http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Is there a point to taking bloodcrushers over bloodhounds in the new codex (aside from slot constraints)

I cant see a benefit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284640.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284640.page GMT
Hounds:
1 more inch of move
twice as many wounds
Greater unit strength
MR 3

Bloodcrusher
4+ armor save from Brass Colossus
hits slightly harder (killing blow and 2 of the 4 attacks are s6)
Can have full command
Can benefit from Herald of Khorne
Smaller minimum unit size (1 BC vs. 5 Hounds minimum) if you just want to corner up alongside a ranked unit this could work...

I tend to concur that the Flesh Hounds are better, 4 vwounds vs. 2 for each 70 points just blows away the other differences.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284657.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284703.page GMT
Flesh hounds on the other hand will likely be on flanks so will face a bit of shooting and some other light units so will be harried less, meaning your main battle line gets up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/284781.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/287216.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/287216.page GMT
a 2k build might look like:

thirster

herald chariot

herald chariot

10 letters FC
10 letters FC
10 letters FC

5 hounds
5 founds

3 crushers
3 crushers

just an example of course, not looking at points. i would personally have the heralds in larger blocks of letters to let the whole unit get hatred.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/287428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/287428.page GMT D6") on the charge.

Loose the full command from the Blood Letter units and take a BSB w/ the standard of sundering. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/287854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/287854.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/288184.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/211193/288184.page GMT
