Their range seems horrible at 18" and you have to take 20. Do you run them with 20 in two ranks and slowly edge them up, and if you are lucky you get 1-2 turns of shooting (probably just the front rank) before they are charged? It seem really inefficient unless you are trying to use it to caddy more fanatics.

Use them to keep your flanks clear. even if they only have one fanatic in them your oponent will be a bit hesitant to charge them seeing as he doesent want that pesky fan to come out.

Also use them as a screen to keep your other ng units from getting charged by those high elf knights that can rumble through cover. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/580108.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/580108.page GMT How to use NG with Bows
25 models, muso, 2 fanatics... 129 points.
I ran 2 units.

I always started in a 5x5 formation and stuck one on each flank of my main line.

They would redeploy (change formation) as needed to get more shooting, but ANY kill is a bonus.

They are really good vs large targets in that you get to shoot at them and may do 1 or 2 wounds in a game)

But primarily they are just fanatic deliver system.

IIRC in 5 games the 2 units (not including fanatics) by shooting:
1 plaguebearer with regen, and a plaguerider 1 wound.
Killed 3-4 skinks and 2 wounds on kroxigor.
1 wound on gyrocopter and 2 ironbreakers
3 shades
1 empire knight

Never got their points back but its the flexibility of having a range of options rather than just sit there, release fanatics and wait to get charged.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/580301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/580301.page GMT How to use NG with Bows
I also don't know how many fanatics is right amount I should be taking. At 1000 points I have only been taking about 4. I have 9, so I guess I could use them all, but that is about 1/4 of my army.

I aim for no more than an average of 2 per NG unit (my current list has 3 in 1 HW/Sh unit, 1 in each of my 2 spears units) and 2 in each of my flanking SB units (for 9)

At a thousand points 4 seems fine... but you have to put it in the context of acctually having something else decent in the army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/580830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/580830.page GMT Re:How to use NG with Bows HW/Sh, 2 fanatics. Along with my level 2 Shaman. I love the stone trolls when they are not stupid, but even when babysat with a ng hero it is still about a 50/50 chance of being stupid.

I need to go pickup another box of NG to get more netters and to flesh out my HW/Sh. I also want to pickup another Skull Pass boxset so I can add another 30 block of spears, and be able to field 2x20 bowmen with just a muso.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/581205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/581205.page GMT Re:How to use NG with Bows

All legitimate uses, but still a decidedly lacking unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/584879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231065/584879.page GMT
