Hi! Just wondering which units you guys think I should prioritize buying?
I have
X1 max fennblades with ua
X1 max Champions with skaldi
X1 Krielstone bearers with ua
X1 Northkin fire eaters
X1 Northkin bears and handler
Next up I’m thinking of buying
Trollkin warders, long riders, or highwaymen. Which do you guys suggest?

Of those three selections go for the long riders, you will get more milage out of them than Warders and highwaymen. However if you buy for the painting aspect go for one of the others as those models are more "updated"

Warders or Longriders is the right choice. Highwaymen should never really see the table until they get some kind of fix.
The case for each is:
Warders: Cheaper than longriders in points and to buy, work well in Band of Heroes, nicer looking models
Longriders: works well in 2 themes,

Quite often see double bears , fire eaters or champions so could also get yourself another unit of either tbh

Double up the Fire Eaters, Bears. Then I would consider a unit of kriel warriors. They are probably the best screening unit in faction.

I get a lot of mileage out of even a min. unit of Warders in my Band of Heroes list, so I really recommend them. Otherwise, I think you should look at doubling up on bears, fire eaters or champs, especially if you plan on running SOTN.

I've never got around to even purifying them, though. In general I like Fenns way better as they are faster and have reach, so they can tie things up more thoroughly. One of my fonder memories is enclosing a Lilith with four Fenns at max reach. She was one sad corrupted elf. |

It all depends on what theme you are planning on playing. Owning fennblades implies that you wanba play BoH. Owning bears implies that you wanna play SotN. Pick a theme and buy thr things you like fron that to begib with.
In that respect Longriders are a good idea since they work in two themes, but if SotN is your poison then double bears probably takes priority anyway.
