8th Ed. Spears on COC?

[airjamy]

So, to follow in the footsteps of Nightbringer, i think this one is worth a poll.We do have a thread discussing the matter, but i am interested to know where a vote would end. I have been thinking about this particular question a lot, and i cannot really come to a conclusive answer, what do you think?

They just get so ridiculously expensive for that S5 charge

If I were to run Spears I'd probably run then 7 wide and have 15 S5 attacks and have a couple in reserve

I never run spears in 8th, not on COR nor on SW.

I feel the spears for the COR are way too expensive for the points.

I have only ran COR a couple of times and have never taken Spears. I would probably take them if I didn't run a Scar-Vet in the unit, for that S5 on the charge, but I find Spears to be way too expensive for them. I mean, how can a Scar-Veteran/Oldblood get a Spear for 50%/75% of the cost that they do?!

That S5 sounds cool, and at the beginning I've took spears.... only to discover that, in the end, it makes a not so great difference, while those points would have been really more useful if used for something else.
Now, when I take COR, they never have spears.

I've always taken spears without even thinking much about it. I like the strength 5 charge. But after reading these posts I have started to think about it and they are rediculously expensive for what you get from it. Looks like i'll be freeing up some points in the future
