So far I only have a few games played but I must say that I prefer the oldblood in front of the scar-vet a 100 times over. Yes it is 60 pts more but for that I get +1 Ws, +1 W and + 1 A. And on top of that 50 more pts to spend on items. The scar-vet is cheap, yes. But for me its the oldbood that I want. Rather two OB then one of each if points allow it. It was so fun a couple of days ago when I played my dark elves friend. First time for me playing against a shooty army. I thought I was going to lose because every round he was killing of a few saurus and skinks from shooting. I was so afraid to approach him because of the bolt throwers and his crossbows. My steg was parked behind a forest for protection and because of that got charged by a black guard unit. It lost combat and fled! Because of my cowardice. Next time it will be full speed ahead with the army. And then I got in close combat and things changed. My oldblood gen challenged his general and just before that I got of the +3 A +3 S spell on him. It was so nice 8 strength 6, ws 10 attacks. The elf was no more…. Then my other oldblood massacred what was left of his cold ones. So. Oldbloods for me all the way. Side note. Charged a unit of crossbows with a skink chief carrying the egg. Rolled st 5. Double ones…wtf. When I saw st 5 i was sure the unit was going to break….but no. Bad luck. Next time he will be prepared for my oldbloods so Im going to surprise him. Im thinking of taking the arabian carpet. Do you guys have any exp. with it. Advices? /Crillaz

Oh man that was a great read. Has recommended minis, like 10 builds. Probably is damn hard to make work with 2400 points and the new slann if you want anything on him and the BSB. 2500/2600 points easier. I guess you could always rock a SV BSB.
