How do you guys kit out your oldbloods? What would u use for a character hunter or a good leader for a saurus block?
The cool thing about the Old blood imo is that you can easily obtain the 1+ armour save without the mount. Also with 100 points to play with you can come up with an insane amount of hilarious combinations. Here are a few I made up during yesterday's night shift: Anti Elite Infatry: Old Blood Cold one Fencers Blades Crown of Command Glittering Scales Luckstone 270 Anti Phoenix Guards: Old Blood Gold Sigil Sword Gambler's Armour/Glittering Scales Crown of Command Dawnstone Shield 241/246 Challenger/character hunter: Old Blood Cold One Fencers Blades Dawnstone Glittering Scales The Other Trickster's Shard 270 Support DPS: Old Blood Sword of Bloodshed Stegadon Helm of Itza Cold One 270 For competetive builds check out the tactica forum
I like to use: Armour of destiny, dawnstone, great weapon. Rerollable 1+ armour save, with 4+ ward save and 5 S7 attacks is just so good and only costs 251pts. That leave you with plenty enough points for the slann.
My 2 cents on Oldblood Goal: Obtain combat resolution ------------------------------------- Cold One Dragonhelm Sword of striking (+1 to hit) Dawn Stone Potion of Strenght (use it against high armour save) Goal: Stronghold ------------------------------- Armour of destiny Luck Stone Crown of Command Great Weapon *You can improve your AS with a Cold One or Stay him on foot and you can join him in Skirmish unit. Goal: Anti Nurgle DP or other nasty flyers (needs another character in unit) -------------------------------- Cold One Glittering Scales Fencers Blade Potion of Strenght Opal Amulet Torch against Flyers (carried by support character in the same unit) Goal: Anti Tzeencth immortal lords. ------------------------------------------- Cold One Light Armour Blade of Realities. Goal: Cheap and brought in couples ----------------------------------------- 2x Cold One Great Weapon Light Armour
