What do you think would be best in my rares slot.
1. 3 Hydras
2. 2 Hydras
3. 2 Hydras + 1 Bolt
4. 1 Hydra + 2 Bolts
5. 2 Hydras + 2 Bolts

**Kirbinator**

Why not two hydras, two bolt throwers? Since we can take two throwers in one rare slot and they work best in pairs, seems like that would be the preferable way to run them.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

2 Hydras and 2 bolt throwers, or go bananas and have 6 bolt throwers.

There should be alot of monsters out there and 6 bolt throwers will bring a world of pain to them.

3 Hydras will be nigh on unstoppable (especially if they are all run down one flank) but the rest of your army will need cover.

**jtw1n**

I wasn't aware you could take 2 per slot. Chat does change things.

**nosferatu1001**

Six bolt throwers will cause a lot of hurt, however 2 can deal with a dragon with 2 hydras giving you more kill-y annoying death on one flank.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

I run 4 spear chukkas in my NG army and despite their crappy BS (one less than a DE or HE) the thought of having to fly into their LOS means that the enemies dragons/monsters invariably hide until they have dealt with 2-3 of them, which is usually turn 5 or 6, and by then it is too late.

**Strimen**

I am gonna say you want at least two bolt throwers. Their will be a lot of monsters on the table. Heck my list has four Ancient Steggedons with engines and a Slann in it. Bolt throwers will help take down a steggy possibly on your first turn of shooting if you get lucky.

**Kirbinator**

Given the propensity for people to go nuts with monsters in such large lists, bringing 6 bolt throwers would be a nice laugh as they all go down in the first couple or turns or avoid the central area completely.
