Mine is static. I use the Malus model on Cold One. He has Blade of Rhuin and Crown of Black Iron. For his basic equipment, I give him heavy armour, shield and seadragon cloak. I use him in my knight unit; usually fighting other knights, so that sword of his is priceless. I've never lost a challenge with him yet. Last duel was against a lord of Khorne. Poor bastard ran and was caught. Best combination I've found to date that isn't going to break you!

Moreover, according to my reading of the rules, mounted characters do not benefit from additional handweapons. Like the extra +1 armor save for a hw/shield, the +1A for add'l hw may only be claimed by a model on foot w/out magic weapon or shield.

Anyone disagree?

HI,
Has anyone tried this:
A hereo tooled up with regular equipment on a cok and then give him the black amulet?
DOes it work well?
I am also tring to set up an army that has the faer banner a unit of cok and a character with the terror mask in a dark riders unit.
Has anyone tried using such a combo would love to hear if you have.

I personally don't like the Black Amulet. I think it is overpriced and really not all that hot of an item.

I MIGHT try it with a Noble/Highborn with greatweapon, but that is it.

I think it is quite good but the cost is too much i agree on that.
Lol i remembered in a duell with my noble with Black Amulet and the enemy caused three wounds on me i tought "Now im dead" and all three wounds were saved and rebounded killing the High elf prince.

I understood that... Apologies if my reply didn't show that.

Noble: Heavy Armor, Sea Dragon Cloak, Shield, Blade of Ruin, Cold One

and

Noble: Heavy Armor, Sea Dragon Cloak, Shield, Hydra Blade. (In a unit of Corsairs.)
