Topic of the Week - Paymaster's Bodyguards

This is the start of a new series, that will hopefully bring new ideas and tactics to the forums. Each week, a new topic will be posted up about a different unit in the army book. This gives you your chance to discuss the unit to its fullest. So, please leave your comment!

This week's topic is - Paymaster's Bodyguards

Why take this unit? Is it worth the special slot? Is the heavy armour option worth the points?

Discuss.

Beats me, they're the same price as Zweihan-I mean Greatswords for... What exactly? I think it's just that GW overpriced stubborn when the DoW articles were written.

They are a good option for holding ground. WS4 is better then most other DoW units, they are the only unit with halberds and with the Paymaster they are Ld8 Stubborn, perfect for holding the battleline.

Another advantage they have is that with heavy armour they are the same price per model as a basic pikeman.

[GMJoeSolarte]

agreed, they are a viable unit. Unless you need the Paymaster/BSB elsewhere in a mobile option.
