greatcrusade08 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 which is better? skarbrand has a few bonuses over a generic thrister, like breath of chaos and the extra S and A, but with no wings and more expensive is it worth taking him?

minigun762 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think he's only worth it if you build your army around him, much in the same way as the Fateweaver. The issue is that you are giving a bonus to your opponent as well. The best way to mitigate it is to load up on high I units, so that you're always striking before the opponent. This usually means Slaanesh, which makes for an interesting army composition. If you want to stick with Khorne, then going with Bloodletters, Crushers and Daemon Princes/Soulgrinders is your best bet.

greatcrusade08 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 ive taken the plunge and will definately be buying some khorne daemons, and i wanted to include him if i could. I just wanted to make sure i wasnt wasting time/points/money. Also is there a skarbrand model, or do you have to convert one, as he doesnt have wings and is armed with 2 axes.. can you do this with the thirster box Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194618-skarbrand-or-bloodthirster/#findComment-2315644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archnomad Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Nah you need to convert him. I'd say get the thirster box, tear off the wings, sculpt armour on his shoulders (handily covering the wings), then look about to see if anyone has the shiny new Minotaur box, and steal the 2h axes from there. Just my thoughts ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194618-skarbrand-or-bloodthirster/#findComment-2316089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm just using a Chaos Troll with two axes as my Skarbrand. Works for me... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194618-skarbrand-or-bloodthirster/#findComment-2317265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
