Hello everyone. I'll cut straight to the chase. I was rethinking my list, I once again stumbled up on our weird sword...
For quite sometime I tried to justify taking it in all-comers type of lists. This time I've decided to make a complete rundown of targets that the blade WILL help against and the target we NEED help against. Also situations where its blunt useless or indifferent.
***NOTE that all this goes to Scar-vet ONLY and most likely BSB in my case, Oldblood obviously will not take it... Neither will skink chief ^_^***
***Second NOTE, you can take other equipment like Bane head on Ench shield with which can prove fun on its own ; ) Yeah we get no ward >_>, But still bane head is nice***
So this is a summary ->
----------------------------------------------------------------------->
Daemons ->
DuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuH ^_^, Next!
Brets ->
- All knights (and Hypogryphs/Pegasus they ride)
- All Damsels
- Pilgrims
- Prayer Icon. Grants Normal blessing to any unit that character is in. My guess that INCLUDES peasants! (Most likely does!)
- Virtue of purity gives 5+ blessing to one dude
- Grail shield 4+ Blessing
- Token of Damsel 2+ Vs first wound (doubt u'll ever see one lol)
- Insignia of Quest 3+Ward "emergency(when at 1 wound)" save
Wood Elves ->
- General "mundane Ward"
- Talismanic Tattoos 6+ Ward on Dancers and Riders
- Shadow Coil Dance gives 4+ Ward (good way to surprise the opponent lol)
- Railarian's Mantle 4+ward with in 6'' of woods
- Armor of Fey. 4+ward Vs Magical attacks (that would be just fun to deny XD)
- The Rhymer's Harp 5+ Perma Ward to WHOLE unit. Cost lot so its very improbable to show up.
- Stone of Crytal Mere 3+ Ward to a guy and w/e he is riding but only 'Till fails.
- Stone of Rebirth, weird item looks like Insigma of Quest (emergency ward) but 2+ and says one use only hmmm... Well w/e it is its gone with our blade ^_^
High Elves ->
- Special Char wards ... I am not gonna list them for any army, but most have some, w/e.
- Phoenix Guard perma 4+ Ward
- 5+ ward that is Granted by a SPELL. Which isn't remains in play. Which also mean that you can see it casted on IF with Teclis. So its nice to know that character wouldn't care.
- Armor of Protection gives 4+ Perma ward and CAN be used by a hero.
- Temakador's Gauntless 5+ Ward Vs S4+
- Drake Shield 6+Ward...

- Golden Eye of Rah-Nutt 5+ward for chariot
Scaven ->

Ogres ->

VCs ->

Dwarfs ->
- Rune of Iron 6/5+ Ward
- Rune of fate gives 2+ Ward Vs first wound
- Rune of Spite 4+Ward
- Rune of guarding 5+ Ward (for BSB)
----------------------------------------------------------------------->
