Hi all, as the topic says, which troops fill which positions?
S4 - Empire Halberdiers?
S5 - Dwarf GW Warriors?
S6 - ?

Not checked the books and not an Orc player but Black Orcs choosing to use great weps via armed to the teef might edge out White Lions, Executioners, Greatbeards and Hammerers?
Tho Khorne warriors with great weps might be the cheapest per S6 attack - 19 pts a model with 3 attacks.

S4 - Bretonnian Men-at-Arms with Halberds are cheaper than Empire Halberdiers (but Brets also have lower Weapon Skill, of course).

This is what we have so far: S4 - Empire Halberdiers 6pts S5 - Dwarf GW Warriors 10pts S6 - Black Orcs 12pts Any advance on those? |

Har Ganeth Executioners and Grave Guard with GWs also have S6 at 12 points a model. |

Empire halberdiers were cheaper in 7th by 1pt Only very strictly speaking. It's a 6th edition army book that got an official update for the 8th edition by GW... which, as a result, makes it the official 8th edition army list for Bretonnia. So... in the 8th edition of Warhammer, Bretonnian Men-At-Arms with halberds are a unit with S4 that costs 5 points per model... |

Ok then, we have: S4 - Bretonian Men-at-arms 5pts S5 - Dwarf GW Warriors 10pts S6 - Black Orcs/Executioners/Grave Guard 12pts |

Squigs: Strength 5 (with WS4 and 2 attacks per model), cost 8 points Oooh good call! It's kinda a joint profile, but I think it counts, because even though you need a goblin for every 3, he does at least get his standard goblin attacks! S4 - Bretonian men-at-arms - 5pts S5 - Cave Squigs - 8pts S6 - Executioners/Black Orcs/Grave Guard - 12pts Anyone any advance on those? |

It needs to be permanent stats only S4 - Bretonian men-at-arms - 5pts S5 - Cave Squigs - 8pts S6 - Bestigors/Executioners/Black Orcs/Grave Guard - 12pts Is that the final list? Anymore for anymore? |

That can't be the final list until I know the cheapest S2, S3, S7 etc. attacks! And then which models are the cheapest points per attack.
