Hellebron - Am I doing it right?

Post by Thebigkahuna »

Hellebron with CoB has 6 attacks (4 base plus 2 from super frenzy). Because she has paired weapons this goes up to 7. Roll for Rune of Khaine (+D3 Attacks) and she gets 8-10 attacks. Is this correct?

Absolutely.

Keep in mind she only gets the bonus for two weapons because they are a "Paired Weapon". Non-magical two hand weapons don't grant the extra attack while mounted.

That said, Hellebron on a cauldron is a fluffy but rather poor choice.

Poor in the sense that she is cannon fodder on the CoB?

Exactly. Only 5++ and no other protection, coupled with a really large base of the CoB, make her a prime target.

Of course if you're not facing cannons it's a non-issue.

Hellebron is best off the Cauldron (with an OTS, GS Assassin helper if you can afford).

even if there are no cannons around. chances are that you will recieve counter attacks if a big enough blob of meat gets slammed into the unit and she is then looking at a potential 10+ attacks in return with only a 6+/5++
