Or, I am just drawn to that playstyle. I love the management of troops, not resource! I almost always go for the hoard style list in any system, rather than the ISC.. In C. I played Drunes and Sessairs, not Griffons- I'm playing Behemoths now, and it is hard as I need to change so much of my thinking. I like to be able to make mistakes and keep going, or make tactical sacrifices and still be able to push through- you need models to do that consistently and reliably.

Well, to be fair, I find Behemoth probably the most difficult Confrontation force to play with. Orcs are already somewhat difficult and Behemoth way more so.

I slightly disagree in that many models are somewhat easy prey once they are out of AP. Especially those who rely mostly on dodging to save them. And since basically all models have just the three AP no matter their price, having just a couple of dudes ganging up on someone can lead to a messy end. High Pr notwithstanding.

Quote:I chose Bamaka based on the models, but I got Hord as a second because I liked the Lycals and the idea. More testing will determine what I stick with... I may still have some clowns in my future!

The cheap starters certainly are a dangerous thing
