Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

I played them with a lot of stuff. Running just Sneakbeaks x10 at 300 points was a guilty pleasure.

Obviously wrapping them in Bacon really helps them stand up when charging at ranged units (7 defense is reeeal nice when having to fight through hordes of rats), and helps mitigate their fragility once they're engaged.

In general they were very versatile, and paired well with lots of stuff. Long range is nice, because it helps draw your opponent in near enough for them to be able to attack to activate Flocking, but not mandatory, since Evasive usually helps them close in anyways. They're inexpensive enough that you can buy a lot of them and still have room for some heavy hitters, or you can take just drops 2-3 squads into your army and use them to harry your opponent.

I'm looking forward to someday having a Raptorian hero to help maximize Flocking.
