    Default 25 points tier 3 Dr. Arkadius

    This is my first attempt at breaking into hordes. I like warmachine more, because im more into the steampunkiness, but the good Doc has gotten me hooked. I really like his background, his spells, and just his arrogant pompous attitude. That, probably the coolest weapon in the game. So, here is my first attempt at doc with 25 points, (I hit tier 3 with out realizing it or trying for it)

    Dr. Arkadius
    -warhog
    -warhog
    -gunboar
    -gunboar
    min bone grinders
    min brigands


    The war hog seems almost obscene with arkadius, who can get its P+S up to 20 on two melee weapons. I wanted to fit in a third war hog, but I would have had to drop the bone grinders, and it sounds like they are pretty important to the doc's plans.

    This is assuming charging, and against a knocked down target with armor 20 (average d6 roll is a 3.5)
    Freebooter: 14+14=28 14+10.5=25 for a total damage of 13
    Nomad : 17+10.5=28 14+7=21 for a total damage of 9

    I have been playin the good Dr and the only things the Grinders seem to be good for is the occasional pot shot late game or to block charge lanes. Outside of that the only reason I really take them is to get to tier 4. I think the best way to play Dr A at low points is Tier 1. For the same points as a min unit of Bone Grinders, I think I would rather have Targ.

    Completely agree with MikeC.
    Targ is the bomb at lower levels.
    It will mean you can have a gunboar go for a run on a flank and not leave control range.
    Plus he can make a gunboar shoot again.
