On a chariot, he's most likely gonna be there to simply do the most wounds possible.

I berserker sword would be a great way to get extra attacks. the chariot is on a large base, so you'll get lots from that.

If you're looking to be slightly less points, a sword of battle might be an idea. then again...I've always been a fan of great weapons. you'll almost always get the charge, and with impact hits etc and a great weapon, you'll hack lots to pieces.

 

problem with the new rules is this: great weapon is only +1 strength unless on foot, and using both hands means he cant use his shield (although that means his save is still 2+.........). a halberd would be a better idea these days, but i know where you're coming from, thanks

 

Well if you were running a Tzeentch army, I would suggest the following strategy.

Exalted Champion of Tzeentch: 362pts
Chariot of Tzeentch
Golden Eye of Tzeentch
Sword of Might
Shield

Now you have a lv 2 sorceror with a 1+ armour save and a 3+ ward save against any shooting, plus 4, st6 attacks, not to mention impact hits.

If it's Khorne, then I would suggest this:

Exalted Champion of Khorne: 337pts
Chariot of Khorne
Collar of Khorne
Sword of Battle
Shield

This guy is pretty much immune to magic, and has a 1+ armour save and 6 str 5 attacks, plus impact hits.

I think that is all I can suggest :ninja:

 

thanks, man. at least i know im on the right track. ill stick with 5 s6 attacks, just so i can mow cav a little easier, and for 5 less points.

thanks again, tim

 

remember to apply frenzy to your horse attacks too :w00t:

 

Be careful with the any khornate chariots. You can get baited into a charge that you really didn't want to take, or worse yet, baited into difficult terrain. The last thing you want is to have your expensive character on foot, dazed and confused in the middle of a forest, wondering where his chariot went.
