OK- so I'm hoping to get some positive tunneling NR stories here. Something like "rear charged a unit of Plague Bearers on turn 2 and made them, and their Herald, 'pop!'". I'd like to start, but I've got nothing so far. I've taken them 4 times: #1- Arrived on turn 6. By then my Gutter Runners had already taken out the Empire cannon and Mortar, and held table quarters. The tunnelers contributed nothing. #2- Partial collapse on turn 2. Only 6 of 20 survived the strength test (you don't need to be a powerlifter when you stab people in the back for a living, I suppose), then they LOST (never to rally) against a High Elf bolt thrower crew (which got lucky and ASF'd the Grinder Team). Elves were later less than lucky and got shredded by the Gutter Runners. #3- Arrived on turn 2 and scattered to be placed under a unit of Saurus. They got chopped up (needing to place them at the unit's front didn't help; I had been hoping to try a rear charge). #4- Cave in on turn 3 or 4. 'Nuf said. Have yours done better? Even worse (if that's possible)? Stories here... :ph43r: |

For me in 6th ed, they trapped the crew of a RBT (Blader's) and destroyed it automatically. I only took them that game In 7th ed... Nothing |

I've only used mine once with outstanding success! They killed a big unit of Orcs with a flank charge. |

Mixed success for me. Did great against Empire killing a large unit of handgunners on a hill and panicking a nearby cannon. Against Dwarfs scattered onto the Dwarf lord and his hammerer bodyguard and suffered their inevitable fate. Gutter runners have been more effective for me. Ratarsed |
