Troubleshooter
I played a game of Warhammer Fantasy with Josephus today. Low-key at 1100 points. His Bretonnians vs my Dark Elves. I got tabled. Bretonnian knights are just brutal. I couldn’t believe it. They just ran over the Black Guard like tissue paper.
Units of Bretonnian Knights with two characters in there are just head-stompingly good. They get a rank bonus at just three wide and all the knights along the edges get to attack.
He tabled me. Not a single survivor after Turn 4.
In other news. I tried something new against Renn as you can see in the batrep vids I’m putting out. A Dark Elf Master (Hero) on a dark steed. She’s got a 1+ save from: heavy armor, horse, enchanted shield and sea dragon cloak. Then the Pendant of Khaeleth which gives an inverse ward save (roll equal to or UNDER the Strength of the attack– six always fails). With some good tools she can really take care of small problems like skaven weapon teamms.
Against S3 she has 2+ from armor and 3- from pendant: 12 to 1 against.
Against S4 she has 2+ from armor and 4- from pendant: 15 to 1 against (ie on average it takes fifteen wounding hits from a S4 source to inflict a single wound)
Against S5 she has a 3+ from armor and a 5- from pendant: 18 to 1 against
Against S6 she has a 4+ from armor and a 5- from pendant: 12 to 1 against
These odds are even better against shooting attacks since the Sea Dragon Cloak brings her save to a 0+
See how that works? It takes a lot of damage and it’s almost not even worth it to waste high strength shots. And this is against wounding hits. On average it takes 48 archers to do just a single wound.
What I’d like to try is a the Armor of Eternal Servitude on top of all that on a Lord: that would double all those odds. So a S5 wound (nevermind that it has to hit and wound) would be 36 to 1 against actually doing a wound. Virtual invulnerability.
On foot might not be a bad option because then she would have 360 degree vision.
