What is the rule for using a GW while on a monstrous mount? Is it only +1 to str instead of +2 if you are on any type of mount?

**plusARGON**

Yes? I feel like you answered your own question. The title monstrous mount has the word mount in it, that would mean the character is mounted when on it. SOOOO +1S only.

**boogeyman**

Yes I guess it would and pretty much knew the answer. I was just hoping I had a little more room on the back of a dragon, so I could really let loose with the GW.

**Red_Zeke**

You got it, still just +1... If this is for a Dark Elf list, consider looking in to the Crimson death.

If you're wanting more oomph for your Dreadlord, check out Caledor's Bane when you have 35pts sitting around. S7 with 4 attacks is nice.

I still want to try out the Executioner's Axe in a Dreadlord-led unit of Black Guard. There's a nasty surprise for you.

ok another question for you all

if mounted on say a Dragon do you get the +1 for being mounted?

**nosferatu1001**

No, that only applies when on a cavalry mount

**Krellnus**

Woah, since when does being on a monstrous mount give you +1 Str?

**Jin**

When you're on a Monstrous Mount and you have a great weapon.

**Krellnus**

Huh, never knew that.

**GentlemanGuy**

that cheating.....Well thanks for clearing that up for me now i'm in search of a cricket bat

100% correct, do note that some things count as Cav mount as well but they will be clearly listed in the AB (like war litter for skaven)
