8th Ed. Oldblood w heroslayer on a carnosaur

[ajokerk]

So, I've been running an Oldblood on a carnosaur w/heroslayer, the armor of destiny, a shield and a bane head. Just in friendly matches, btw. And he has been really kicking ass--tearing through normal units given the bonuses he gets for being in B2B contact, and a lovely challenger to the other army's general as well. even if they square off one on one, that's still six S6 attacks.

Here's my question: am I screwing up a rule here? Does he not get the benefits from heroslayer because he's mounted? Also, any oldblood builds you guys want to share?

Don't see why you wouldn't....
(have to cheek rules)

I did make one build where I maximized the number of rolls my oponent would have to make.
(fear test, LD test, reroll sucessful wounds, ect...)
Haven't tried it out yet tho.

You should work in the other trickster's shard, to make those heroes reroll successful ward saves too. I think this would also work against regen, since that is considered a ward save now.

This looks like an interesting and very durable combat build.

[lord karnik]

does the lack of ward save bother you in the set ups?

No +1 attack due to being mounted, i believe you still get the WS 10.
