Re: The Book of Death Chasers of Thesk
Wish I had a fourth squad of chasers! But it speaks to the efficiency of the army's offense that, in many matches, one of the ogres never even comes out of the start zone.
Also, unless you're up against a horde of ranged squads (or knights), two ogres can be pretty intimidating. WORST. PALADIN. EVER. Overall Tourney Record: ....I don't even remember anymore! |

Re: The Book of Death Chasers of Thesk
We've played a few games recently here for some Gencon practice and its one army I seriously am fearing right now. The army we played around with though was:
OP - 100 MBS - 150 Marcu - 170 DCx6 - 500 We had tried it once with Nerak but just didnt feel like the 1 extra defense was worth it. MBS felt much better with his range option. Battle Rush almost felt like cheating with how many Death Chasers we were running. Just the one OP was more than enough for us so that we could squeeze in more Chasers. It really is a brutal army but they die very quickly as well. The army is all about hitting fast and hard. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. |

Re: The Book of Death Chasers of Thesk
My favorite 500 point DC army is still
DCs x4 Warhulk Nerak Bacon 500/17 The key is aggression, aggression, aggression! Raelin gets a couple OMs here and there to improve her positoning, but generally everything goes on the DCs. I've found that Nerak's bump for them from 2 to 3 Defense is huge, and you can get them to 5+ when the auras are doubled up, and if you can grab height or Gerda. I love the Warhulk as their Taskmaster-with 8 life he has amazing survivability, and a 50% chance to throw 5 attack dice at everyone adjacent to a double-hex figure is just awesome (just be careful about where your figures are!) |

Except that they don't. The DCoT are hunters and Ornaks' Aura only effects Orc Warriors. |

Re: The Book of Death Chasers of Thesk
I wish Gurei-oni was WILD so he bonded with the Death Chasers along with the other Ogres, as he looks more like the Lord of The Rings Ogre that was a workhorse for the Orcs. Oh wait, he does bond if you play one of my Competitive Unit Alters

Re: The Book of Death Chasers of Thesk
these guys go well with nerak and me-burq-sa.
MBS 50 nerak 100 DCoT x4 320 raelin (rotv) 400 krav maga agents 500 i think this could do well against some armies, but i doubt it could win much games, especially against someone like SotM drake. |

Re: The Book of Death Chasers of Thesk
That's a very solid build - Raelin/Krav to deal with massed common squads and to draw your opponent in, Nerak/Raelin to give those Death Chasers a bit of toughness, and plenty of hitting power. Mattsertruckrally said he was considering playing it at the 2011 Gencon main event, although he ended up playing knights instead.
SotM Drake is not a huge problem for that army - 3 attack of 4 will bring him down soon enough, and he can only kill one figure each order marker. |

Re: The Book of Death Chasers of Thesk
Question, since these guys are called orcs with an s as opposed to singular orc, do they still bond with characters like grimnak and tornak? Or do we have to go by the letter of the law and say that because they have an s in there name they are a different species?
Thanks |
