I've pre-ordered the new Retribution starter box, and even though I don't have it yet I'm already thinking about how to start expanding it!

I've read a lot of recommendations for the Dawnguard Sentinels as the best choice to expand the old starter box. Under the new rule and new stats, is this still a good choice? If I want to do my first step up from the starter box force to 15 pts (Journeyman style), that would give me 4 points after buying the Sentinels. Looking through the cards, I could get the Sentinel Officer & Standard Bearer unit attachment, or I could chose one of the 4 pt solos, like Dawnguard Sentinel Scyri, Ekara, Tyro of the Third Chamber or the Mage Hunter Assassin. Any suggestions on the best choice for those 4 points?

Thanks!

Definitely go with the UA, pathfinder on the charge and iron zeal are simply amazing, I don't know why they buffed one of Ret's better units, but I'll take what I can get.

I haven't gotten a chance to look at any of the new stuff yet, but did any of the Houseguard units get some love? I just got a box of Houseguard Riflemen plus a Thane, and I really want to use them once the new rules drop
