Witch elves + death hag + hellebron

Post by Eldarwonderland »

Am I right in my conclusion below please?

WE have 1 attack boosted to 2 by frenzy
Attached death hag with witchbrew gives WE another extra attack and gets 3+1 frenzy +1 witchbrew of her own.
Hellebron joins with her witchbrew so WE get yet another attack as does hag.
Hellebron has 4 +1 frenzy +1 witchbrew +1 paired weapons +1 for hag witchbrew

So witch elves end up with 4 attacks each (front rank only sadly)
Hag has 6 attacks.
Hellebron has 8 attacks at str 10.

Nope.

Witch Elves have 1 attack plus 1 for extra hand weapon plus 1 for frenzy = 3 attacks base.

Witchbrew adds +1 = 4 attacks

Can't multiply Witchbrews or combine with bound spell Fury of Khaine from the Cauldron.

So
witches have 1+1hw+1f+1brew=4
D hag gets 3+1hw+1f+1brew=6
Hellebron gets 4+1paired+1f+1brew=7

So many addons!

Actually since Hellebron has all Gifts of Khaine this means she has the Rune of Khaine giving her +D3 attacks.
so that means that she has 8-10 S10 Rerolling to hit, rerolling to wound attacks :twisted:

Unless you mount your Death Hag on the Cauldron of Blood in which case she loses the additional head weapon attack for being mounted.

Considering Hellebron comes with witchbrew of her own, there's not use for another one on the Death Hag.

Keep a life wizard nearby to heal her... she has no protection at all.

^^This. Only way she has protection is in a cauldron unit where she gets the 5+ ward. Otherwise, all it takes is a decent character directing attacks against her and she goes down very, very easily.
"The dark elves have everything cool. They are pirate blood cultist ninjas riding dinosaurs and flinging magic. They're metal. They're the most metal race out there, rivaled only by Warriors of Chaos. They bring a cauldron of boiling blood onto the battlefield. You don't get much more metal than that." -- Mostlyharmless on Warseer

Played her Once. (I usualy dont play special charakters) But she really impressed me.
This Beast just killed a Steamtank in one turn. (Yeah luck like hell but still) The face of my opponent was priceless :)

Doesn't even take a character. Rank & File will do her just fine, given the opportunity. That's why (when I do use her) she goes in the corner of a 12-wide unit. Strictly limits the attacks back that CAN come her way.
