[Archive] Blunderbuss or Fireglaive?

gIL^:

+ the razer standard in combat they get a -3 armour save, alone they beat down 2 chariots, A bloodcrusher bus with a tooled up lord.

-3 Armour Save?
How?


Marduk
str 5 -2 Armour save + Banner gives you an extra -1. in combat.

correct me if im wrong XD

Da Crusha:

-3 Armour Save?
How?

Marduk
I believe that to be incorrect.  Blunderbuss shots are already armour piercing so the Razor Standard would only effect the close combat attacks.

Gil is talking about fireglaives in close combat.

Singleton Mosby:

Gave Fireglaives a shot yesterday flanking my 23 Blunderbusses with 2x10 Fireglaives. I have to say I think they are too expensive and not as effective as the Blunderbusses. Shooting they hit at 5s or 6s and that makes them just not score more then 2 or 3 wounds a turn.

Tomorrow I will use a flank force of 10 fireglaives for a second run. I did convert and paint the models so it would be a waist not to use them now ;).

See blunderbusses are more effective in msu i agree but Fireglavies have their place and i firmly believe they should be the hammer to your other IG anvil.

They really do smash things, This might be expensive but i havn't lost them yet after 5 games ( 4 wins ) For the points you buy a scary gunline and a tin can opening hammer that smashes knights and foottroops alike.
If you think of it that way is it really that bad? Vanilla dwarfs wish they had this much POWER!

I say go big or go home when it comes to chaos dwarfs. Non of this MSU Elf stuff :hat off
