Putting Arrow Gruts with a Beast such as Krug is interesting, but it doesn't make their stats any better. And again, using a Swog Rider isn't very useful if your opponent would kill the hero with a ranged attack. |

Re: The Book of Arrow Gruts
You're allowed to take as many Swog Riders as you like, and their bonus stacks. If you've got an Arrow Grut next to 2 Swog Riders on height, it has 4 attack and defense. Throw in Krug, and you can get 5 solid attacks in one order marker. As long as you can keep opponent's figures away from that pod setup, you're golden.

Re: The Book of Arrow Gruts
Don’t mix breakfast foods with dinner foods and the whole meal comes across better. The only potential exception is bacon, but even that isn’t a given. I’ve had food that tasted better without bacon than with.
The same can be said for Arrow/Blade Gruts. Don’t take both squads in the same build, it dilutes it. If you want a common option to back up the Arrow Gruts, toss in more Arrow Gruts and Swog Riders. Heck, take 6 Swogs and end up with an Arrow Grut with 7 Attack and 7 Defense. Learn what the common trait on army cards means. What it really means you can do, then come back to discuss unit power. PS: Arrow Gruts are the only ranged squad with a bonding power on their card in the game. That counts for something. My customs.

Re: The Book of Arrow Gruts
Agreed with the above. Played by an experienced player, and played right Arrow Grut armies (built right) can devastate opponents. Throw in at least 3-4 Swogs with 2-3 squads of Arrow Gruts and you can stack the Swog bonuses really well if/when you grab height. Add in Mimring for long ranged attacks to draw in your opponent, and then Krug to smack em when they do come in and you've got a devastating combo. I've been beaten by Arrow Gruts many a time in tournaments because of how strong they can be in the right hands.
Also agreed with the above comment by Flameslayer...you don't play Arrow Gruts with any of the other blade or heavy gruts in the same army. I mean, you can of course, but they are strongest on their own with no other squad types in there. Maybe you should play one of us in an online game and we can show you what we mean Sir Heroscape's Content

Well of course, that leads to a conversation of what army build to make, considering how many points you're given. But in regards to learning what the common trait means, then I have to tell you I do not own 6 swogs, or even 6 squads of Orc archers, and therefore cannot make the "awesome" army that you are proposing. Even if I did have an abundant amount of Orc Archers and Swogs, I don't think that making them into some kind of horde and clogging up the board makes them any better. Why not spend the points on ranged squads with better stats, even if they may lack bonding opportunities? |

Re: The Book of Arrow Gruts
2 or 3 of each (AGs and Swogs) is quite sufficient. 3 of each is less than 200 points, and gives lots of room to add beefy bonding heroes like Krug and Mimring in a standard army.

Didn't realize that Mimring bonded; still rather unfortunate that I've only got Krug and Mimring so the options aren't really abundant |

Re: The Book of Arrow Gruts
Guy's got the right to an opinion just like everyone else. I personally don't like Arrow Gruts either, I'd never use them in a 500 competitive match in a million years. Mimring and Swog are too easy to kill, only Krug is capable of taking punishment really, since I don't use customs as a general rule.
