tho most opponents who have Vs. them before will hit them with all magical attacks in the first turn.

but on the up side if you take 2 units there'll be at least 1 unit left at the end of turn one

i've personally used a unit of 5 to kill 12 rat ogres and a unit of 6 juzzies (rat riflers). i finished the game with 1 hexwraith left, but he was being targeted by 2 warp lightning cannons. he survived ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515367/5412951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515367/5412951.page GMT Hexwraights, how long do they last, how many do you use.
Riding through units is good, but with only 5, you don't really have a combat options. Static combat res is too risky with so few attacks of your own.

This dex has so many options its hard to nail something down perminant....

Anybody else have any thoughts...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515367/5413272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515367/5413272.page GMT Hexwraights, how long do they last, how many do you use.
They are a harassment unit, their strength comes from running through units, not charging them. They are too expensive to use as a combat block when a fluffed roll will not beat combat rez and crumble half your unit, or a single magic missile ending 310 points instead of 150.

A unit of 10 is nice, but it is also too big an investment, you really have to look at your investment/effectiveness ratio. 7 is something I haven't tried and might be good, it would stop a 1d6 magic missile from wiping out the unit. 10 strong is overkill against most monsters and your opponent is going to do direct everything they can against the unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515367/5413569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/515367/5413569.page GMT Hexwraights, how long do they last, how many do you use.

When I run a unit of 10 hexwraiths, I'm also running a block of 10 black knights (with at least 2 vampires in it), a terrorgheist, and either a 2nd terrorgheist or a small unit of bloodknights.

I usually find that it's the hex wraiths that get ignored in favor of the other threats.
