I'd say stars for the nightrunners, I use them for march-blocking purposes, so most of the time they are close enough to use stars. Then again, if you're using large numbers of Nightrunners for any reason, and you expect to receive charges with them, just go for the slings and stand and shoot... *Drool over getting those 40 shots of one day* |

i did a couple of practice games before i battled properly and as people have said before slings have several advantages but many more disadvantages, i found their longer range a hinderance and help, as they could reach three times further butm had a negative modifier on long range, i find that stars are much better because my favourite tactic to whittle down large lightly armoured units is to constantly move round their flanks and shoot them and with stars there is no modifiers for moving and shooting. |

well it depends on how the unit is being used, if you're up close and running circles around the enemy(which is what most Eshin armies do) then stars so that you can actually hit. However, slings would be nice on a small unit to just throw in a forest and slowly pepper the enemy. i think i might take a small unit of about 10, maybe two of them just for long range purposes while i confuse the enemy with my skirmishers, but i would much rather have stars/knives |
