8th Ed. Spears vs HW&S

[daismith906]

Im planning on running x2 units of 30 saurus warriors in my 2500 army but cant decide whether to run spears or HW&S.

6x5 with spears.

 

[daismith906]

What about units at 20 & 24 size?

 

[Bibamus]

allways spears the way i see it, with "allmost allways strikes last" they need all the attacks they can get, and they cna be revived so they get all their attacks in most of the time. its also cheap, and a +1AS 6+ WS won't do that much for you, not as much as 5 attacks i say

Agreed, when your already T4 and have a 4+ save you want a bit more bite for your buck I find.

Only time I'd go HW&S is units of 18, as the back rank could go down rather quickly...
