I was just wondering if it was a viable tactic. Discuss slaves w/slings here. |

I've considered it. Then I looked at the points cost. Then I saw that slaves have a BS of 2. That means that they'll hit on 5's if they are at short range and didn't move and don't double shoot. It no longer sounds like a good idea. |

i voted yes but only because i want everyone to convince GW that slings are overpriced for slaves by 1 point. that BS2 makes any missile weapon pointless. they had to give skeletons in TK armies a special rule (no penalties for anything: range, moving, cover, etc) so their BS2 archers would actually be used. |

but think, if they where 1 point for the slings. it wouldn't matter how bad they where, you'd have so many... oh, crap. I just realized something. Slaves arn't scrimishers. they can't all fire their slings. Im an idiot.

True, but at 1 point per sling, you wouldn't care. You'd set up a 10x2 fronatge to screen your important stuff anyways, and then fave them fire away until the enemy closed (or the slaves flee). Or, at least I would.

Slaves with slings take up too much table space and do to little damage to be even considered, oh and the slings are over priced also. |

From my point of view, which isn't worth that much, slaves are used for screening and fun, not fighting. So giving them any kind of extra gear is a waste of points, except maybe a musician. |

NO!!!!!! NO!!!!!! Keep Slaves cheap. Only one rank will be able to shoot so the rest are wasted. BS2 Horrible anyway. Give Slaves some old rusty weapons and send them in front to die. Does anyone give Slaves shields? |

Voted 'no' on the slings. My reasons were already mentioned by others above. I don't give them shield either, because I think slaves are there to die. I can understand why peeps sometimes do versus low Str. opponents though. I do give them spears from time to time.. makes the opponent wonder if I'll stick around.. or flee anyway. It's nice to mess with the opponents head. |
