Boba vs Bikes?

By Hawkstrike, in Army Building

So would you prefer ...

(a) 2 x Bikes + 2 x Sniper Teams, or

(b) 1 x Bike + 1 x Sniper Team + Boba?

What about Boba and 2xBikes? You'd have to compromise elsewhere, but that's crazy mobility.

0 bikes 3 sniper team w/ boba

Little sniper teams or big ones?

Little ones, full scout teams with sniper cost almost the same as a bike

Completely depends on terrain and objectives.

Snipers aren't as useful without height and line if sight. This can be difficult on some tables.

But they can claim objectives and bikes cannot.

Ran Boba this past weekend in a tourney. Went 3-0. Boba was the MVP, he is an absolute beast, well worth the points. I put emergency stems and hunter on him. Both worth the upgrade costs on him.

Bikes can score 2 out of 5 objectives.

Follow-up: Went with option (b) and was undefeated at a Max Firepower Qualifier. Though I subsequently tried (a) and was undefeated in a smaller tournament but with much larger margins of victory.

Do you mind sharing the rest of your list?
