If equipped with the Black Hammer the Lord and his mount have 8 St6 attacks on a 50mm frontage. That�s pretty good imho. I agree that you can�t charge him into everthing there is on the second turn and hope to win but as you said if he charges something in the flank he is devastating and with 8 S6 attcks he can even afford to charge units without character support and huge combat res in the front.
