The Electors' Forum / How do I get some more punch out of my Knights!
« on: November 27, 2012, 11:57:40 PM »
Sorry if this thread already exists, but does anyone have any suggestions how I could make my knights more impactful?  I find that they just aren't that effective.  They usually get their butts kicked or are just generally ineffective.  I usually run them in a group of 12 w/no hero or Lord.  I've tried them w/a captain, but it really didn't help much.  I haven't tried them w/a Warrior Priest yet, because I don't have the model and I'm kind of stubborn in that the solution for every stinking unit I have seems to be to put a Warrior priest in it!  Does every unit in the army have to have a Warrior Priest???  Sorry, my army is quickly becoming a Warrior Priestpalooza.

Thanks!

Wizard w/ the Archers
Warrior Priest is w/ the Halberdiers
Captain BSB w/ the Greatswords - This might seem weird, but I fail leadership roles w/ my greatswords shockingly often.  W/ the captain there it practically makes them unbreakable. 

Strategy - Pretty simple, I soften the enemy up w/ artillery and magic and then move in for the kill w/ my knights, greatswords, and halerdiers.  If there is a crazy good unit, I bog them down w/ my greatswords. 

I tend to do pretty well w/ this army, but I am not much above 50%.  I typically play Tomb Kings, Dwarves, WoC, and Empire, with an occasional bout w/ Vampire Counts. 

Any advice on how I can make this a better army!?!?!?

The Electors' Forum / Which Wagon???
« on: September 25, 2012, 01:36:58 AM »
Not sure which wagon to get...  I only have enough money for one, so which one would you choose?  I am really leaning towards the Luminark of Hysh because I love the bolt and the extra dispell die.  The others look like they have some advantages as well though. What is the best all-around Wagon?

The Electors' Forum / Griffon Standard - Anybody Use it?
« on: May 31, 2012, 02:44:50 PM »
Just wondering if anybody has had any success with it in 8th Edition?  I know it is not an obvious choice anymore, but I have had some decent luck with it in 2500 point games.  I use it in a spear block 6X6 with 2 15 man Halberd detachments and it can be a difficult conundrum for opponents to face.  Just wondering if anybody is using it anymore and if they've had any success.
