Has anyone out there tried Butcher2 with Lord Rockbottom and Valachev'd Press Gangers or Sea Dog Pirates?
With pseudo-Berserk from feat, Fury, and Overtake/Boosted attacks, they seem like they could do pretty awful things to infantry (though Tough could be rough). Not sure what theme they would slot into best but the module is available in most themes except WGK.
If you have tried it, do you find the Pirates or the Gangers to be more effective?

The main issue with sea dogs is they have mediocre threat range without mr walls, and valachev doesn't really help for their melee threat since they need to succeed their charges before valachev can try and trigger battle wizard and zephyr them.

In my experience playing with and against Berserk+Overtake it's not that good unless you have reach 2". Reach 0.5" means you kill only dudes who stay in b2b.

I hate that Butcher 2 doesn't just have berserk + overtake or killing spree like Finn. I don't care that the thing he has is potentially better. Why have a more complicated version of the same thing?

And then there is Finn who seemingly murderates everything in his path ;-) But I generally agree. This is what I'm kind of wondering. They can be coming in with boosted attack and Fury'd damage, and if Valachev gets the kill off you can pop them deeper into a unit before the spree starts. Delivery might be an issue at 12/11 and mreh speed, though. Now, if you could take Walls and Valachev... |
