Heroes Tretch Craventail*** Tretch has the same stat line as a Chieftain which makes sense as he is one. He gets a total of 5 attacks due to his extra hand weapon and tail weapon. He has an innate 4+ Ward Save due to his Lucky Skull Helm. The Helm also gives him one re-roll on either to hit, to wound, armor, or ward save, Leadership test or Stay Here I'll get help roll. So basically compared to a normal Chieftain you pay an extra 45pts for the re-roll mentioned above and the Tretch's Raiders special rule. The special rule allows re-rolls to hit by Storm-vermin and Clan-rats that are fighting to the flank or rear of an opposing unit as long as Tretch is in the said unit. So overall this character is pointed about right I would probably use him in an army list with Stormvermin for the re-rolls, but this is a bit situational, a great boost to the Stomvermin's combat if it works. Deathmaster Snikch** Deathmaster Snikch comes in at about twice the price of normal Assassins and only has 2 wounds. When fighting ASF Elves or ASF characters Snikch's high Initiative doesn't help him. He is quite good at carving up multi wound models as long as they don't have high toughness or good armor, so Ogres, Minotaurs, and other T4 multi wound troops. Snikch might also be good for Chariot killing with the Weeping Blades being multi wound and giving -2 to the chariots armor saves. Snikch's primary role is character assassination particularly Mages and other squishy characters. His high WS means he may stay alive a bit longer and will hit on 3's with re-rolls on most troops doing D3 wounds per unsaved, but generally Snikch is not worth the points in my opinion. He is quite brittle with only 2 wounds. Tips and tricks Chariot killer Warmachine hunter MI killer Character assassination Edited by King Rat, 5th November 2014 - 08:57 PM.
