Warboss Forklaw and his fancy rules discussion.

[emptyhat]

Ok, so I've finished building and painting one of my three new warbossessss, Warboss Forklaw. Unlike the other two this guy has a less standard wargear layout and Chemin asked if he was going to get a special character profile. So when he's not being a generic boss with generic stuff I thought he could roll with the following (thoughts and ideas are welcome).

Warboss Forklaw 110 points

WS 5 BS 2 S 5 T5 W3 I4 A7 LD9 Sv 6+

Unit Type Infantry (Character)

Unit Composittion 1 (unique)

Wargear
• 4 Power Klaws (bonus attacks included in profile)
• Personal Force field (4+)

Special Rules
• Ere We Go
• Furious Charge
• Independent Character
• Mob Rule
• Waaaaagh!

May not take any further gear or relics.
Can only be included in an army that includes at least 3 Ork walker units.

sounds good in principal:

the extra points are for a single power klaw, some extra attacks and a save (is the save invulnerable, cover or armour?).

I'm not sure I get why he must be included with walkers though I like the idea of being restricted to certain unit choices.


ultimately; he's a beast in close combat if he can survive to his initiative round - very effective against elite units and superheavy vehicles, and able to make a satisfying mess out of any other kind of unit.

The (4+) PFF save is supposed to be invulnerable.

You have to take him with walkers because that's what inspired him to get the arms. he wanted to be dead killy like a dredd so he made a painboy graft on the extra arms to make him dreadlier.

That is one of the best, most cracked kunvershuns I've evva seen!

It was inspired by one of Dakka's best Ork discussions. I love this one post especially: "An Ork with an extra arm? Sounds quite plausible but the arm might not be too happy about being on a different body and try to fight the body to assert dominance."

[Trooper One-Nine-Seven-Four]

I think he needs even more arms! Octaklaw GO!

We've already hit the torso/muscly arm ideal ratio. Anymore arms will require all arms to be weedier like grot arms.

or a bigger torso... do you still have a daemon prince model?

That is already being a deamon prince. And I already have a Chaos-Ork-Daemon-Boss anyway.
