  1. Was wondering why the musician for spider riders is 10pts but only 5pts for wolf riders?

    Also would like some more clarity on the Netters upgrade. This says you can only have netters in the first three ranks. But the upgrade is paid for with however many models you have in the the whole unit at 1 point per gobbo.
