I love 8th Edition, me!

I've always discounted the bows if I'm honest. Unit of three for 150points at bs2. 1 hit at S6 on average doing 1 wound for your 150 is pretty rough. 15 of them though would give 4 wounds per turn on anything other than the heaviest knights though...

It does change their role up. In combat, they're probably the hardest archers in the game. And with 15 out 18 shooting (not firing. You can't fire a bow!), a decent threat to even the biggest monster.

I'd also recommend at least giving it a bash!

I field my ogres in 3x3 squares, though I might try a horde at some point. I'd like to see a plastic ushabti box, I want an all shooting tomb kings army with loads of bow armed ushabti.

I have heard similar things about Lizardmen kroxigors. I kind of want to buy a trio of those and experiment with fielding them as an independent hammer unit or hidden in a block of skinks.

As my army is Rasetra themed, I've got my ushabti in the middle of a skink block, only had one game with them but they did ok

[Mr Mystery]

I say give them a bash too.

For a long time Monstrous Infantry kind of struggled. Static res pretty much humped them, as they were just too expensive to field with ranks, especially when you consider how many models would just be left standing around doing nowt for the entire game.

Between 3 wide ranks, the horde option and of course stomp, they've really come into their own!

Right, I'm off to finish watching Saw 3, and then having a damned good read of me Tomb Kings book, ready for the second 'Getting to Grips' guide. Altogether, sing it with me now! Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones!

Since this hit the frontpage, there seems to be much variance in opinion, particularly based on player location. Hopefully the exposure will rejuvenate the boards!

[Mr Mystery]

All exposure is good exposure!

[Metacarpi]

That's not what the judge at my recent court case reckons.

[Mr Mystery]

I'm pretty sure that more about the squirrel than the exposure, to be fair.
