Edit- forgot that hatred doesn't reroll to-wounds when you charge. Alas.

Strat: Get 6s on Axe of Khorne attacks, furious charge allows you to wound them. Didn't get sixes? REROLL DAT

Chaos Lord: Skull Helm of Khorne, Axe of Khorne
Herald of Khorne: Hatred Loci.
8 Berserkers: Champ has axe of khorne, Icon of wrath

Slap these bad boys in a landraider and point it at the victim... hoping the transport survives the strength D cannons.

Perfect plan 10/10

You don't have anything to reroll the 6's to wound that give you instant death

Hatred gives rerolls to HIT in the first round of combat, not to wounds sadly :( Might be getting that mixed up with Preferred Enemy.

Also, just to clarify, Prefered Enemy only grants rerolls of 1s at that lol

Does the roll of 6 to wound for AoK confer d3 wounds on Gargantuan ? Seems like a bad trade for points and not reliable. I would look for ranged D from IA13 - fight fire with fire.

Iron Arm a Nurgle Demon Prince (Codex: Chaos Demon one) and give it a Balesword. Then you are S9, AP2, Poison (4+), Instant Death at I8 with 6 Attacks on the Charge. You also have the benefit of a 2+ Cover Save when you Jink. If the WraithKnight is using Heavy D-Cannon pray you don't get splatted by a Destroyer Roll of 6. If it's using the D Sword, then you attack first and if it survives, its only hitting you on 5s due to WS4 vs WS9.

Do you still get the re-rolls of failed Wounds on a Poison Weapon when you're a higher strength against Gargantuan Creatures? If so, you're re-rolling your To Wounds as well.

Oh... right whoops! Well back to the drawing board. I like the nurgle prince, too bad it'll probably be the focus of the eldar's entire army :\.

Too bad, I liked this idea haha.

What we need is a sure fire solution to kill the WK that's similarly costed.

Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage?
if only Eldar had less firepower. The thirster could probably kill the wraithknight with a single charge, then maybe survive himself depending on the stomps.

Lol, what if we maxed AoK attacks?
With axes of khorne and furious charge, if you had two lords, each with additional special weapons for that +1 attack... you'd have 12 axe of khorne attacks? Plus berserker champion attacks would have you at a whopping 16 axe of khorne attacks. Skull helm would grant an additional 2 attacks on average.

9 hits... resulting 2, MAYBE 3 wounds.... vs. 4++ and FNP? It's possible.

Cost of the unit: 432 points + land raider LOL

Don't forget the combat familiar lol. Can still grant additional attacks.

(This is a terrible idea)

Poison is very bad against GCs.

It's not about poison itself. You do still get a reroll to wound if your str is higher than the target's toughness. Regardless of poison beng reduced to 6+. If you get Iron arm off, you'll have 3+ to wound rerollable.

So, a DP with iron arm can get around 3 ID wounds on a knight. If he gets there. So, you'll likely kill a knight and than loose a dp to a bunch of D-Scythe wraiths. If you get to the knight in the first place.

I tested a small unit of warp talons vs a knight. Yes warp talons. They jumped behind units of dogs with a lot of MSU so were ignored. With Rage, Shred, furious charge and the tithe of an extra attack they put out 6 attacks each at AP3. Plus they had +1 S by being in the formation for their HOW. I didn't kill the thing but did get 4 wounds through and tied it up till my D thirster got to attack.

"Regardless of poison beng reduced to 6+. If you get Iron arm off, you'll have 3+ to wound rerollable. " Not sure this makes sense as the WK is T8.

DPs are S6 and would get +3S from Iron Arm making them S9 so they would wound on 3+ which becomes rerollable with poison

What is HOW ? Sorry for my ignorance.

Hammer of Wrath.

The new WK is only FNP more durable than the old one. You still kill it with heavy AT guns like always

How about a DP from the chaos codex.... With the black mace? it has fleshbane
