Would it be better to give a warlord 3 extra attacks or get a doomflayer / rattling gun?

well, not a ratling gun....

Doom flayers are good at supporting. Personally Id grab a warpfire thrower, but then burny death is a good thing....

Warlock Weapon only gives you 1 extra attack, where did you get three from?

It's an odd question because a Doom Flayer has a different purpose to your army general. Use the Doom Flayer to chew up whatever units are trying to outflank you (e.g. small units of fast cavalry).

Probably the magic weapon that costs 70 points and gives you +3 attacks?

Giant blade is actually 60 pts, and it does give +3 attacks. What i'm trying to ask is which would help his stormvermin bodyguard more in combat...

I'd say Doom flayer...

I second all suggestions for Doom Flayers.

What does the rest of your list look like? That makes a big difference.

Weapon teams of all flavors live much longer when there are bigger threats to shoot at. I wouldn't bother with them unless your rare choices are maxed out already.
