The Book of M-43 Resistance Fighters

And if you can afford the extra markers, the Mind Flayer Mastermind and Dund are great on Order Marker 1 if you need to pin down range for these guys. This strategy worked fantastically with M-43/Warriors of Ashra against Zettian Infantry/DW9K/Warden 816, as the Zettian Infantry had to constantly reposition to put the threat down.

I've never tried what you're saying, but it seems like it would work. Now I want to try:

30 Kira Jax
180 Q10
375 M-43 x3
495 Deathreavers x3

EDIT: Although, generally speaking, I would still want more than 2 squads of M-43, even with a good screen.

When this guys were first released I have to admit they were my least favorite figure in the entire wave, they seemed bland to me for some reason. After playing with this guys a couple times I have completely changed my mind, they are a blast to play, great design.

I think they need to be used with a heavy hitter a be affective. I played them against a warforged army and they got slaughtered, there 2 sometimes 3 attack could not cut it in the long run.

M-43 Resistance Fighters x3
Rats x3
Nilfheim

You have a screen, glyph grabbers, special attack and a heavy hitter all to go with the Resistance Fighters.

Yes. I played a 3v3 game with them last night. My army was:

260 M-43 x4
290 Kira Jax
400 Rhogar Dragonspine
505 Van Nessing
605 Syvaris

I used the M-43 almost exclusively, and they were butchered--they never had the punch I needed them to. I should have brought Syvaris and my other heroes sooner--Syvaris never saw an OM and Rhogar only got one. They can be tricky to use effectively sometimes.

If I move 3 M-43 Resistance Fighters 5 spaces each, then attack with two of them, can I move the third one with Guerilla Tactics? Just making sure.

According to the wording on the card, yes.

Thanks. For some reason I have yet to play them that way.

Understandable; it's usually to a player's advantage to attack with all three squaddies, but in situations where that's not possible (i.e: not all figures are in range of a target) Guerrilla Tactics can help the remaining M-43 double-time it to where they need to be.

Why isn't hero capitalized on the M-43's card? It should be...

It's been done interchangeably on cards; so it's okay.

OK, I only noticed because we are talking about capitalizations for HoSS; and what should or shouldn't.

I just happened to see this and I was like, "oh, wait till C3V hears this," but your explanation is true...as that is what we are finding out, too. Official= Inconsistent.

Usually, it's best to capitalize it, IMO, but it's okay since it stands alone.

Actually the C3V Editors are working on a list of things like this so our cards will stay consistant. I applaud them for their efforts.
