Many thanks, Gir.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344540/2408758.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344540/2408758.page GMT
Sword & Board:
- Provides a little more survivability with the 6+ parry

Spears:
- No change in armor save and allow an extra rank of weak attacks. Combine this with Helm of Commandment, Flaming banner, & a little VDM and your skeletons have a little more offensive capability.

It really comes down to preference and what your trying to do. If you plan on making them sacrificial lambs then go sword and board to make them slightly more survivable and cheaper. I tend to use mine in a little more offensive role so I prefer spears.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344540/2408827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344540/2408827.page GMT You need boosts to make those spears worth it, and if you can only boost 1 unit, that unit should be big to maximize your effect.

Generally though, I like skeletons as bunkers for necromancer and standards, and use ghouls for offense.

Although I do love the look of skeletons with HW's, may need to buy acouple more boxes ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344540/2408872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344540/2408872.page GMT
