Warlock Engineer + Warpstone Armor = War Machine Hunter?

Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried equipping an Engineer with Warpstone Armour and a pistol and then skitterleaping him near enemy war machines? I know that his 2 (pistol gives additional attack in CC) and WS 3 S 3 attacks are not likely to do anything but do you think that S4 return blast from the Warpstone Armor might do the trick?

I know its not competitive but could be fun to send 53ish points of angry engineer into a cannon or bolt thrower, not cause any actual hits, and still kill their warmachine :ph43r:

it'd work a treat on elves with always strikes first they'd kill themselves before you even roll to attack most likely.

the odss aren't with you thats for sure, with only 2 wounds the warlock will most likely get a total of 1 or 2 strength 4 return hits. everything else is strength 3.

more effective to just use a chieftain with a shield. higher toughness, more attacks, higher base strength, a parry save, same armor, higher weapon skill, and cheaper.

Pity you cant put Skalm and Warpstone Armor on a Hero, that could be a winning combo.

I used a Warlord, Shield, Warlitter, Warpstone Armor, Dawnstone (2+ re-rollable), Other tricksters Shard vs. Demons the other day and he certainly absorbed some of the damage and reflected some wounds back.

With the new 50% Lords and Heroes he will stay in my Stormvermin list for a while.

I ran a similar Warlord build against a Wood Elf opponent this weekend. S4 against T3 was fun, especially when her War Dancers lined up on my Stormvrmin unit and I made way so that four of them had to all hit the warlord. He only dropped one with his attack (bad rolling) but they dished out 8 attack, 4 wounds, and i think i sent 2 back there way :).
