I just think there's more benefit from the ironfists; especially now that they're regular shields.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3299461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3299461.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking?

I guess I'll just rip off the extra hand weapon and magnatize the Ironfist so that I'll be "forward compatible" with 9th Ed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3299490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3299490.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3299506.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3299506.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3300631.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3300631.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking?
With Wyssan's on them (Yay!) You now have 4 S5 attacks per model. With 6 bulls, that's 21 attacks, taking supporting into account.

While it's not game-breaking, it's nice to have Ogre Bulls dish out some hurt now and again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3300665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3300665.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking?

Magnets!

Thanks for the idea!

Extra hand weapons are brilliant on maneaters.
But with St4 I'm not as sure with the ogre bulls.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3302127.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3302127.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking?

the question is, will you actually be able to get those 21 attacks?


the Ironfist gives you a 5+/6+ save. you will save 44% of the wounds you take(assuming there arn't any Str modifiers or AP involved)

thats huge. that is the difference between losing an ogre and saving that one wound so he's still alive and gets his 3 attacks.


and the entire unit benifits, as opposed to the front rank only.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3302648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3302648.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking?
I am a big believer in shields, and already had all my ogres with Ironfists, so it's no problem. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3302703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3302703.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3303037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3303037.page GMT Re:Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3303086.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3303086.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3303204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/395831/3303204.page GMT Ogres - Is extra hand weapon worth taking?

Maneaters with the brace are the bomb. +1 attack is good, but getting in some shots as you stroll forward is really nice. Maneaters want to be flanking, so them not running forward isn't horrible.
