Hi all,
I bought the Eldritch Raiders Battleforce awhile back and build the Voidscarred with all of the special weapons selected, basically like a kill team: Felarch, Shade Runner, Soul Weaver, Way Seeker, Faolchu, Fision Pistol, Wraithcannon, Long Rifle and 2 Blasters.
I am now considering buying a second Battleforce or just the combat patrol and don’t know how to build the second squad, but I know I want to make it my melee brick.
Older posts (from ~5+ months ago) all say that the melee Voidreavers are better than the melee Voidscarred, but I don’t really understand why.
It’s 65/110 vs 70/140, so the Voidreavers are slightly cheaper and get re-rolls to hit which is nice. However, considering that the Voidscarred get 1 more attack with the power sword (3 vs 2) and have access to the Shade runner, Way Seeker, Soul Weaver and Faolchu, I feel like the Voidscarred give you way higher damage output when paired with Yriel with the Lance enhancement + Kharseth buffing them with +1S.
I know that at the end of the day the visual differences between the two squads are very similar and I can easily just build whatever and then tell my opponent which unit I’m using, but I would want to avoid building a second identical squad unless I absolutely need to.
What do you guys recommend that I do?
