Celestant651 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 What do you think is the strongest unit?. Celestant on Stardrake? Archaon? Nagash? Screaming Bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkiham Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Most of these kill most of these on the charge. But hard to compare tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeGrunt Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Mighty Lord of Khorne. Can one-bang anything in the game on a 5+ if you're lucky. Failing that, Settra, for single-handedly making Deathrattle viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Me, for I am Titan sized in comparison to the plastic models! In all seriousness, I'd probably agree with Mighty Lord of Khorne - Skarbrand is a good punt tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking potential one-hit-kills, I think Arkhan with Curse of Years deserves a mention — he can potentially kill any unit (not just model) in the game, from 24" away. Admittedly, the odds of him doing that are quite slim… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelmaster Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Slightly less, I think. I get 14.4%, a 1 in 6 would be 16.7%. Someone else could check my maths. Of course, that only focuses on the odds of getting an auto-kill, if your target has less than 51 wounds there's still a chance to wipe without getting that far.

Probably Archaon (with Tzeentch allegiance). I assume you mean with no summoning, otherwise I think it's between Nagash and a Lord of Change, depending on who gets first turn and how big the table is (and whether anyone really has a hundred-odd Lords of Change to chain summon).

KHHaunts Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think you might need to narrow the field a little bit. Perhaps a few choice scenarios. How about each unit starting at 6 inches away with a 50/50 chance of who starts first with no outside interference. Because ive seen Tyrion take down Nagash in this scenario which proberbly wouldnt hav ehappened at range. So really depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning to break this forum, or start a riot, better yet go to a comic store and ask "who is the best super hero" Joking a side it is hard to tell who is the strongest as the game is complex and you can make lots of combos and interactions with units.

Yeah, I would agree that there are so many potential interactions between different heroes and performance in different scenarios I don't know that a definitive answer is possible. For example, a Lord-Celestant on foot is... ok. But run him with a unit of Retributors and suddenly he is a massively important part of how strong the Retributors are. Similarly Nagash in true open play is all but unstoppable with his summoning skills, but in matched play is ok. Still, I think that if we really assess our feelings and consider all things it is clear that there is one character who is clearly the most useful in the most situations. KRAGGI!

ledha Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 A lord veritant with the right item buffed by a lord celestant (as a general) and the good prayer can reach 5 (6 against chaos) attacks 2+/3+/-1/2 with each 5 and 6 to hit making another attack for 120 pts hell yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He costs 80 points and buffs the bravery of other Khorne mortals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Gordrakk is the king of damage, he narrowly beats out a Stonelord (with Battle Brew) on the charge vs a 4+ save. If he buffs himself with the Command Ability or is against any kind of hero (let alone a Wizard), then his damage is huge. However, his base size and 700 point cost and the loss of the best Battalions for using him with make him pretty dubious in matched play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
