So, got things for XMas, so able to look at a decent (IMO) 200 points of Daqan:
Hawthorne with a Reaping Blade and Might of Daqan
3x2 Oathsworn Cav with master-crafted weapons, Moment of Inspiration and Raven Tabard
3x2 Spearmen with master-crafted weapons, metered march, Citadel Weapons Master and Raven Tabard
2 units of 2x1 Heavy Crossbows with Close-Quarters Targeting.
I could dump the Metered March for replacing the CQTs with Rank Discipline for both XBow units. Think that'd work better?
