which warrior sprtie is the beat to use... weak, standard, tough?

It's a toss-up between the W and the T versions

The weak version is great for it's point cost, but the tough version has that 1 extra click of LI. Allowing you to push the warrior sprite to gain tactical advantage while still maintaining its' LI.

I think it's the weak version.:D

tough can actually attack. I believe strongly in not using a fig that can't actually hit something.

Hmmm......


I dont know. I dont use them. But so far people I've seen using them use the weak or the tough version.

Small games = weak version

Big battles = tough version.

That's how I like it, the points cost difference is pretty big, the tough ones are difficult to use in small games IMO.

weak is the best for small unit count

bro, their right, weak for small battle while those T are for big ones. there's the big difference in point cost (19 is to 27).

I vote for weak. The *** can actually attack, but their range isn't great and if your main purpose is to use their LI to protect something bigger, don't waste the points on ***. If you actively want to use them to attack, go w/ ***, but by the time you get close enough to shoot things, you're going to be close enough for them to base you rather quickly. I made that mistake when trying to take on a formation of steam golems. :p


(made comment about shooting LI fig...oops!)

Can't shot them LI IMHO, but I do agree that * for small games and *** for conquest. Put 5 *** in a formation and then use them as a secondary attack, bet ya your opponent will ignore it. Till the hit, that is.

It really depends on what tactic you plan for the WS.

If the plan is to use the WS to block LOS for non MB attacks then I would recommend the * version. Very affordable even in a 200 point conflict. If you think you need a bit more versatility, potential need to push, and/or late game clean up attack then I would recommend the *** version.

Remember, Stonethrowers can fire over the WS (or any LOS blocker) with indirect fire, and MB goes right through. In these cases you may need to sacrifice your WS and base the offending attacker. In these cases use the * version since they are more cost efficient.

i prefer the * version. it costs 8 points less, and if you plan on using a wall of 4 or 5 of them, thats an extra 30-40 points for your army.

thnx for the thought guys...

I like,
2 weak and 1 tough! Use the formation attack option to the max, and you get a wall wide enough to protect at least one figure from Corpheus.

Most people overlook the Tough attack... I was able to wreak some havoc with a small formation of them in a Conquest game.
