hobgoblinclub Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Is there a way to get +1 to hit on death units? Just looking into buying my first death minis. Thinking about possible combos. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deynon Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 It depends on what units, see Settra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 TK is the way to go for +1 to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 It was for spirit hosts, so they generate mortal wounds on hits of a 5 or more. Anyone other than Settra? I was hoping to leave TK out to be honest. I'm not a huge fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrorPenguin Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Mannfreds command ability gives +1 to hit and to wound, zombies get +1 for every 10 models in the unit, vlozd gives a unit rerolls, I'm sure there's more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobgoblinclub Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hmn. That's a shame. I usually pick units based on how much I like the models. Was hoping I could make a good list from deathrattle stuff plus the spirit hosts. Might have to wait until they get books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not exactly what you want, but the Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon using his command ability on Spirit Hosts has yielded good results for me. Last game I played I ran a squad of 6 spirit hosts and they managed to do a ton of work. I imagine that giving them +1 to hit and using the VLoZD would make them fairly nasty.

It's equivalent to giving them each an extra 4 attacks, so a 2/3 damage buff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hmn. The zombie dragon is pretty cool. I could maybe switch the vampire lord out for a wight model. I'm just trying to avoid vampires. So, is there nothing in death, other than TK that gives a +1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaris Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Settra is what you're looking for, I'm afraid he's the only way to get +1 to hit on Spirit Hosts. I run this, and it's absolutely lethal. If you like the rules, but simply don't want the model in your army, I've seen some awesome conversions involving Arkhan and horses from the Black Knight kit. The Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon is also good. With Settra, each Spirit Host model deals on average 2 mortals wounds per combat phase, while with the Vampire Lord, each Spirit Host deals 1.67 mortal wounds. On top of that, Settra spreads the bonus to all your units within 18" of him, while the Vampire boosts a single unit. I recently saw a Death army with Settra, Spirit Hosts, a Mortis Engine and a Coven Throne place quite high in a tournament, so this works pretty well even if you don't mix in other TK units. Grave Guard benefit greatly from Settra as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobgoblinclub Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 A great answer cheers. Sadly, not the one I was looking for, but really helpful all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
