Which squads do you think are the most fun?

Hi all,

I'm curious, which squads do you think are the most fun to play? Not the best — simply the most enjoyable?

For me it would be the Zombies, for the sheer cackling glee of seeing new Zombies rise!

The Venoc Vipers for the frenzying and Omnicron Snipers for the doubled skulls and height advantage (and taking out a Fen Hydra on one roll).

I really enjoy games when I have the Phantom Knights. The freedom to fly around and pick the most advantageous engagements; the maneuverability to beat most units to the punch; the defense to have a decent chance to weather attacks while your order markers are elsewhere. I mostly just have 2 squads of commons figures, and for many builds I don't feel like it's enough, but splashing 2 squads of PKs usually feels like I'm gonna get a return on my investment. They can perform multiple roles if your squad has something it's missing. They can be Glyph getters, an assassination squad, height deniers, a screen. Anyway, I usually feel like, and do, have a fighting chance (as long as I have something to deal with Braxas). I don't always win when I have them, but I always have fun.

Zombies are my all time favorite. I just like watching my opponent’s face when my measly 2 attack not only kills one of their figures, but puts another one of mine on the board. I also find it fun to fight off a swarm of incoming zombies. Oh, and you can only shoot them in the head. Very thematic and fun.
I like the rechets of bogdan as well. The threat range they have on the turn they’re summoned is very satisfying. And lethal sting hardly ever happens, but the anticipation it brings is very fun to me. It’s like rolling defense as a deathwalker but in a fun kind of way.

The Marro Drudge on a swamp map just bring a smile to my face.

for pure fun, I love to send a wave of Red Ants across to board. Also, if the numbers are right, I love running Granite Guardians and watching the slow roll of rock death. Agree that I don't often win with these (the reason they are not played much), but it is fun to play!

Wolves of Badru - I pounce almost every time I can (once took out a full-life Agent Skahen with a pounce). *

Goblin cutters - these little guys are fun.

axegrinders - love me some dwarves.

Couldn't agree more!

Favorites are Zombies, Greeks, Shades, Monks, Microcorp, Dividers, Armoc Vipers, Protectors, Dwarfs, Aubriens, Einar Imperium, Samurai squads, and the Mohicans.

Stingers! Don't be a coward, Drain every time, regardless of tactical advantage.

[Blue Trails]

The Zombies of Morindan. They're my favorite unit in the game due to the way their mechanics blend with their theme. Watching my horde shamble across the board while replacing a few casualties is just grand.

Besides them, the Badru, Venocs, and Anubians are also enjoyable, while the Shades' mobile and swingy nature can lead to some fun games.

I have always really enjoyed the Roman's, just so many bonding options.

Not necessarily my all-time favorites, but I like:

Very beefy/expensive squads like Minions and Sentinels because they require you to play with/against them differently. They're essentially mini-heroes.

Units with novel movement powers like Granite Guardians and Warforged Soldiers because they play differently and spice up the game.

Basically, I like the ones that require the players to think differently, both from a game-strategy perspective and a tactical positioning perspective.
