You'd challenge me.... really?

Oh, absolutely.
At the very worst: better one dead hero than three dead knights.

[Cannonofdoom]

My Doombull's name is Jimbo.

And I have a spawn named Chicken.

Just thought I would throw that in there.

[Nicholas Bies]

up the number of knights

Okay.. I'll take the bait. What hero with what configeration do you use?

[Nicholas Bies]

2 for you in my regular based army.

Dreadlord with Caledors bane (so str7 on the charge) potion of strength (+3 str 1 round of combat mine or yours - one use only), Pendant on Dragon, heavy armour, shield.

But the once I'm talking about is my Razor Assassin - 3 attacks +1 handweapon + d3, Killing blow (and when fully maxed out although this is rare he's also got manbane).

TBH I'd probably take out less then 3. My rought math hammer has it at:

Dragon rider  = 3 wounds at 6+AS, 5+ ward so 2 dead around.
Dragon = 3 wounds at 5+AS, 5+ ward, 2 go to ward so 1-2 dead

Assassin = 6 attacks on average, 4.5 hit, 3 or so wound, 3+AS put 1 wound at 6+. Then again I seem to roll very lucky with this guy (got 2 kB on manfred with 4 attacks and 1 on my opponents regen wright king killing both! haha).

*keep in mind the assassin is in a unit of Black Guard usually buffed with KB from the couldron as well.

Why on Earth would you give someone with S7 +3S??? It's not like that 1 is gonna get reduced?

St 7 is on the charge, so he might be using it at the next round of combat, or if gets charged.

[Cannonofdoom]

Or if you charge a Star Dragon or something.

[shavixmir]

Who on Earth actually uses dragons and stanks?

Good grief. In a 2000 point game???

Man... it's just as well I've got my men@arms, or I'd start to get worried.

[Nicholas Bies]

2500pt games.

And Shav- have you NEVER read one of my battle or tourney reports?!

Er no.
Are there battle reports on this site? Seriously, I didn't know.
In fact, I don't even know what army this character of yours is in. I thought Chaos, but I've got the warrior chaos book* and the combo isn't in there. So, I'm stumped.
But you should beware of my men@arms. Seriously. They're gonna do you over like a cheap prostitute on the streets of Moscow.


* Well, okay, technically I've borrowed the book... gotta see if I want to start that army or not. But all choices are postponed until I've read 8th edition rules.

[Nicholas Bies]

I'm not very impressed. To be quite honest, unbreakable and ranked units are the bane of my Bretonnian army. I couldn't imagine having too much difficulty taking your list on.

The only thing going for you is three terror causing units. And that's a little uber if you ask me.

With so little magic, I'm quite surprised you beat TK's. What was his list like?

[Nicholas Bies]

Khalia
3xLP
40 bowmen
2x20 bowmen
4x4 chariots
2 bone giants

Shavix I'm also the best gamer in Hong Kong (nah just kidding).

4x4 chariots is bizarre.
They'll have suffered from not having princes in them though.

Khalia? Is that the special character which gives the bows poison attacks (I don't have my book here and I never use special characters).

2 bone giants... he deserved to lose... Good grief...

I was once a chess champion (nah, just kidding).

[Nicholas Bies]

haha yea the TK game was an issue.

Vamp's were easy walk overs it was only some poor moves on my side that stopped me from getting a Win game 5 as well.

Shave tbh I always struggle against Brets, even when playing Empire. I can take on any unit you have, but when you throw 2-3 at me I can't juggle them all.
