Just picked one up but not played in ages.
Is there any clear cut "best" option for them?
Love the way they all look but not too up to date on the game.
So hoping someone can help me decide.
Thanks.

Most people think the warpseer is the best.

I like the Eshin one the most.

Yep, the Warpseer is generally regarded as the best option due to the 4++ and always casting Warp Lightning at max with re-rolls to cast.

However, I'm with thedarkavenger on preference to the Deceiver. I see some nice utility in what amounts to a teleporting artillery piece mounted on a monster.

Plus skitterleap out of LoS and force multiple withers on someone.

I have done this and must say people find very annoying haha, reason i like the eshin so far the most

after that id have to say the warpseer at second and the plaque one at third

I opted for the eshin one in the end.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Is a tad naff he is only BS4 though.
However, 1 shot for each model in the front rank is good enough.

Might be a silly question, but as I have not played in some time.
How do you determine front rank for things like skirmishers or a war machine?
Visually these don't have a front rank.

Thanks again though.

Skirmishers should have a visible first rank being that they're just a spread out version of the standard block.

And war machines are a single model.

Also remember, just because you can shoot doesn't always make it the best option.
If shootings a war machine is an option just charge it. Shooting would have to wound against the toughness of the machine.
And skirmishers are typically so few you should charge as well. Between 5 attacks and thunderstomp it will be a rare occasion you are on the losing end.
