It is but it's only problem is it's high cost so you can't really buy much protection for your dreadlord. BTW it's not new we have it in the current book. A better option IMO is Caledor's Bane, Reverse Ward Save Pendant, AoES on dragon or if that's illegal then mundane lance and same protetcion stuff on dragon. That is only slightly outclassed by the Exec Axe but the lord has much more protection for when it goes wrong...

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I should have written "the Hangman's Axe and its new ability to do D3 damage". Always wounding on 2+ and negating most AS is all nice and peachy, but the D3 is the icing on the cake for me. !smile! And of course, you are right the DL will drop over dead if anybody so much as sneezes at him, but I consider this more a feature than a bug; the magic items are incedible, but there are always tough choices to make as there is so much goodness that I'll never be able to have all the shiny thingies I want to take!
Edited to add a questions for those who have read the book: What effect does the Dragon's Egg breath weapon have?

I'll have to try out the Exec Axe for some fun as soon as we get the book... So many things I have to trial... I'm like a kid in a gigantic candy store and able to eat whatever I want...
@Artein
It isn't currently so I wouldn't think it is for 7th Ed. unless someone can prove me wrong?

Dreadlord on Dragon could go through two Bloodthirsters/Treemen/HE Dragons/Steamtanks in one combat phase ...
Executioners axe is "model on foot only"
So the best protection for highborn with axe is blood armour. Unfortunately.
I very like highborn on foot option, so pendant of khaeleth will go to bsb on CO. With enchanted shield we've got 0+ AS - wonderful model for catching and holding treemans, dragons or daemons.

Aren't SDC rumored to halve the STR of incoming shooting attacks in which case I pretty much doubt it will continue to provide the fore-mentioned AS bonus. However STR/2 seems rather powerful, just imagine a cannon ball hit of STR 5 with only -2 penalty to Armor Save... It's so good that I doubt it will turn out to be true.
Whysmerhill, you hit it. However characters will often be inside a unit or on monstrous mount which will cause at least 2/3 of the hits to be resolved against other models and STR1 still means a 1/6 WS effectively. And that spell has low casting value which means it won't be so hard to dispell either. With Null Shards being around...

Won't happen. Cannon balls always ignore armor, no matter their strength. And I think (not sure though) that this item which halves the strength of shooting attacks is a magical item, not the usual SDC.
HUZZAH!
When I think of something witty, I shall put it here.

Anyone knows about Death Hag's WS and BS?
Can BSB have any magic item (or gift of Khaine if Death Hag)?
"talisman Null Shard (15pts) Gives the bearer Magic Resistance 1. Multiple Null Shards can be bought and the effect stacks. " can they be bought for different characters?
Any shield option for BG?
Thanks.

I don't know if this is a bit off-topic, but it's quite good for our eyes

Thanks for the CT and null shard,
The others questions was :
-can BSB take a shield ?
-If the BSB is the D Hag can she take magic banner as she can't take any magic item except from Khaine's gift (and banners are magic items) ?
if yes
Can she take a magic banner and gift as gift aren't magic object ?
Beside:
-What about mount option for the D Hag, nothing except cauldron ?
What is the US of the cauldron ?
-Can we have the Master price ?
-Do the caster and the unit has to be in the range of the ring of hotek to protect a unit or only the unit in the range is enough
Thanks by advance.
The same as the Black Dragon's breath attack would be the logical answer
I do agree but could be the wearer strength ...etc...sometimes answers are really stranges
