The Book of Knights of Blackgaard

The Gladiators also have no way of using range and still get 4/4 stats.

I'm not sure if I'm missing a C3V custom that has a Glad with range, but with these Knights you can use the Incindeborgs* and still get 4/4 stats. Am I missing something? I'm here for learning! I already made a bonehead mistake already today.

I suggest exploring the Public Information thread, and then Googling.

I'm just comparing the two units. As it was previously brought up. The Gladiators, as you know, have no range option while they have all order markers on them. These guys on the other hand can maintain their 4/4 stats and still have an order marker on a range option.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you are implying.

He's referring to the Achillean Gladiatrix, which has been announced as an upcoming C3V figure and is currently in public playtesting. Although it hasn't been released, many people from the name and the figure (a gladiator-type person with a spear) are guessing that it will be a ranged bonding option for the gladiators.

Back on topic, these guys are one of the ones where I think the C3V nailed it. They have great theme, while being simple enough to play. I actually really like that they don't have bonding. On one hand, that would have driven up the price a ton, but more than that I just enjoy figures with looser synergy than bonding. They may not be the best army to chuck Sir Hawthorne into, but he works great with the KoW anyway, and there are other relentless figures that I think would work great with these guys (wouldn't know--haven't tried yet).

I do think it would have been neat if they could have added +1 to Stab in the Back rolls, so they work with him that way.

I've played these guys in a tournament. They preformed solid. Great for senerios. I recommend them.

Considering Sir Hawthorne used to be part of the Knights of Weston its probably true!

I'm curious if the KoB were playtested against the Gladiators. I could easily see:

KoB x 4 500/16

vs

Spartacus 200
Crixus 90
Cap Glads x 3 210
500/11

It seems like a fair fight. Anyone?
