I played SwordSworn ever since i started MW:DA, so i started hording SwordSworn figs eventually i found out that the SwordSworn gnome is realy good. i now use at least 5 gnomes in every army i build. to keep a long story short i now have 65 SwordSworn gnomes and i am now the Gnome King in my community
I just want to know if there are other gnome kings or queens out there, if so what faction
for those of you who dont know what a SS gnome does:
19pts, 135arc, 3/10 ballistic
I own around 30ish Highlander Gnomes. I used to use them all the time as Artierlly Defenders But Peasants are just so much more fun. I have around 20 Highlander Peasants
SS gnomes are indeed great, the only thing that hurts them (and very little) is the Min range, otherwise they are amazing pieces by themselves, a regular trio can help bring down just about anything!.
I have an HL friend who alsohoards gnomes, he's done rather well with them, and they are definitly the kings of last minute captures, having taken My Yuri Mashnovska on the last turn (on his first click!), and even more people!
I prefer DF-Gnomes (i own around 16), they are fast, have a long Dial and are absolutely immune against energy weapons, which helped me to capture many Arnis Drummonds.
Both the Dracs and Fedrats have good gnomes. I do like the extra range on the SSw version. And after all this time, I only have a dozen of each. My HL gnomes just got adopted so I might have about a dozen there now too.
Gnomes are great to have, and the Raidens gave an energy option with similar abilities. Until the Sallys came out, we thought 20 points for infy was high, now it just seems average.
Let us not forget the grandaddy of all Gnomes, Tora's Claw. It's like running a mini-mech. You use it more than a standard Gnome so you can get it to the sweet spot. If your opponent ignors it because he thinks other things are more pressing Tora's Claw will
eat him up. An awesome fig for 24 points!
SS Gnomes are, next to HL, RotS and SS Cavaliers, are my favorite cavalry (Mounted in HL Lampreys or Shuns) infantry. 3/10 range and AP is cool. 6 attack...Well, that's what formations are for!
I, too, am a fan of Gnomes. My faves are the DF Gnomes; long dial (a shocking 7 for DF infantry), decent speed, and decent effect on the battle field. My friends have learned to fear my little Gnome formations. Even more fun is to put a few of them in Shuns or Garrots... heh heh...
What I'm curious to see, though, is the next wave of Gnomes in Falcon's Prey... we know (from convention shots) that Wolf's Dragoons are gonna get one (But who else?!)...
I'm also a fan of the DF gnomes, though they are pretty expensive. The long life span is awesome for infantry. It is fun to have to tell an enemy that even though his assault mech hit my gnome, it is still around to give him some pain in the ---
