Lokhir fellheart in 8th
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:22 pm
I cant help think that the hero who most players thought to expensive in the 7th edition perhaps has gotten a boost..
I haven't read in the new rulebook so most of my knowledge i have from reading in this forum, and what i see is that with the new horde rule i think it would be likely that nearly every 2000+ pt army has at least one horde unit.. And i read through the D.R.A.I.C.H about him (http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?p=780996#780996) and find that most of it still applies with the fact that most armies have one or more unit with 3+ ranks giving lokhir 7+ WS6 S4 attacks or with frenzy corsairs 8+ attacks.. or 7+ with AP..
Not taking a COB with KB opportunities in to action..
The question is he worth it.. A normal master would only come up on 142 points.. over 100 pt less than Lokhir..
And if you compare the 2 of them
Lokhir has terror causing the master not
Lokhir has generation and also can the master (AoES)
Lokhir has 4+/3+ AS a Master can easily get the same and with a mount + shield (one less attack) he gets on 2+/1+ or even lower with CO.
Lokhir rerolls failed rolls to wound and also can the master (Heartseeker)
They both have M5 but master opportunity to get either DS og CO making the master more mobile.
The master can get the same forces as Lokhir but have to choose which they would prefere..
and although he seems a bit expensive if jou should make the master with same qualities as lokhir it would be nearly the same price (not taking the max of 50 pt magic) but still not with daring leap and merciless slaver..
All of this makes me think and wonder aint it time for Lokhir to really come in battle?
