So just by looking at the thirster, he doesnt seem to really bad build.

I got mine equipped with Obsidian Armour and Immortal Fury right now. Im torn between the axe of khorne or the firestorm blade.

I know i can drop the armour for the armour of khorne and then take both weapons but i feel the anti magic weapon element of it is valuable.

Thoughts?

I think firestorm blade only really loses out in that matchup when you're fighting star dragons. Otherwise, it's pretty great to be able to ignore regeneration saves...

Immortal Fury, Firestorm Blade, Obsidian Armor. The only time I don't run this is when I'm looking at a 2nd bloodthirster (who would get dark instanity).

Thanks. Killing blow if tempting for challenges but it doesnt seem necesary in most cases if the opponents magic weapons dont work...

Pretty much anything makes a 20% undercosted character/monster even better.

Obsidian armour is almost a given.
Beware the firestorm blade vs HEs and their dragon armour.
You look pretty stupid being unable to hurt T3 elves....

Thanks thats good to know. I forgot about High Elves and their dragon armour...

The flaming attacks seem very necesary now because ive run into more and more DE Hydras. The thirster with flaming attacks as of late has been taking im out in a round of combat easily so i think im gona keep going with the fireaxe for now.
