcosted paperweights you can find in boosters?

the Sprints with a 0 attack and damage?
the Combat Engineers with a 0 range?
the 290 point Blade?
Cora Nova Cat?
any Rambulance?

post some of your suggestions, what are the worst out there?

I would have said Pyro until a little while ago, but y'know now I think I'm going to have to say Combat Engeniers.

What's the point of a sprint Helicopter then if it doesn't have attack or damage? WHATS THE FRIGGEN POINT!


Worst unit? Combat engineers by far. Kal Radick also qualifies.

Kal Raddick at least has the chance to deal damage. ROTS and Liao Sprints? Well, they can base and go for VC3... but so can an atv or trike squad for 1/3 the pts... and the infiltrating infantry can infiltrate and also shoot back...

I'd say the Laser Battery with 0 movement and flamers. I like my Combat Engineers. SC ones have 8 attack and 2 damage w/ flamers (3 damage versus infnatry and vehicles):)

ok tow things.

1. That spring helicopter (at least for BR) IS NOT THAT BAD!
It can carry a troop, infiltrate and has a click of command. Not too bad.

2. WORST UNIT EVER IS CEASAR SPANO....IMO

Hatchetman(s)?

I agree. I had him for a while. Had no idea how to use him. Kinda like the SW Laser Team.

Combat Engineers....I haven't seen anyone use these yet. Not even as army point fillers.

<<What's the point of a sprint Helicopter then if it doesn't have attack or damage? WHATS THE FRIGGEN POINT!>>

Use the BR elite Sprint for 25" infiltrate then move half the distance and deploy a Merc Fa Shih into base contact with an arty piece. That's what they're good for. That's the point!

how bout hauberks?(spelling?) they suck and are way too expensive to only do 1 damage (for the most part)

I like to use the Liao combat engineers to use the special abilites. If I need someone healed, I push them onto an artillery marker and get them killed. They are perfect to use as cannon fodder because they are cheap.

Oh wait I almost forgot my favorite piece of ####.

The Highlander Centurion. What a waste of plastic.

It's not even heavy enough to be a paperweight.

I like to use Hauberks in ranged combat formations. I personally believe that firestarters, hatchetmen, and most of all industrial mechs are totally worthless.

so far, lots of agreement, but not much by way of new ideas yet... heh.

in case anyone's wondering, i'm asking because there is a game coming up at my venue that is a 450-point, "Build your worst army" match. you build something truly craptacular and then trade, forcing your opponent to make it work. there are certain rules regarding the build, of course, but i was hoping to see some ideas for an all-star list of point sinks.

Pyro Petersen is an excellent start, i think... thanks for that one... heh.
