Great eagle unit sizes are 1+! Somebody make a unit of 12 and let me know how it goes! Haha
Seriously, though, is there any benefit to taking more than one in a unit?

Re: Eagle Extravaganza!
Well you could horde them up and they could take out a unit of wolfriders just like in the hobbit!
Seriously though with warhawk riders on the rooster any use you could have for a unit of eagles could be better done with them- with some versatility to boot.

Hewhorocks beat me too it...
Whow Eagle units sound sweet, I can't wait to get my book, reminds me of the battle in the hobbit move with the White Orc, when the Dwarfs are all up that tree and Gandalf calls the Eagles for help. In game terms though I'm not sure they will be better than Warhawk riders if you want flying units.

Re: Eagle Extravaganza!
I miss the OLD eagles when they had WS7 and S5. With the new Warhawk boosts they serve better as singles.

Re: Eagle Extravaganza!
Warhawk riders are just straight up better in any unit size that they are legal in. 5 points cheaper, more attacks, KB etc.
Use great eagles for what they are best at. Cheap redirectors, chaff hunters, and combat trick enablers.

Re: Eagle Extravaganza!
Is anybody else put out that we didn't get the same upgrades for our Eagles as High Elves did?
They can add ASF, AP and the like (for extra cost, of course), but we got no options to upgrade our Eagles at all. Anybody else find that strange?

Re: Eagle Extravaganza!
I do find it weird, but not exactly troublesome. It's not like I would have upgraded the Eagles anyway. That said, do High Elves train their Eagles? Or equip them with Armour Piercing claw guards? Because how do they get that?

Re: Eagle Extravaganza!
Granted, the point may be moot in that most people wouldn't upgrade anyway. But it was one of the little things I expected to see (especially as they brought Great Stags in line with the Storm of Magic versions), and was surprised to find missing...
Maybe it's because they're "special" Eagles from Ulthuan, rather than "common" Eagles from the Grey Mountains

Re: Eagle Extravaganza!
Ya it's kind of a rip off that we didn't get the upgrades. Either way I'm gonna have a tough time fitting them in. There's just too many good options now!
