Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Are BSB's on chariots a risk or would you take one? Thinking of running one soon in my MSU list but never ran one as a mount. But the COCs are solid and I got some thoughts on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 That's a phonetically awkward last sentence.... Anyway, it's definitely a risk because it makes him a more presentable target. The mobility and counter punch seem cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I was bad and talking to my son while typing. Bad combo. Rereading it now I realize I was in the middle of two thoughts and lost track where I was. But I do see him becoming a traget for warmachines.

HeroZero Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Depends? Are you looking for absolute best competitive choice? If so, avoid the chariot BSB (excluding WOC) If you are playing casual, go for it. Remember he can very quickly get left.behind due to no marching or eating a cannon ball . CoC BSB I'd dare say is more of a only for funsies choice due to stupidity and lack of march in am other wise fast force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroZero Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Having played 9.6 trillion combos with TK I assure you they can't make that work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Bungalow Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think its awesome concept. Very cinematic. But tricky since chariots tend not to move in unison with much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 While I love the idea of a BSB, or any character for that matter, on a chariot. I don't think it's worth the risk. No marching, war machine heaven, and all your opponent hopes to do is shoot the chariot from under him. At that point, the character is usually out of position, or you have been slowing playing for the BSB re-roll. If you do want to run a character on a chariot, I would just suggest a master and not your bsb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxer Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Ill run an orc big boss in a chariot at times and with marginal success. I think bsbs are better suited in a large block of troops with the same troop type and a champion to get all the benefits of LOS and a challenger to save their ass for a round. BSBs are just so important in this game that you are just asking for attention when you put one in the open like that. I agree with MN that a simple master with a cool magic weapon or something would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 That's what I was thinking. I love the idea of a BSB chariot but it will mlst likely just get poped turn one or two. :( Just trying to get more use out of my Chariots which I don't use enough. Thanks everyone.

HeroZero Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Chariots are the ultimate in protection for small infantry units in an infantry MSU list. They are high risk, high reward unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Murphy, I'd have to know what other units you are taking in your MSU. Knowing that might help in suggestions for your bsb option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Chariots are the ultimate in protection for small infantry units in an infantry MSU list. They are high risk, high reward unit. Yep, ran one in in my first MSU list last week but my infantry and chariot didn't really get much combat. My opponent didn't fall flr my pincer move but his units couldn't weather my range attacks so my Kharibdyss saw the most CC. But I want to get two chariots on the field sometime soon becuase their support charges turns the CR into my favor for the first round and their stats are fantastic. But need to run them close to the BSB for the rerolls to their stupidity rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Murphy, I'd have to know what other units you are taking in your MSU. Knowing that might help in suggestions for your bsb option.Right now it is BG, Dark Riders, Dark Shards, Warlocks, Kharibdyss, chariot and RBT. Also a Darkstar lvl 4. As points build to 2000 I would like 2 chariots, Warlocks, Kharibdyss (So far my games with him have been good but I have not had many of them.) the other units can be switched in and out for different strategies. I have thought of running a CoK unit with a Character in it. (BSB or General.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnerson Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I might consider a Goblin BSB in a Chariot unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
