you are trying to give him a good save while have S6 right?Champion of Slaanesh said:
Why don't you give him a great weapon, Rune of Stone and a RoResistance ? he'll be equally strong, but much tougher and cheaper too.

Thane alrick
great wepon
rune of swiftness
master rune of kragg the grim
rune of cleaving
against lower strength opponents ill switch rune of swiftness with rune of furry for more attacks.And ill probally put him with a unit of hammerers instead.Do you think i strength or a good armour save?I want him to have good strength but i didnt want him to suffer from lack of armour save.

Problem with this is that the rune of swiftness is actually a MASTER rune of swiftness, so it couldn't be combined with kragg's rune.Champion of Slaanesh said:Thane alrick

I also wouldn't worry too much about armor saves with dwarfs. With gromil armor, shields, runes of stone, shieldbearers, etc. It's quite easy to beef up a dwarf's already impressive armor.
Lol i wasn't paying attention ideas of runic wepons were dancing through my head lol.
So heres the new one.
Thane alrick
great wepon
master rune of kragg the grim
rune of fury
rune of clevage

All feedback appreciated

personally ive found that a thane with a bog standard great weapon tends to be enough offensively assuming you can keep him alive long enough.
with this in mind my recent thanes tend to carry
Great weapon
rune of stone
rune of resistance
master rune of spite
though this guy takes up the full 75 point rune total he is an evil bugger to budge with a 3+ save which has re-rolls and then a 4+ ward save to back that up.
and with T5 id like to see most hero's get through this guy without him being a pain in the arse :shifty:
once he soaks up your foes attacks the 3 WS6 S6 attacks should be enough to wound your foe at least once per round of combat with a nice -3 modifier.
in every sence of the word, endurance.

That looks like a good combonation although most enemy heroes will have a 2- save modifier making his save a 5+ but it looks like a good combination once i get a thane il proxy a empire captain against him and see what happens.
well aye though he wil have a 5+ save he will get to re-roll this and then take a 4+ ward so even with a -2 mod he stands a good chance of surviving 
well it looks like a good thane but maybey he doesent need a great wepon i was thiinking of maybey this?
thane
shield
rune of might
two runes of furry
Do u think hell be good at killing stuff?Because i want him to be strong and against lower toughness carechters(elves men etc.)ill exchange rune of might with rune of cleavage.

Make him a lord and give him shieldbearers if you want a very high AS
(but only in 2000pts games!) :yes:

well the problem with 5 S4 attacks is that they dont gain a huge amount in comparison to 3 S6
5 S4
5 attacks
3 hits
2 wounds
3S6
3 attacks
2 hit
2 wounds
these are made from rough averages but im sure if any one would want to do exact averaging the sums about the same. the big difference is the 50 points you are paying for 2 extra attacks which unless fighting against T2 tend to do not quite as well as a great weapon thane.

I say 5 S4. More reliable than 3 S6.
