Bodies or shields?; Which one?

Shields on Clanrats, but not on Slaves for me.

My reasoning is that it's a cheap way of increasing survivability on my clanrat units (1/8th of a clanrat), but less cheap on the slaves (1/4 of a slave!)

Also, I really couldn't give a rats behind about the slaves :)

Clanrats always get the shields. Stormvermin really shouldn't unless you want to up your armour save against a very ranged-based army.

I figured the poll was just about slaves since they're the main question mark. If I expect a lot of S3 opponents, I tend to like them. Also like them if I'm not just tarpitting, but intending to win some combats from the flank. It really depends what's on the board. If you can win combats with slaves and another unit, shields are high priority. If you're just holding things in place (and those things are 4+ Strength), then bring bodies.

Sometimes I bring a combination if I believe I can control the field and decide which units will match up.
