Hi,
soon i will go to a tournament with 1k points and high restrictions and so i found i will try to bring up a BSB on a CoC. Never played it.
Now my question is, what does he need?
Maybe the Standard of Slauther, the Armour -1 banner (autohits with S5 and -1 would be nice) or just the warbanner?
Or just leave him with the BSB and give him some magic equipment?
My army will look like this:
Please do not discuss the army, it is just about the BSB (i used the maximum tournament restrictions, there is no pendant, no hydra, etc. allowed)
Master
+ Lance, HA, Shield, SDC
+ CoC
+ BSB, SoS
- - - > 244
Master
+ Lance, HA, Shield, SDC
+ CoC
+ Ring of Hotek
- - - > 209
5 DR, musican
- - - > 92
5 DR
- - - > 85
6 Harpies
- - - > 66
6 Harpies
- - - > 66
CoC
- - - > 100
5 CoK
- - - > 135
= 997
Thanks in advance!

BSB on CoC - What's the best banner for him?

I would take the standard of slaughter: D3+1 SCR is very good for just 35 points and you should break your opponent on the charge anyway because otherwise you're screwed.

If you use a magic banner at all, Standard of Slaughter. I would consider foregoing a magic banner entirely though, and spending some points on decent magic items. Dark Elves have some of the best Hero-level magic weapons in the game, and anything to boost character survivability (especially on a BSB) is usually worth the investment.
Definitly the Standard of Slaughter as your chariot should always be charging. If not then its going to die anyway.
Personally I think you need more troops though for this to be a viable option.
Chariots are good for supplementing ACR but have no SCR. Thus they work well in tandem with blocks of troops especially warriors. Also Chariots are really slow so having three of them in a 'fast' hit and run list would be unwise in my opinion.
Also BSB's primarily allow you to re-roll break tests. however you have few combat units so this will be a bit wasted.
