8th Ed. Saurus with spears or hand weapons?

I just thought I'd post this to keep things on the new posts section.

So what are your thoughts? I like hand weapons personally.

I've been having success with a big old brick of like, 50-some spear saurus. It really comes down to how big the unit is going to be, and the size of the game. Having a horde of 30 spears is kind of useless, unless you plan on doing reform shenanigans later on. For smaller games with smaller units, HW&Shield all the way.

I stick with hand weapons and shield almost always. I could see maybe taking a huge unit of saurus with spears. But it would have to be enough to run in a Horde formation, so that I would get the additional rank of attacks (4 with spears).

Almost always HW for me as well. Parry save ftw
