    Default Druids AD?

    I was just wondering if there is any way to get an AD unit of druids?

    Cheers

    Can't remember the last time I played Druids without the UA, the AD is absolute gold IMO. AD means instead of running Turn 1, and potentially getting shot by the opponent next turn, they can instead advance and pop clouds.

    Also allows you to react to where your opponent deploys the heavies you want to reel in, which is useful too

    Druid UA is good but not auto-include good. Depending on their purpose the UA is the first thing I drop if I need to add something else. Before this derails they get AD by adding the UA.

    But don't you hate it when you get the UA and then forget to AD? Did that in a game vs Skorne, and that was my doh moment of the day.

    I'm not sure if this is a serious question...

    I actually do the opposite. I usually play with the UA so when don't I try to AD them and then realize I can't. The UA is incredible. He adds so much to the unit there's no reason to not include him. The Devouring is awesome, the Elemental Immunity is awesome. And though I'll never use it, he's a Beast Master.

    You say you're never use Beast Master but it definitely came up for me in a game last night where I didn't want to put Baldur into a bad place, but needed to double teleport Megalith to kill his caster. Its not a fantastic ability, but it sure can help in some situations so don't forget its there.

    Beast Master is gold with eBaldur, since he has to go last. Unit is usually up front screening so it gets the beasts a bit further out, and lets me run the Wyrd or a Watcher to hold a flank. The druids are very hard to take out (unlike the wilder) so you can count on it being around.

    I think that players sometimes forget that just because a model/unit is AD it doesn't have to use that extra 6". I usually do use it, but there are also times when I've found it better to use the AD to counter an opponent's deployment, or even a psychological tool...keep my Druids or Widowmakers prominently to the side so he always has to think about them. Obvious points really, but sometimes we overlook the obvious.

    I used to think this, until I lost an entire stealthed druid unit to one round of shooting from a gun mage unit. It turns out their UA has a special rule that says "this unit ignores any and all defenses of Circle Orboros druids and shoots them dead." It was sobering.

    I've seen that card, and yes, that is exactly what it says.

    It's heartbreaking finding out your opponent has a heavy anti-stealth build. Other than the Druid UA being awesome his model is one of my favorites in the line. Actually all of the Druids look awesome.
    So I can type anything I want right here?
