trarux Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi team So Im making a list with 2 units of Evocators 1 with 5 models and 1 with 10 models I have 5 with swords from the Soul Wars box and now the question is if I should have 5 with swords and 10 with staves or 10 with swords and 5 with staves. or just all with swords ?

FPC Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 The math favors grandstaves a bit vs. most targets, but it’s not a massive difference. I only have sword ones so I run those, and evocators are so good I’ve never felt like I needed the staves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The World Tree Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Grandstaves look cooler and have longer range. The bigger unit should go with grandstaves for range reasons. I'd keep all weapons in one unit the same for ease of rolling (plus the damage difference is negligible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucur Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Statistically staves are better (about 1 wound vs 4+ sv at 5 models), plus they have range which allows them more freedom when piling in. The only advantage swords have is consistency. They roll more dice, thus are less likely to spike either way, while dmg2 on the staves means either 2 or 0, so sometimes you'll just whiff and sometimes you'll get fireworks. As a sidenote you pretty much always want a stave on the prime, as the bonus attack ×2 damage is more valuable than another 1 dmg -1rend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
