I love the Long Riders models and used them quite a bit in Mark 2. Mark 3 though I can never get them to do anything. With only the 1" reach they never manage to out threat anything. But they are also fast enough to almost never get to be in the stone. Because of these two problems they either end up tied up with something that costs significantly less points than them waisting their time or simply dead before they even scratch anything.
I can't help feeling like I am either playing them wrong or maybe they could use a little buff like 2" reach back or maybe an armor or two. Just for info I play them mostly with Madrak 2 or Borka 1.

I am having the same problems that you are and I managed to have success with them in Mk2. Losing the 2" reach and damage buffs really hit them hard. Hopefully CID will let them see some improvement.

I played them for a while in Madrak2 and wasn't wowed. They're too slow to justify their extra tankiness and slam utility. The things they're supposed to fight (melee heavies, other cav and hard targets) pretty much universally out-threat them and they don't hit hard enough to justify not hitting first. Giving them back 2" melee would go a long way to putting them back on the table.

Played them a couple times. Not impressed. Grissel 1 is the only caster I could see myself playing them with currently.

I am glad that response wasn't that I am just bad makes me feel a little better. Hopefully Northkin Theme CID gives them the nudge the need since they will probably be in it.

I think there's a theoretical double cav BoH list for Borka1 but I am unwilling to shell out for the second unit on the off chance they're good enough.
