Hawthorne is a must. He's awesome, while Kari is meh.

Maro is a completely different play mentality over Ardus. Personally i wouldnt even bother with him unless you got a bunch of extra trays to spawn in.

Hawthorne unfortunately don't put out the most damage consistently compared to Kari though.

No but he enables the rest of the army to do a ton of work.
Plus, the Thorns build pretty much lets him do whatever he wants. Kari is pretty easy to remove, he isnt.

@OP: Don't be afraid to stop, either. Nust because there is more to buy, doesn't mean you have to go out and get it right away.

Also, if you're new to miniatures games you may want to budget some money for paints and stuff.

Don't listen to Budger buy 2 of everything If you already have command you can play a little like that. I like the heroes for the flexibility they provide. They open a lot more options.

Kari is meh? Good lord, for the way the game has slid (heavy on figure upgrades) she is far superior to Hawthorne. Not to mention her ability actually comes into play (and kills the unit beside they one you are using as a pillow).

It is very rare my Kari gets removed. Hawthorne is much easier to remove as he must close to do work.

Hawthorne has the best setup ability right now, but I agree, Kari is a menace on the table. I'm definitely leaning towards her in my lists now (or both really haha, 4x1 Derpwood Archers anyone?)

Kari with Fortuna's Dice shooting at initiative 2 is a straight up assassin.

I find 4x1 to be the most overrated idea on the table right now, given that if your opponent has ranged support you are a 3x1 at most when you close. 3x2 cav is nice though.

Hmmm interesting. I suppose 4x1 could be overrated, but I don't think that means it's bad. The amount of ground you can cover on turns and wheels is impressive. Definitely want a reroll included though, rather have a reroll with 3 threat than 4 threat without one

Agree completely, I mean people get stuck on it hard, when there are better options than simple mix/maxing

The 4x1 deepwood archers with tempered steel is mean honestly.

Hmmm... I didn't realize how much I didn't want to face that until just now.

3 hits against Ardus? Oops Ardus is dead now.
