themortalgod Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 So I was reading the Warscroll for the Thorns of the Briar Queen (Nightvault warband) and for the first time I actually feel like an Underworlds Warband is really good in AoS. Possibly too good? For 150 pts you get 6 slightly better than usual chainwrasp hordes model (roughly worth ~50pts), which puts the Briar Queen herself at about 100pts. 100pts for a Wizard with a decent shooting attack and a potentially game changing spell seems really good to me? Especially considering most similar wizards are in the 140pts range. Thoughts? I'm feeling she will be a shoe in for my NH army going forward.

I am a huge fan of her as well, however she suffers from "there are better and more synergistic characters than her" syndrome. I don't think there is anything wrong with her, she is pretty good and I will be using her a lot, but she isn't as good as a Guardian of Souls for instance.

Fair, but one could argue that they are not mutually exclusive. I intend to run both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxler Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I think she has a place. If you want a second wizard and already have a guardian, I'd say she is a no brainer for the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I’ve played against her a fair bit. It’s annoying to have to spend time clearing out a small unit when it’s trying to grab an objective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
