![]() He is then Toughness 5 with a +1 armour save and an awesome 3+ ward save, featuring an awesome 7 Wounds and an immunity to Killing Blow. A high Initiative 7 denies Always Strikes First re-rolls to most enemies, with Weapon Skill 4 and lower units hitting Archaon on 6s and anything else hitting him on 5s. Of course, the main selling point of the new Archaon is the fact that he is virtually impossible to kill outside of getting very lucky with Heroic Killing Blow, and being Weapon Skill 9 with a -1 to-hit penalty due to the Mark of Nurgle certainly helps there. On that note, unleashing U'zuhl isn't nearly as advisable as it used to be because Archaon now only gains a mere 3 Attacks and still hits either himself or nearby friendly models on to-hit rolls of a 1 just stick with the 9 base he already has and make do with those unless you feel you absolutely must have the bonus attacks. Add in a Strength 5 Stomp due to being a Monstrous Cavalry model and the ultimately ill-advised ability to unleash U'zuhl and you have one heck of a beat-stick that will eat entire units of cavalry and monstrous cavalry in mere moments. ![]() That's what happens when he has a whopping 9 base attacks (or 8 plus Frenzy) due to the Mark of Khorne and his combined profile with Dorghar, each of which are resolved at Weapon Skill 9, Initiative 7, Strength 5 and ignoring armour saves to top it off. Ultimately though, the Everchosen will slaughter most enemy characters with impunity and do so contemptuously warriors such as Neferata, Vampire "Blender" Lords, Saurus Old Bloods, Tyrion, Hellebron and many more stand no chance against the Everchosen and will struggle even to hurt him. Unfortunately, one must keep in mind that he will still struggle to deal with high Toughness monsters such as Warsphinxes given his mediocre Strength value unless you can buff his melee attacks or debuff the enemy, something Archaon himself is capable of through magic. Still, given how tight those two combats are and that Archaon is easily the most durable of the trio while also doubling as a very powerful wizard - something Karl Franz fails to provide - that can hide in units, I think it is safe to say Archaon's End Times profile is worthy of his title. It's a very tight affair but one that serves to highlight how insanely tanky Archaon, especially as even the insanely strong Malekith takes roughly four rounds to do Archaon in while conversely the Everchosen needs five rounds to destroy the Eternity King. Having done the numbers, Karl Franz kills Archaon in roughly four or five rounds of combat, while Archaon takes closer to six or seven to slay his nemesis. Chaos players have been demanding that Archaon be given a profile fitting of his role as the Herald of the Apocalypse and Games Workshop has most certainly answered, though players hoping for a character that can stand up to Malekith the Eternity King or even Karl Franz Ascendant in a one-on-one clash shouldn't be too disappointed. I think that could make for a pretty good final book.Archaon Everchosen - The Lord of the End Times has arrived, and boy is he a monster (not literally, mind) on the field of battle. Also there's just so many of them, and that's a lot of mouths to feed.įor WAR I like the idea of some elf drawing the sword of khaine and uniting the elven factions in a bloody bid for survival, empowered and doomed by the bloody-handed elven god of war himself. Just the kind of scheming, kick-em-while-they're-down tactics skaven love. it's the weakest link but they've already established themselves as an "end times" force and famine is kind of in their style - it's subversive, divisive and makes for a weakened foe. I'm going to assume we're working with the more modern interpretation of the first horseman as "pestilence" rather than the biblical "conquest" because we've already got the Glottkin and if they don't represent pestilence than the whole theory is shot, heh.įor FAMINE I'd go with the skaven. I'm not entirely sure I buy into the four horsemen theory but it's a fun thought and definitely possible. ![]() Project Pandora - spaceship corridor crawler.Mantic makes high quality plastic, metal and plastic resin models that are incredibly easy to collect, paint and game with.
