I'd always used the hydra banner before and really enjoyed seeing it tear through just about everything... everything except my cousins IC knights, that was the main reason I took the blade of ruin, my COK never kill enough of his knights to win the combat without a character with a no as weapon. Th...

This is the list i've been trying out lately. Don't remember all the point values but it adds up to 2000. Characters: High Sorc, lvl4 tome of furion, crown of black iron Sorceress, lvl2 darkstar cloak, dispel scroll Noble, Cold one, hvy armor, SDC, shield, blade of ruin Core 20 warriors, shield, fc ...

I think 2 points may be a bit much, then we would only cost one more point than empire spears, and although they may have detachments we do have M,WS,I and leadership over them.


If we made a rule like that langman then I think hvy armor for spearmen only would be good.

I really like your ideas scatha, that is exactly how I see slaves being used, not as combat troops but as a screen that the dark elves run right over once they dont need the protection anymore.

I agree that giving them more offensive abilities would make corsairs the useless option. If you give spearmen fight in two ranks on the charge and AP they are a better offensive unit than corsairs which is wrong.

How bout to keep people from abusing hydra banner with the executioners we just put in a line in the rule that says "The relentless assault rule does not apply to any additional attacks the executioners receive through magical means." This would prevent the hydra banner from adding to many attacks a...

@ gil-Galad: Yes making it an option would be a good idea, say 0-1 for 3 more points executioners get hvy armor and the strike back rule. @ Draichlord: Yes I have tried 5+ killing blow and str 4, and found that they both worked well against normal troops, but the 5+ killing blow was to much because ...

I am in complete agreement that executioners need something to make them the shock troopers they deserve to be, but like many i'm not sure just what to give them to do that. Heavy armor is a start and I think they should definately get that, 5+ killing blow is way to good, no rank and file troop sho...
