so there you have. please let me know how fast cavelry will benefit over giving them barding...

Vanguard move, to get into position a turn earlier than usual
Being able to reform as many times as you like during the move, making you much more manouverable
Feigned flight, to be able to flee and rally then move

Lots, basicaly. Also, this should be in tactics

sorry... just one more question... would you recomend barding over fast cav on them?

Absolutly not.

You gain +1 armor save and lose a whole bunch of special rules that make them really fast and maneuvrable.

If they start taking hits, 4+ vs 5+ armor won't save them. Their special rules add tons of strategic options. It also lets them get into position to use their repeaters quicker, they need to be stationary to shoot.

Yea generally if a unit is Fast Cav, you want them to stay Fast Cav unless they're somewhat built for melee and you're in need for some flankers (like Marauders and Goblins)

Ok Brilliant guys, in the list im running two units of 5 with a sharpshooter with a grenade launcher... sound good?

Take a musician, you get the +1 to reform after a feigned flight.

didnt relise that... ill do that
