was just thinking how potentially powerful a bonecrusher riding warlord can be... if he has warlock augmented weapon they have combined total of 10 S5 attacks. however... if you cast death frenzy on his unit they will have 14 S5 attacks... now if you are within 12" of the bell and you strike a 17 those two guys alone will have 16 S5 attacks and will reroll to hit and to wound... i dunno about you but that seems kinda awesome to me... lol... hmmm what unit to kill...i know there are a lot of really killy guys out there but apart from a lucky character that gets extra attack from successful ones what can you think of that has an enourmous number of attacks like this. |

Thats all well and good but all that together will set you back around 700 points, so although powerful costs too much to have a major effect on things. |

Well, to have a Warlord and a Bell you'll be playing 3000 points minimum. He could potentially have a ton of attacks, but Bone Giants win for sheer number of attacks in the perfect cirsumstances. It could happen, but not often enough to really consider it. |

Warlord
|
I played wood elves last night. His general had some spites and wardances giving him d6 s2 attacks at ws 6 or 7 to begin with, then 6 or 7 regular attacks at st5 or something. afew times he roleld up 6's so was dishing out 12-13 attacks. |

thats what i mean apart from incredible fortune from rerollable attacking characters... ie VC lord with auto hit lance and power to attack for each successful wound. i mean it is not that unlikely to roll above a 14 on 3 dice to get the +1 attack for the unit. you can still get 14 attacks from the lord and mount combo even in 2000 pts just with a warlock engineer.... |

bloodthirster can have 2D6+2 S6 attacks at weapon skill 10 with re-rolls to hit(if you kit it out properly). it's more geared towards taking down large things i'll grant you, but you'll still have to be unbreakable and have more guys than it can chop in order to survive a round of combat. but it is a daemon so i'm not sure it counts. |

thats still a maximum of 14 attacks... my rat ogre guy wins... lol... also i dont think the bloodthirster can take the gift that allows you to reroll to hit... only the one that allows rerolling to wound. if you take the 15 magic item for skaven that makes them have to reroll sucessful hits that makes him pretty nasty for a budget price... all up a little over 200 i think. |

my brother plays daemons, and i can check again(as soon as i can find the book) but it can take it. also, just remembered that O&G(at least in sixth edition), have spells that allow you to do multiple rounds of unanswered combat. so they win with a potentially unlimited amount of attacks, because they also have an item that allows you to cast the same spell twice. on top of that they have a way of getting enough power dice to make a flying circus envious. also their miscast chart allows them to cast another spell. so they win for maximum possible amount of attacks(at S7 with weapon skill of higher than a warlord). also, if we're going for a combination of hard to kill and hard hitting. obsidian armor, enough said. dang it, now i feel like a rain cloud. the rat ogre is still awesome! and so is the bell! totally glad we have them. aim at some empire troops and let loose! or even better, some skinks! |

hey! i think the orcs have something like that too! now we can do the 30 rank explosion conga and it won't be cheesy! we're kind of getting ridiculous with these heroes, and i think the rat ogre lord is close to the top for best killer. especially with the fell blade. |

Remember tho, that the Dead Frenzy will pretty much kill the warlord for it causes wounds to the unit it is cast on <_< |

Hi, I've been using a warlord on bonecrusher with the augmented blade in a unit of four rat ogres. Dishes out a healthy 26 S5 attacks!! Granted it's not the character on his own, but it's a fun unit to use... Cheers, Dave |
