Graveguard weapons?

yoo

ill be getting 10 graveguard soon, what weapon option do you recomend? the 2h or the sword and shield?

thanks!

2h weapons. The shields are easily negated.

As a general rule, if you're going to go sword and board, i'd usually prefer tomb guard, as i prefer their tomb shields to the grave guard's crypt shields, though I suppose it's dependent on your usual opponents.

For grave guard specifically, as with aquietfrog I prefer great weapons, though the shields are fine if you regularly play against opponents who value number of attacks over rend.

The sort of stuff you end up throwing Grave Guard at is probably going to have Rend, so the Shields are somewhat useless. GG are not a durability unit, you want them swinging first and swinging hard.

Ive found that they are extreme glass cannons and that little shield is very hit and miss.

Ive always had them with great weapons and just let them munch through the enemy by getting the first attacks.

Ive had a few cases where opponents have just assumed they would be tougher to kill as they did so much damage but in actual fact the are very squishy

Yeah 1 wound elite infantry is poor
