The Empire can hunker down and confederate everything as a way to expand while prepping for the inevitable war with Sylvania/Von Carsteinn-Help the electors out by giving their settlements back to them if they are taken by greenskins or razed by the damn bull, this will increase fealty with them and boost your imperial authority so you don't risk running red on it. Norscan land is worthless and requires a lot of babysitting, which you simply don't have time for. The Norscans will always declare on you, and the vampires are a much more immediate threat to you. I would really not bother with Marienburg, personally. You should be able to take a settlement for nearly every turn, with only 2 extra turns because of distance and ambush. The fort should be easy enough with only it's garrison protecting it, perhaps have two stacks to take it if you feel it necessary. After that you can take Eilhart, which prevents them from recruiting another Lord, and thus recruit anything. They will almost always be tempted into trying to take Ubersreik believing there is no one standing in their way. The only thing that would be worse would be a combined profile of Queek Headtaker armed with a reforged Fellblade, riding upon a Hellpit Abomination.I simply bait the secessionists out of their fort by ambushing them in the woods between the fort and Ubersreik. Also, If he is attacking enemy troops and is supported by the Celestial Hurricanum, he will be reliably killing 8 to 9 models per turn (oh, and those 8 to 9 models could be ogres or something similar). This increases if he is supported by a Celestial Hurricanum. Now, Karl Franz should inflict 5 hits, 2 - 3 which should bypass the ubiquitous 4+ ward, which means that he will likely inflict 6 - 9 damage. The combined profile eliminates this weakness Karl Franz and Deathclaw now attack with an improved version of Ghal Maraz. The real weakness of Ghal Maraz was the fact that Empire characters have limited Weapon Skill and Attack characteristics. Deathclaw's additional attacks were strong, but not so strong as to ignore armor and cause multiple wounds. Powerful, yes, but that was acceptable because he was a Special Character and Ghal Maraz was simply a Runefang with a damage bonus furthermore, half of Karl Franz's attacks would likely miss against targets that really mattered meaning that he would statistically cause 4 damage against an enemy character, or 2 damage assuming the opponent has a 4+ ward save. Before, Karl Franz only had four attacks that automatically wounded, ignored armors saves, and caused D3 wounds. That's not really the issue the real issue is with the Essence of Ghal Maraz and combined profiles.
TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER KARL FRANZ SAVED MY LIFE SKIN
You lose Bloodroar but gain a S4 breath weapon and 3+ scaly skin putting the combined model at a 1+ armour save, making this, along with the increased toughness, the most durable Karl on the market. Now what happens if we put him on the Imperial Dragon?įor 85 points more than regular Karl on Death Claw you get: Seems pretty useful, and might compensate slightly for your possible lack of a caster lord.
This spell is like a more powerful and more expensive Solar Beam (Basitladon bound spell). In addition to this, you get a powerful bound spell, Lord of Lightning.
You also get an additional wound per successful blow, with the boosted Ghal Maraz, increasing the average multiple wound from 2 to 3 (50% increase). New Karl is stubborn, something that is incredibly useful for monsters. Karl Franz Ascendant costs 810 points, 225 points more than regular Karl, and here is what you get:ġ+WS, 1+Wounds, 1+Initiative and 1+ Attack. Pretty expensive, but also incredibly intimidating. He has The Silver Seal and an optional Ghal Maraz.
TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER KARL FRANZ SAVED MY LIFE FULL
With full plate armour and a mount he would have a 3+ armour save. He also has two useless rules: Hold The Line and Loyal Beast. In the special rules department he has Fly, Immune to psych, 24" Inspiring Presence and Terror with Bloodroar. Here is good old Karl Franz, The Emperor, on Deathclaw with combined profiles: How good is the new, supercharged Karl Franz compared to our regular Karl? If combined monster+rider profiles are the way of the future:
