Wanting a mercenaries topic thread

[Mandzak-Miniatures]

Any chance we might be able to get a mercenaries tab in the “choose allegiance” section? So people can discuss how they will be utilizing said new units and tactics for them?

If this topic is already somewhere else Please ignore and delete the thread

I think the issue here is which mercenary is viable, and how they will be used will be decided upon by the grand alliance, or specific subfaction that will be using them, at which case you'd likely find the threads better suited within each of the grand alliance sections rather than one section of its own..

I'm still waiting to see if we're even allowed to take them in tournaments before I get too deep into whether or not they are even viable.

Sadly just like the realm rules I see the competitive community not using these widely.

Mercs are the same as allies - they should be discussed on a small scale in context of particular army, not even GA

Weird how that is. Late last year when I was just starting out I assumed every tourney would run with them on.  GHB 2k19 pretty explicity states 'Realm rules on, mate. If your list can't deal with Ulgu, tough.' (p 70 GHB 2k19) for their official tourney guidelines, too.

I'd love for merc companies to be an official thing, especially at 2k points where you can actually take em at effective levels.

(Honestly I just want *something* to make gargants worth taking.)
