MylesTheTroll Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Do the bonus attacks stack after every assault thus attaining more attacks for each model that the model with SotWB kills? Possibly reaching 20+ attacks by games end? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this.

Grey Mage Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 They stack, in a way. Lets say you kill five guys- and thus get five bonus attacks. Then, you kill eight guys... and get eight bonus attacks. You now have eight, but you dont get thirteen. As you gain more your chances of getting even more go up.

I've been watching a lot of BRs, and see a lot of people doing it where they stack more and more each assault phase which seems quite ridiculous. One guy had over 26 even though he never faced a unit that had more than 10 guys....with Ragnar and a unit of 9 GHs.

dswanick Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Two points limit SotWB : 1. The bonus attacks are for models killed in the previous assault phase. Thus if the model isn't in assault for a phase his bouns will drop to zero on his next charge (so it's not just the number of models from the last assult phase in which he killed some models). 2. The bonus is only for models killed by the charcter. So Ragnar wouldn't get any bonus attacks for models killed by an attached pack.

G. A. K. Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 it becomes a little of a disinsentive for your opponent to assault Ragnar in thier turn if you either won the assault and are free to move or for him to bring in another unit to help in an assault which isn't going well. but thats the only way to keep the attacks increaseing. every assault phase needs to be fought in, so two per game turn which gets tough. But some armies can't just leave you there to assault them when you get your turn. One game against DE in particular I played in Ragnar and his grey hunter backup are deep in their deploy zone, I assault some incubi and kill all seven with ragnar to kill the squad. He then brings in wytches tie up the unit but with the extra attacks Ragnar and the squad kill them too. :) G Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244979-saga-of-the-warrior-born/#findComment-2963017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it is kills caused by the character and not wounds, and the opponent allocates his wounds at each initiative step. So don't be surprised if he tries to put as many wounds caused by the IC with WB onto the fewest possible models to limit the number of kills you get to carry forward to the next round.

skoll Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Im my opinion warrior born attacks should remain until next player turn, for it is quiet easy to kill a full unit and have those attacks go to waste as your opponent wont assault you, thats why most of the time i end multi assaulting units, my last apoc game i ended multi-assaulting 2 eldar squads and a marine squad.

The ideal for this Saga is not to place in a fifteen strong BC pack, but run with a small pack and to charge in your turn, not kill them all (but take any wounds on the ablative pack around him), finish them off in the next round and then charge again in your turn :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244979-saga-of-the-warrior-born/#findComment-2963452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
