Multiples of this unit......sick! Yeah this guy is nasty, 2 would be brutal especially if combined with noble princes rerolls. do you think that the one off 3d6 is better than the waywatchers multiple turns of shooting?

Dracothjay Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 im guessing multiple shooting you mean doubling his shots using fast shot? I would say yea, that's better for consistency and reliability. Waywatcher would be better for sure, but that possibility of 18 shot is appealing. Meh, waywatcher wins when I really think about it hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah he can fire more shots over the whole game. But a 3d6 barrage could be devestating for alpha striking. i have started assembling some gladeguard. They look so cool on round bases, adds to their skirmish feel. just need to buy some characters and eternal guard. I already have sisters of the thorn box, might also get some sisters of the watch. When expanding, will pick up wildwood rangers. They are awesome and will help with killing big things- especially as wanderers have no monsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I know, wildwood rangers look so awesome and can't monsters they are lethal! I just wish they had a larger variety in terms of models, especially something that packed some punch, like a new great stag cavalry unit that hits like bricks or something you know!?

Meh, waywatcher wins when I really think about it hahaha. Are there ways to reroll the 3D6 in some way to increase the chance of it being good? (I mean if you get 10 archers for nearly the same amount of point you already equal the average shots on 3d6.. and then you can shoot those every turn, and get -3 rend for your alpha strike). Or significantly increase to hit, wound or rend for the alpha strike turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that good if you only roll a couple of hits, but if you roll a lot..... but 10 archers are more reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Yeah, 10 archers are far more reliable. With the 3D6 shot its once per game so it's inconsistent as opposed to other wanderers shooting capabilities. I get the feeling that you'd want to use the 3d6 shot from multiple sources in conjunction with your bodkin burst and for the re-roll's the prince gives its best to go with volume in terms of attacks rather than a better to hit/wound statistic. Glade guard do the heavy lifting, all other sources of shooting would just be a support role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.. heavy lifting is done by the Sisters of the Watch I'd say.. and even compendium waywatchers have a higher damage out put. Anyway.. I like the waywatcher and his command ability much better than the wayfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Yeah, invisible is better than a bravery buff. Chances are that bravery won't even matter if the enemy are into your rear lines. Usually that's game over if they advanced that far into you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hard to fit them in at 1000 points along with the noble prince and i want eternal guard too. Hard to fit all the toys in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Are sisters of the watch that good? Are they great because they can possibly fire 3 times in one phase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cool. 3 to hit and wound, 2 to wound if target is chaos. Plus firing if charged. So pricey, cost same as 20 glade gurd. But higher armour. I plan on getting a box. But plying 1000 point games means i will struggle to fit both them and sisters of the thorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aezeal Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 2 shots at 3+ 3+ IS good. They are good objective campers. Range suboptimal ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barimbino Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Well yeah, I was just saying if they are going to camp on an important objective they would be a tough nut to crack with the spell on top of all their otherdefensive abilities.

But it's not a bad idea to have one for back-up in case one dies. The spell isn't that strong when healing single wound models, but the other one can cast mystic shield which is always good (and needed for the combo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
