JamesBeadle Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've built my standard bearer (with a club) and musician (with a sword). Do I model the other 4 with two or one handed weapons? Checking the web appears that the Iron Fists are far more favored. In play are they more effective 3x2 or 6x1?

JamesBeadle Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 The models, btw, are beautiful. Six are going to look fantastic. They'd make lovely mercenaries for an Empire army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Iron Fists are heavily favored due to the increased armor save. I'd say two 3x1 blocks so you don't lose any mount attacks in a 3x2 and you're not excessively wide/unwieldy in 6x1. And post some pics! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Ironfists since they can parry when mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdave Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 The two above posts have it spot on: the increased armor save and mounted parry make the IF more valuable than a few extra attacks. And two units of three will prove more effective and versatile than a single unit of six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBeadle Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I can only add a banner to one though. Not that I doubt you, but I have modelled them with a banner and a musician, and four with fists and single weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lustriangod2 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Ironists rock. You are already strong so getting that perry save in combat makes it worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
