Who do you like running them? Irusk2 would be a choice. Anyone else?

Vlad2. With Wind Blast and a cloud fart from the chariot, you have a reasonable chance of keeping your Demo Corps save from shooting.
Also, he can feat on them.

Only tried the assault chariot so far, but I'm pretty sure OW2 can run the siege chariot pretty well. She's also one of the rare caster to actually protect it well through wind storm (and we know the chariots are squishy enough to need it). Scourge and her gun are also easy way to help it hit, which is pretty key considering the single rat 6 shot you really don't want to miss.

Probably start with Irusk2. Magnetizing two so I should be able to run 2. Plus BC and all that Dual attacks leaves a pretty damm solid assassination run. |

If running two I would definitively consider doing it with Old Witch2 before Irusk2. Sure fire for effect is good on the one chariot, but the chariots benefit from a way bigger part of OW2's kit than his.

Probably won't have the second done till toward the end of the month - probably at the same time I get my long awaited OW2 onto the table.

I love my Chariot with Irusk_2  it's pretty solid. That said, ever since Wolves and Sorscha_0 came out I'm finding less and less reasons to play ArmCorp, which is a shame cause I love my MoW. I want to get a second one for a sweet conversion project, but I don't know if I would run 2 though. |

If im bringing vlad2 with demos, the siege chariot is an auto include for me. It's the difference in my DC surviving or dieing, having to use mini feat early or not, and the thing usually gets a solid turn of work. Albeit the thing usually dies turn 2 or 3, but it's worth it to send demo corps deep into the enemy. I have managed to keep it alive until turn 4/5 and it's just devastating once huge based models and support pieces are all that's left.

All the Vlad's run it well, because the Siege Chariot causes a lot more damage in melee than you think it should, and boosting that with SnP/HoF is quite good. To me there are 3 factors.
1: The gun obviously. Honestly I think it's better to use the Chariot as an enabler rather than as a follow up, so I find it significantly better with accuracy buffs than with debuffs like Old Witch/Sorscha 1 or a Victor flaring the target. After all, if either of them get onto a target it's getting horribly debuffed already. Like a POW 20 hit in the face is great and all, sometimes rolling 4 dice of damage, but go bowling heavies without risking your caster to help your other MoW go nuts on a target is even better.
The Adjunct giving this guy Eyeless Sight also helps since Stealth was one of its weaknesses
2: The melee output. Again it's a lot better in practice than it appears on paper and is a big component to getting the most out of this thing.
3: Being able to Tactician through it. Not generally something that happens with Irusk 2 but any caster who runs this and Artanis will find that this is a massive boon and really makes the Chariot come into its own. Being able to see and charge through a huge base that's charged into melee, KD'd everything it impacts, shot its gun at a target in melee, bowling it into more models and then repoing back a touch to allow charging Demo Corps to get stuck in there is extremely powerful. You want to get your Demo Corps or what have you into melee then body blocking with the thing works pretty good.
