Goatboy right here to take a look at the brand new 40K Leagues of Votann particular character – Berehk Stornbröw – a really indignant little Zerker. Is he price your time on the tabletop?
There appears to be a pleasant little replace coming to a couple armies this week. I’ve already talked concerning the wonderful T’au duo and this time I need to have a look at the brand new Leagues of Votann particular character – Berehk Stornbröw – a really indignant little Zerker. We don’t know the factors but so whereas his guidelines appear alright if he finally ends up being too costly this little man will simply need to wander the wastelands a bit extra.
Berehk Stornbröw – The Fundamentals
Let’s begin with the good things about this man. Cthonian Beserks wanted a pacesetter possibility for his or her military and at last we bought one – who finally ends up being an Epic hero. I sorta want we had the Epic Hero possibility and an everyday chief possibility however that’s simply me being nitpicky. He’s a reasonably highly effective little dude that amplifies the Beserks with a robust potential of granting Sustained Hits 1 to any unit he’s in. This implies if he’s by himself he has Sustained Hits and if he’s telling a bunch of his shirtless associates in addition they get Sustained Hits. I really like this because it simply all the time works and I hope we see this exhibiting up for different characters within the coming months and subsequent version.
On prime of this he additionally has the power to offer out a free Heroic Intervention which could be very helpful. The best way that is worded you possibly can do 2 now and in a military of Beserks just like the Delve Assault Shift detachment this might result in some imply “counter” offensive on the enemy. I believe each of those talents stack as much as a pleasant little fight hero however we’re lacking the one additional highly effective factor.
Berehk Packs a Punch!
This man has a flat 4 injury assault. That is fairly insane as that could be a ton of injury to throw out. He even has a good set of Additional assaults as properly which let this man throw out a pleasant bit of injury. His massive hammer strike has Anti-Car/Monster 3+ so something he will get his mitts on will take some huge injury. The one actual draw back in all of that is the AP is -2 which I really feel is a bit low. We now have seen how AP actually solely issues when you can throw out a crap ton of -1 hits or get excessive sufficient to throw the enemy on their invulnerable save or a 6+.
Oh he additionally has a flat injury 2 sweep assault that appears good as properly. The Hearthband Detachment has a stratagem to get a +1 injury to an assault versus a Monster or Car so seeing this man go ham with flat injury 5 into one thing appears fairly gnarly. He additionally has a 4+ FNP which is one thing to fret about, a 5+ invulnerable save, and a pleasant pile of 5 wounds. This could let this man be annoying to chew through as everyone knows how annoying a 4+ FNP is.
The Verdict
General I believe if this man is available in low cost he’ll present up as a pleasant little mini missile to spice up up your Beserks or on the very least be a bizarre little risk hiding in a constructing. It’s important to respect the flat 4 injury which may simply “wreck” one thing that fails a pile of saves. Nearly all the large monsters have to fret if this man is hiding and able to get a loopy cost off.
