Schurge Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Are there any advantages to bringing Khorne Bikers over Khorne Spawn as a delivery system for a Juggerlord? It looks good on paper but Spawn are a lot cheaper... have a lot more wounds and can eat a lot more shots considering how many AP3 or better shots they are forced to eat. The only thing I can thing of is the Officer who can accept challenges on the Juggerlord's behalf... but my lord never refuses a challenge on principle anyway...

Smurfalypse Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The only advantage is the save and maybe someone to take a clutch challenge so your Lord can smoke the rest of an opponents squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Better save, jink, special weapons, champion for challenges, and numbers I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreaper84 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Challanges really dont matter in 7th as much as they did b/c wounds carry over. The bikes i feel are used better as a a differnt type of roll, fast mobile shooting with combat potential rather than dedicated. The spawn have a pure combat harrasment role, which overlaps the juggelords purpose. Every turn the juggerlord is not in combat makes him a sad panda....that and with the emerging prevalance of grav guns the spawn now perform operation gibbering shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Drake Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 You've answered the question yourself really, Spawn synergies too well as Beasts with Cavalry. Juggerlord goes with Spawn and the Nurgle bike Lord goes with Nurgle Bikes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your opponent's character has a really good invuln (3++ or better) then having a Champion take him on for a round will allow your Khorne Lord to own the squad he is with before he can soak wounds. Still pops up once or so in most games I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Special weapons, Challenge Champion and Icon of Wrath, the 3+ saves and grenades are the main reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathias Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 As oreaper84 already stated, the spawn synergize well with the Jugger Lord since he wants to be in CC just as bad as those spawn. I think bikers obviously have a place in a list with the JL + Spawn with their mobile shooting, and providing a screen to the J-Lord and his crew.
