    As the title says can a scar vet be good in combat if he has the Fencer's Blade. I know there are better options but this is just for fun and i was wondering if anyone had some ideas for what i could do with him.

    Throw Pha's protection on there too. That would mean that a lot of the lower weapons skill attacks will need 6s to hit.

    I really like the fencer's blades. I like using it on skink chiefs as well. Once, in a 1500 point game against VC, I had a skink chief that killed the vampire general.

    Well i was thinking of just giving him an additional hw and adding Venom of the Firefly Frog to him and then giving him Armor of Fortune. Cause there i'll have 6 S5 attacks that are poisoned and he has a 3+ AS and 5+ ward

    How about something like this...




    Saurus Scar-Veteran
    Cold One + Light Armour + Fencer's Blades + The Other Trickster's Shard

    You get 5 WS10 attacks (and one cold one attack), a 2+ save, cause fear, and enemy re-rolls successful ward saves.

    only infantry gain an extra attack from double hand weapon. I suggest fencer + bane head + light armour (to kill enemy heroes)

    Read the fine print, paired magic weapons they don't follow the same rule as an extra hand weapon.

    I think he would be a good troop killer. With S5 and WS10 plus lots of attacks(around 6).
