What figure is the worst in your opinion based on stats?

I think it's the Barbstrider. In this game, any figure that makes your enemies stronger is a bad deal.

Axemorph Demon, the most expensive spawn cost in the game 12PP and it's inferior in all respects to at least 3 cheaper creatures {Noble Dragon, Dreadmorph Ogre, Eater of Hope}

As for the Barbstrider, while I don't rate it as highly as the other 2 point creatures. It's still a bargin. It works very well at the start of the game, when you don't have enough units to stack several in one cell. And is a great unit on turn-3. If your opponent wins initiative & destroys it you get a 3-dice deathstrike. Also a cheap unit to expend for "Appease".

The Barbstrider is actuall very good.   Play them as  really cheap loner figs  then  cost you 0 net points and they work great in an aggressive band.    The Cannibal  is a bit sturdier and works in groups better  so often gets played first, but I wouldn't hesitate to use the strider as needed  when I want a 4th or 5th   2 drop.

My vote for worse  is  figs like Doomball.   For being a one shot fig it isn't nearly aggressively costed enough.   Even at  4F  his stats aren't playable.  Should be a 3F  fig.

Barbstrider - use one of these with three cannibal Pariahs so you can spawn as much as possible early in the game.  Rush the barbstrider as far over as possible, then spawn the Eater of Hope and kill the Strider.

Axemorph Demon - pair it with ANYBODY with two or more power, and watch what happens when you attack.  You can almost bank on the double blade ability.

I'd honestly say the Painmonger (dies too fast for his points) or the All_Seeing Mage (If there were enough Janus figures for his warpstrike to be useful).

Doomball
Painmonger
Steelborn Griffin
Shard Troll
Prowling Leopardman
Screambent Lunatic

Are my nominations for worst figs.  Probably in the order listed.  They are all pretty unplayable in my mind.

Why the Griffon?

I feel Passion and madness are too weak to stand on their own like mono Valor and mono Fear can.  Passion and Madness have to be mixed with the other two factions to be solid.  Just my 2 cents.

I dont know - I have played against some pretty nasty Janus Warpstrike bands - I'll grant that it takes a skilled player to work well - but mono fear and mono madness can be solid - IMO

course now I feel stupid - I have never played against a mono madness Janus warp band. All have had valor in them. I have played against strong mono fear though.
