Hey all!
I keep seeing lists posted on here with folks asking for critique and help. A simple mistake si keep seeing is a Painboy attached to a unit of 10 Boyz.
This is a mistake.
The Painboy heals wounds in your command phase, which means you need to survive your opponents turn to gain value from his ability. Simply put, a unit of 10 Boyz is not going to be able to survive in this way.
These same lists often have a unit of 20 Boyz as well, or sometimes a unit of 3w elites like Nobz or Flash Gitz. Either of these are better places to put the Painboy, for the critical mass of wounds.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps some of you!
WAAAGH!!!
