hey guys this is a charecter lord that i have built that hasnt been beaten yet. Enjoy :)

Vampire lord
talisman of preservation
sword of striking
glittering scales
the other tricksters shard
red fury
dread knight
quickblood

tell us what you think but that guy is very very powerfull
 
I wouldn't call it a character killer, ok you hit on 2's which is pretty boss, but your only S5 and they still get armour saves, Chaos Lord would take that on the chin and say "and?" TBH an Empire hero could survive if his save is high enough, (1+can be done without any magic items at all). If he was a higher Strength then you be laughing, (7 or 8) or ignored armour saves even better.

While the hitting on 2's, re-rolling thanks to Quickblood) is a awesome way to kill troops, (2's to hit 2's to wound, probs no save will be 8-10 guys dead after Red Fury), the Sword of Anti Heros might be a better buy if you could fit it in, at least you have 3's re-rollable with 6 attacks and S6, (so wounding on 2's) that'd be 3 or 4 wounds on most characters, enough to nail them outright.

But very cool ideas and another Lord build we've not seen yet.
 
you need to give him the sword of bloodshed to combo with red fury. that gives 8 ws9 attacks at str 5, with more attacks coming back around from red fury.

Also Nightshroud is a great item to take for anti ASF. It stacks with heavy armor giving +1 to your armor save. combine that with enchanted shield and heavy armmor you are at a 2+ save, always strikes first, models in base contact are always strikes last and are initiative 1. Meaning you woooop up on high elves, and anyone with ASF. Honestly, unless your opponent has a 2+ armor save with reroll and a 4+ ward, you should be able to kill them in 1 round of attacks + overkill :tongue:

Hope you find this helpful or inspiring.
 
@drmooreflava: You can't have enchanted shield and nightshroud as they are both magic armor. Please see pg 172 BRB under "Balance of Power". IMHO a ward save is better than a couple armor points in what Slayer is trying to do.

@Slayer: I do like your build, rerolling 2+ to hit and many opponents would need 6+ to hit you back. However I do agree with everything Keeper said, just be careful with Deamons, WoC, dwarfs and empire. Also be warned that a High Elf lord has a good chance of killing you at the same time, but will easily die as well.

As far as magic items go, you have a very solid build. I also would go with a ward and other tricksters shard, and the left over points you did the best I can see. However as most lords have WS 5 or better, they will be hitting you on 5+ anyway so Dreadknight wont help as much. Might consider dropping it for Beguile. Another thought is to bring our new Fear combo and try to make opponent WS1. I'm not saying my suggestions are better, just other options to consider.

Another build:
Strigoi, Red Fury, Aura of dark majesty, beguile, Dreadknight, Giant Blade, Other tricksters, Dragonbane gem

Keep a Mortis Engine near by for 4+ regen, gem keeps you safe from fire attacks. At I8 you are likely to strike first anyway, reroll attacks (inf hate), have some defense and have 5 S8 attacks w/ red fury. If you need ASF, bring the corpse cart up. With -5 to armor save and rerolling wards, even chaos lords will thing twice about charging a general in.

Estimated math on above build: Around 5 (+/- 2) unsaved wounds considering 4+ ward. If requested I'll get an exact number.

Again, these are just my own thoughts. If I was fighting your lord, I would be very careful.
 
As for a character killer :

- Barded steed, HA, Shield
- Red Fury & Quickblood
- Orge Blade, Nightshroud, The other's trickster's shard ( anything in btb must re roll succesfull ward saves ) Luckstone ( 5 points left, one re roll is huge when combined with the nightshroud )

This should slay most enemy characters in one, or two turns. With the Shard you even have a chance of killing the pendant of kaleth.

The Shard will also prove itself against the many 6+ parry saves out there, one sccesfull parry save in the first round of attacks equals two wounds when you take in account Red Fury.
 
yh i havent been up against WoC yet but against all other armies it works pretty well (as i do play alot of games)Chaos Lord however would need 5s to hit so he wouldnt be able to dish out alot of damage. i have nailed things like Ogre Tyrants and High elf princes ( there was a guy with 2+ armour and 4+ ward and he could re roll armour saves) he got killed aswell, giving me +1 to hit is great help, meaning that youll be hitting most of the time, and if wounding really bothers that much then yes the magic item could be swapped for something else, i havent really done it myself but yh it can be done. another reason why my lord doesnt have high attack is becasue he is in a unit of 40 grave guard with great weapons so if theres anything really really scary then they can deal with it XD i know its going a bit of topic but yh, atm im actually running a balanced lord :) And when it comes to vampires i like having them on foot so i couldnt take my one on a steed of any sort but yh thats a brilliant idea
 
If you want a real Elite and Heavy/Character murderer, take
Lord
Red Fury
Quickblood
Obsidian Blade
Talisman of Preservation
Heavy Armor

=D
 
Just curious as to what level caster people are making their Killy Lords? L1 like most to keep them cheaper cause you have a L4 master necro? Just make sure that when you want to kill something your not casting with him. One Sivejir's hex scroll and your "Killy" Lord is now a toad on a 2+....:O Could lead to an embarrassing moment.....:'(
 
Yeah you guys want Dreadknight in there to kill Lords.
There's a big difference between hitting WS8 on 3s and 4s.
 
i know this is probably really bad but my lord is also my caster, so far hasnt been turned into anything...but who knows whats around the corner XD i would take master necromancer but i dont like the idea of them, im just a vampire kinda guy
 
My favorite character killer build is

Vampire Lord
-Quickblood
-Beguile
-Aura of dark Majesty
-Fear Incarnate
-Dread Knight
-Sword of Anti-heroes
-Armour of Destiny
-Potion of Strenght
-Shield

Seems pretty solid with at least six S6 (S9 one round) attacks with a good chance of re-rolling to-hit rolls and higher WS. Also beguile works at -4 Ld with the aura so the 4+/4++ Sv should be enough if your opponent gets the chance to strike back. Expensive but gets the job done.
