The Book of Haduc

Where are you getting +3? I'm not sure the probabilities fall out exactly that way.

I'll give it to you, NamibianScaper, that Haduc is very tricky to use. You should try him as a cleanup figure independent of the Elf Wizards sometime.

You don't give up two turns, 1 & 1/2 at most. Haduc's attack easily rivals those of the other Wizards.

While it's different depending on how many attack dice are being rolled, an automatic shield will have the same average benefit as three extra dice, because on average, three dice=one shield.

I will certainly admit he's tricky, though.

I got a game in last night with an elf army. We played two 700 point games, and in the first one I drafted:

100 Haduc
200 Morsbane
310 Acolarh
460 Ulginesh
540 Emmirroon
620 Raelin
720 2xWarriors of Ashra

Morsbane rolled a natural 19 (a 20 with Haduc) to destroy Charos when he was in the middle of all my wizards with only a few wounds, and then a few rounds later, I rolled a natural 15 (16 with Haduc) to negate Hydra. We called the game shortly thereafter. It was great.

I don't know if this has been said before but I just noticed this would be a pretty cool army:

100 Haduc
220 Venoc Warlord
500 Aubrien Archers x4
500pts/14hex

NecroBlade won a tournament in Louisville with almost the exact same army.

Yeah it seems pretty cool. But you do know that the Aubrien Archers cost about $70 a squad on eBay right?

But fwiw, I'm not sure spending 120 points on Mittens would be worth it though, just to boost Frenzy to 14+ isn't the best use of 120 points. It might be better to take a 5th squad of Archers and Arkmer instead. Both of them still benefit from Haduc's powers, and you get a little more of an endgame figure who fits into the Elven theme.

Edit: Or you can do what NecroBlade did.

Well, at that tourney, he rolled 14s and 15s only about 3 times. I know, I was there. His frenzy dice were just hot.

I played that army in testing, and I think I frenzied about 10 times in two rounds (including multiple 14s and a 15). Two rounds was the entire game, as the Aubriens took everything else out in a wink.

Just ordered this mini and excited to try him out with the elves. I was thinking using him in a non-Ulginesh build would be interesting, partially because I’m a big Sonlen fan, and he gets to benefit twice from the d20 bump.

Something like:
Haduc 100
Sonlen 160
Arkmer 50
For a 310 point core, and you can mix and match some nice additions for 510:
Emiroon+Kyntela 100
Morsbane 100
Warriors of Ashra x2 100
Raelin (RotV) + 3x Reavers 200
