Do you have any clan rats with spears? Larger attack output from better range.

Yeah, but my thinking was they would be more for seizing objectives than actually fighting. That and the spears only hit on a 5+ so I’d likely get less hits in overall.

Ten attacks at 4+ means 5 hits. 20 attacks at 5+ means 7 hits. Just as an example. From insight, people are suggesting using them to screen. They’re gonna get charged. Do you want the most hits possible when that happens, or only worried about objective holding?

Both I guess

Counterpoint; do you really think they will spend most of the game with 20 models left? And as a screen they will likely be spread out more than 10-wide.

@Deathkorp; give the warlock-bombardiers More-more-more Warp Power; it is a great buff, especially when you know the enemy will probably kill the unit in question on their turn anyways. If the warlock wants a spell to deal damage they already have warp-lightning on their warscroll that can be spammed.

I guess that is true.
