qwe501:
Well simple quistion - what is the best gear i can give my Overlord on foot ?
Grimbold Blackhammer:
That depends on what role is there to fill. What do you want him to do?
qwe501:
Kill them all and win the game :cheers - what else ?
He will be in a unit of Infernal Warriors - (i will newer play with the elites)
Så let us say he is in a unit of -
20+ x Infernal Warriors with shields, full command and war banner.
Here i the warriors provide static bonus and “try not to die” Overlord should have high strengh against “big” and armour.
So gear could be
Overlord @ 220p 2+/4+ S6ap1
Fleshrender, Dragon Mantle, Sprout of Rebirth.
Overlord @ 243 1+/4+ S5 /S8 one turn
Infernal weapon, shield, Potion of Strength, Dragon Mantle, Sprout of Rebirth.
Overlord @ 223 1+rr S6
Ogre sword, shield, Dragon Mantle, Dusk stone.
If warriors have great weapons they can fight back but also die more easy. But because warriors also fight Overlord is a bit more free for mabye a more special role.
20+ x Infernal Warriors with great weapons , full command and war banner.
Overlord @ 218
Obsidiant sword, Dragon mantle, Dusk stone, shield.
But what is the best ???
Proposals are very welcome

I like re-rolls for armor saves,
I also really LIKE high strength attacks, especially if your Overlord is going to be in a unit of plain jane vanilla HW/SH warriors. He probably needs a magic weapon for the ST, in case he could possibly hit first or has to hit something that requires magic to wound it. Toughness 5 is our friend, awesome stuff, but there is so much out here that can wound him even still.
I like your last option listed above most of all.
One thing I liked from the old 8th edition rules was the shield where you discounted the first hit on a 2+. Don’t we have something similar, is it the “new” Lucky Shield? Anything to keep him alive dishing out attacks!
Grimbold Blackhammer:
When we had access to the Path of Wilderness, this was my build. Now that we can’t boost his strength, not sure how viable it is.
Infernal Armor
Shield
Blade of Strife - 45 Points
Dragon Mantle - 25 Points
Sprout of Rebirth - 50 Points
Dragonfire Gem - 5 Points
1+/4++ save (1+/2++ vs flaming)
7 ST4 (ST5 on the charge) attacks

sprout of rebirth and fire gemstone are both Talismans. dragon helm would be the substitute. T
Then it is 2+/4+ (2+/2+ against fire), 60 Points for protection.
Blade of strife 45.gauntlets of madzab 10. 55 for offense.
115 pts altogether. (7 attacks S5 hatred).
