lustriangod2 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 So now that most characters have been tamed down. Who do you think is considered to be the best character available? Either by himself or with the combo of troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I believe Karl Franz is the best named character as he has many options to be fielded and with ghal maraz ignores armour and does multiple wounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hellebron is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well the fey enchantress is a pretty powerful wizard with a +6 to cast a lore of life spell and can autocast a random spell from the lore of heavens every turn.

lustriangod2 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I was going to put Throgg, great minds think alike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkieft Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 What do you mean by "best"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yes, both hellbrone and throgg are good, however karl has hitting power as well as staying power. Before units are takin into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes, both hellbrone and throgg are good, however karl has hitting power as well as staying power. Before units are takin into consideration. See, I put the coolness of throgg over boring old karl any day, thus making him the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lustriangod2 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I am talking about what character is considered to be elite. The most elite named character in the warhammer world. One that is a tough nut to crack. Either by himself or what troops he can bring with him to complete the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I am talking about what character is considered to be elite. The most elite named character in the warhammer world. One that is a tough nut to crack. Either by himself or what troops he can bring with him to complete the package. Grimgor Ironhide. Brings a whole new meaning to the word Pain. WS8, S7 with S9 on the first round of combat, T5, W3, I5 with ASF, A5!, AS1+ with a ward save of 5+ with Hatred Everybody. Then come the Immortulz.

MexicanNinja Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hellbrone for the win then. She beats ironhide to the dirt. Put her on a cauldron and in a pack of executioneers. She brings up to 10 S10 attacks with ASF, is able to give the executioneers frenzy, and can kill over 2 ranks of models on the charge.

Brick Bungalow Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'll go with the Mad Count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thorek or Archaeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I haven't seen the rules for current archeon, so couldn't make an educated guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thorek or Archaeon. Didn't Thorek take the FAQ bat to the nuts? I thought Kraggi was one-use-only now because f*dwarfs... maybe I'm misremembering, still trying to re-acquaint myself with fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Even after a nerf Thorek is ridiculous. Board wide effects with no counter... Yay? Archaeon is purely a monster, very few things can handle him once uzuhl is out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisetiger7 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hmm... As with combo with troops... Alarielle and Teclis. +9 to cast light/life buffs on unit with Banner of Avelorn? Yes please. In their unit, Alarielle can also take Life or Light, so you can potentially have two casts of the same spell per turn, three with Stave of Avelorn. Hello, three castings of Pha's, -3 to hit the unit, with +9, +8, and +8 to cast it. Throw on +2T or 5+ Regen, we're looking at a Deathstar that you can't hit, nor wound, not to mention Teclis and all his extra power dice for one round. Throw in a bunch of nobles to take up the front rank, so Teclis and Alarielle go to the second rank, and have Teclis cast boosted Savage Beast of Horros, and now you have a unit that practically can't be hit, can't be wounded, and has 30 S7 attacks with ASF. Oh, might as well give them Banner of the World Dragon too. Or just Kairos. By himself. edit: is Kairos as good as he was last book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 To paraphrase the crow... Squack Squaack Bang F-Word I'm dead. That's Kairos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
