Does anyone field a block of TG without a slann? If so, do you give them the full kit with magic banner, etc? Or is it beneficial to save the points and just put another block of warriors in the list?
TG gain point of strength but lose a point of AS and the shield ward due to halberd. The also gain a point of WS and a point of Initiative, but cost a lot more. They can also take a magic std and the champ a cheap magic item. They are generally worth the extra points if fielded with a slann, opinions differ when fielded without a slann as the TG/slann combo gains a lot of special rules. SW are a lot more cost effective unless you really need the extra points of Str, WS or I to make your battle plan work. Skrox can get you I and Str; Krox Str and Scar Vets can do all three. As TG get so much better with a slann, I generally plan to have the slann with the TG block when I want a TG block and run the slann solo only when I don't want/need TG.
