Which evil faction infantry would you choose to hold the line?

Bloodydagger#9716

I'd go with Black Guards or Black Orcs.

“The Stormvermin of the Red Guard were exceptional fighters, standout killers even amongst the massive Skaven army. In their long service to their Warlord, they had taken sacred banners from Ironbreakers, brought down Giants and worn necklaces fashioned from the teeth of Black Orc commanders.”

I’d go for those guys..

saweendra#3399

Slaanesh hellscorge chosen

Captain_Rex#1635

Chosen of Tzeentch with Halberds.

DarthEnderX-#6513

Ghorst Zombies.

Passthechips#4366

Holding the line? Gotta go with the evil Dawi equivalent: Infernal Guard Ironsworn

Xihu#1413

Pheonix Guard

I did. Evil faction… your insult is joining the Pheonix Guard in the Great Book of Grudges!

Beast_of_Guanyin#8747

Black Orcs.

I wouldn't even call Orcs "evil" though. They're not motivated by that. So out of actual evil races I'd go Black Guard.

SaintCorn#3148

Infernal Guard with the fireglaives. Heavily armored dwarfs with repeating guns and halberds is definitely good at range and up close.

kaiki_utokyo#9006

In game Tzeench Chosen (Helberd).

Slaanesh Chosen is of course the best damage absorber, but I hope my line-holding infantry have some damage-making offense function. Thus AP, anti-large and magic attack T-Chosen is my answer.

kaiki_utokyo#9006

And my answer would be Nurgle Chosen (Great Weapon) if I have to choose the best all-around infantry.

Wyvax#7456

I'll third the Black Orcs, as they're ded 'ard and armed to da teef. Of all the evil factions the Greenskins appeal to me the most, just some good old-fashioned monsters with no devious scheme or desires other than finding a proper fight. I can respect them a hell of lot more than the other baddies.

Pede#6322

T-man chosen baby!

Rheingold#6691

Tzeentch chosen - add a lord with the barrier replenishment talent (although in a small radius) and its not even close.

Reeks#2417

Nurgle Chosen with GW

Add some sweet juice from Papa-aka healing and those beasts will last all day long.

Sure but it doesn't say how many skaven they sent first to weaken them

I mean every true son of Aenarion knows that just a couple of demons never hurt anybody. That whole story is Asur propaganda, and Morathi was there and knows the truth.

Besides that vortex was actually just an Asur attempt to control the weather and ruin Naggoroth by making it snow knowing that Malekith hates snow.

The Red Guard follow Queek into battle, always first in and last to leave.

Maedrethnir#1968

The Black Guard, because they are Elves.

NemoTheElf101#1472

Grave Guard. They're not the most elite but they look amazing, are the corpses of men who knew and fought Sigmar, and literally cannot and will not retreat no matter what happens.

The funny/sad part is that this isn't too far from how the Dark Elves see the entire situation. High Elves can do nothing right and the Dark Elves are just the eternal victims.

damon40000#7640

skavenslaves are good at both holding superior forces just enough to shoot them down amd bullets by their backs

D4nz0N1nj4Wr1t3r#6847

Chosen of Slaanesh with Hellscourges are probs best right now

Chronoid#8775

On their own? Probably either Nurgle or Tzeentch Chosen

With propper support? Undead. Be they skeletons, zombies or wights, their whole shtick has always been bogging the enemy down, never running away and healing faster than the enemy takes them down.

And that's without getting into Tabletop where, in some editions, ethereal units were impervious to anything without spells or magic weapons.

I agree. Infernal Guard is the best infantry to hold.

Maybe it’s time for the true elves and dwarfs to make an alliance again… Last time was not too hard to achieve, and repeater crossbows are getting obsolete now that even the lesser races of the Far East are able to amass them.

“The Druchii have no friends. Only victims.”

We’re victims only from weakness and empathy. But one day we will ascend from our ashes, renewed and without weakness.
Then and only then our enemies will know the true meaning of fear.
