Idk how much I like 4 battleboar/gorax. I tend to just grab one of each and 2 gun boars. I can soften things up, clear charge lanes, and remove things much further away without committing a beast. But that was before I had access to dahalia...so 3 sp10s may be the ticket. Also why no lanyssa in the Arkadius list? 4 sprays, with Targ and Dr. Needle Butt.

But she really helps when you have to send in a battle boar, or when you want the extra boost on the roadhog spray. But I get it. Yep, luxury item. Other solos are probably more useful first.

Point blank is 0.5" melee isn't it? It would be nice with our damage abilities though. That would get a bit annoying with their weapon having 2" melee. I'd actually be willing to trade crit kd and their melee to 1" for increased damage. I wonder if we could discuss Helga. She's a Valkyrie...

It is a real shame,that valkyries do almost nothing for Helga, since they don't serve as a defenders ward target and she usually isn't terribly worried about assassination. Veteran leader on 3 models for 8 points is pretty uninspiring too.

Veteran leader on 3 models for 8 points is pretty uninspiring too. Helga desperately wants to play as a frontline tank caster; when she can do that she's quite good. This is kinda limited to low point games though. Now she has access to oodles (up to 11?) shield guards I want to try this again. If she ever gets a reasonably priced source of steady that can keep up with her (animus?) she'll be a happy sow. Also since they're Helga's shieldmaidens and ought to be practiced at the Grand Finale I kinda want to see them pick up the Hard rule so it's impossible for them to kill/knock each other over on feat turn.

I just tried Valkyries as well, but I got Wyrnwoid while my only spell defense was Drang's feat, so I only managed to win because I huddled up in the corner, camped a zone with Valks and Drang, and killed Cassius with a throw. Win on scenario just barely 8-3.

Going into the game I expected the Stormfalls to one shot kill them basically.

That's what I'm afraid of. I don't want them to just be cheapish sheild guards, especially if I'm getting free Bokurs now.
