Remember, spears are +1 strength when mounted, so a 5 man units still gets 5 str4 attacks with re-rolls to hit at I5 plus 5 horse attacks. Not great but good enough to take down a warmachine.<br /><br />If there isn't a tempting target, I'll park them within short range of an enemy and pepper them with crossbow shots until they turn to face me, which sets them up to get flank charged by something beefier. <br /><br />They only really suck against opponents with lots of small arms shooting. But even them to shoot the DR, they have to turn, and if they turn, they can get hit in the side by a hydra.Nikephoroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484058926496438148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-21096932976563812032011-01-27T13:40:08.269-05:002011-01-27T13:40:08.269-05:00Great guide !Great guide !Adam Presselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381429914893061964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065491601593693979.post-36354107733568635222011-01-27T13:34:13.348-05:002011-01-27T13:34:13.348-05:00Hm, cool :) You kind of outlined this method on m...Hm, cool :) You kind of outlined this method on my blog a little bit ago, but it's cool to see the graphics of how it would actually work.<br /><br />I'm still a little wishy-washy about Dark Riders, personally. They just die so easily, and hit so... unhard. lol. <br /><br />Maybe someday you can write a tactica of how to use them well, especially in a tournament setting where you'll be playing lots of different enemies. I'd be interested :-pXaerethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128303819082218339noreply@blogger.com
