I can't decide which set to pick up at games day so i'm summing up their pros and cons but I want to see what you think first. So here we go...
Models-not discussing them because both sets are fantastic but I do like the white lions better-they're so much more dynamic than the Phoenix guard.
Stats-they both have standard HE profiles with WS5, but the PG have I6 Ld9, and the WL have S4
Equipment-They both wear heavy armour, WL have the lion cloaks which give them Sv3+ against shooting
The PG have halberds making them S4 whearas the WL have great weapons making them S6
Special rules-PG cause fear, and have 4+ ward save
WL are stubborn, and have forest strider
Both units have SOA, and VOA
There it is, what would you choose-they cost the same points, can have full command (again at same points), and the champion can select 25 points of magic items and a 50 point banner. Any suggested builds and tactics would be greatly appreciated.
