Is a mounted Herald worth taking in the new edition?

I am the worst person to ask. I know a little about Blood Bowl (keyword: little) and much less about the other games. I just thought it was a cool looking model with a very nice paint job.

Fair enough. It's a great model and one I'd love to use. I have a tomb kings Herald and maybe twice fielded him. It's a frustrating thing as I said before, I want to use the models I like but they have to have some value. The Herald usually is just free points for my opponent. The 8th edition armybook is such a disappointment, so many cool ideas that were so poorly realized.

Have to admit, I have been spending more time chanting at a Herdstone and defending/corrupting wild overgrown places with my Beastmen in TOW, but I do know Tomb Kings are a lot more solid now than they were in 8th. Combat Resolution is quite a big part of TOW, so I'd certainly consider it worth taking a cheap Herald with Battle Standard to give a unit an additional +1 alongside its standard and ranks.

Thank you for that, I haven't gotten into it due to lack of players who want to play newer editions. I just want to see the book have the nice balance it had in 6th edition and not be the lame Undead army. I've hear they are quite strong right now and it puts a smile on my face. Amusingly the guy who is my main opponent is a huge beastmen player. I just bought and painted up a ghorgon for him for Christmas.
