==Command Group==
Each Command Group option (almost) always costs 10 points and adds some value to a unit. You could have brought an upgrade or more models for these points, so knowing which units need which upgrades are essential.

'''Champions:''' - It is always good value for a melee unit, most often has +1A (or +1BS if its a dedicated shooting unit) and reroll failed rolls to march, redirect charges, reforms, charge redirects, or restrain from pursuit. On solid and expensive guys like Ogres, Champions can squeeze in more killing potential for the units. On the Skirmish or Fast Cavalry unit, they ensure that the unit does as it's told. If you don't need more movement control or melee support, like, for example, most of the stationary ranged units, it is generally safe to skip a champion.

'''Musicians:''' - Gives an edge in case of a tie in combat resolution step, lets the unit reform before they move, and grants reroll to rally rolls or auto rally for Feigned Flight. They're your man if you need a unit to make sudden pivots like regular cavalry. Swift Reform is less valuable on Skirmisher and Fast calvary, but their musicians come discounted and desirable if they have inadequate or even just average LD. It can also be suitable for shooting units with non-cumbersome weapons like bows and slings to readjust their line of sight against fast-moving targets (the swift reform does count as moving with the usual -1 to hit and can't shoot with handguns-esque weaponry).

'''Standard Bearers:''' - Provide a +1 to COMBAT RESOLUTION, but you lose them when the unit breaks in melee (only in melee, the enemy captures them or something. In other cases of breaking, standard survives). For more elite units (plus now most normal rank&file troops in 9th), Banners can be enchanted to grant a unit a myriad of bonuses. For basic troops, think about if they need the +1. Archers shouldn't be in melee, so you can skip safely this. On the other hand, Elite troops must consider all the magical banners; perhaps one will bring an easy victory?
