what do people think about spwns?

Personaly I find them a great unit
I have been runnig them with a mark of nurgle , and find them a great tar pit unit and some what killy.
They seem to be realy fast to.

Anyone else use them to any sucsess?

I think they're pretty good. Mark of Nurgle seems to be the mark to take. With no armour save, reducing the amount of wounds you take is kinda nice.

You have to pick your targets carefully too. Some dedicated melee units will eat spawn up. For their points, they're good at what they do, and their speed means you can pick your target.

Agree with both of the above, also great to attach a Lord to on a Juggy or Bike (I think the bike can attach?)

They die to focus fire, but are resilient enough to act as a Lord delievery unit, and if they get into combat, can ruin your day. Much better than last ed.

Next time, that sorceror dies first.. warlord or not!

I just noticed how good endurance would on them.
It will not die , and feel no pain .

Sorc's don't get divination

I cant see anything being as nasty as those guys with invis.. They destroyed any dedicated hth unit they encountered. Now mind you i would of faired better if i had lasting power.. As in no instability, but ack.. Nasty.

I ve been escorting my jugg lord with unmarked spawn and they are still good. If you just move thrpuhh or hug terrain they can weather shooting pretty decent.. Just have to make dangerous terrain rolls for the lord.

I had thousand sons outlast the spawn. It helps when every wound from a force weapon gibs a dude. I also cast terrify on them and they lost combat and ran off the board.

I've been running the Tzeentch Scroll. It can be quite interesting. I think the trick is when to stop using it, I think that point is around turn 4. With a 3++ save, that S3 AP1 hit isn't so scary. If you're lucky enough to cast endurance on the unit (after, as you have to do Scrolls first), you can get wounds back via IWND. Or you could also roll Life Leech.

In my matchup with gulsnik, I had Kharn get into mellee with the invisible nurgle spawn unit.

Kharn still hitting on 2+ (Gorechild woohoo!) with STR 6 had him kill them all over a few turns; and I only lost like 4 zerkers to The Betrayer!
