WHFB - 7th Combat resolution.

[Morr]

Im new so i hope this is in the right place.

My question is this, How much combat resolution would a Vampiric standard bearer with walking death and war banner gain? And what if he was in a unit of skeletons who have a war banner? ( not taking into account ranks or out numbering etc).

Welcome, you posted in the right place

How much combat resolution would a Vampiric standard bearer with walking death and war banner gain?

+2 CR.

And what if he was in a unit of skeletons who have a war banner? ( not taking into account ranks or out numbering etc).

Err take into account that the warbanner can only be taken once. So it would still be +2 if it's on the Skeleton standard and as well as on the vampire.


I hope that clears things up.

I was thinking +1 for carrying the standard, +1 war banners effect, +1 walking death.so +3 or is that wrong.

I thought common magic items could be taken multiple times in an army?

It is indeed +3. (BSB, Walking Death, War Banner)

I guess the name "common" magic items is a bit of a misnomer, since they're not that common. In other words, aside from scrolls/power stones, you're still only allowed one of each common magic item per army.

One thing you can do, however, is throw that Vampire BSB in a unit of 25 skellies with the Banner of the Endless Nightmare. Doing the math: +3 from BSB Vamp, +4 ranks, +1 normal Standard, with a possible +1 for outnumber = 8-9 Static Combat Resolution on a skeleton block.

The only "problem" with this is you're putting all your CR eggs in one basket (BSB, War Banner, Banner of the Endless Nightmare).

Thanks for clearing that up.

Yep, I do that alot with my Bretonnians as well (there's a virtue that is like Walking Death). It's fun to have a static CR of 7+...

 

[Master Vampire]

Yep my bad the standard gives a +1 to CR too, so it's +3.
