I realised while playing my buddy yesterday that Mournfang should be run in 3's. I know that everyone runs them in 4's, HA+IF's for skullcrusher rivals, and the reason people said you take 4 is because they are specail, so you have more points to spend on them which is a valid point. HOWEVER, a benefit of running in a unit of 3, which I didnt notice with my skullcrushers due to frenzy is if you loose 1 Mournfang out of 4 its a panic check, on leadership 7, but if you are a unit of 3 you cant be panic'd by loosing 1, you need to take 6 wounds to panic.

I cant have been the first to notice this, is there anything ive missed that will leave me with egg on my face?

If a unit of 4 loses 3 wounds, thats 25% thus a panic check
If a unit of 3 loses 3 wounds, thats 33% thus a panic check.

You'll take a panic test after 1 casualty with 3 or 4 in a unit either way. Might as well have more bodies when you reach melee. Its tough to kill more than 1 Mournfang before they charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6947384.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6947384.page GMT Re:Mournfang Units http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6947633.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6947633.page GMT Re:Mournfang Units http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6947713.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6947713.page GMT Mournfang Units http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6948136.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6948136.page GMT Re:Mournfang Units

1/5 = 20%. You can be under 25% when you start with 5]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6948170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/601171/6948170.page GMT Re:Mournfang Units

The benefit I was thinking of like my skullscrushers in 3's is if I break from combat I rally on unmodified not snake eyes.

I know most players only take musi/sb, but for someone who wants a champion for his own reasons, units of 4 are best.
I personally like Lore of Metal a lot, and play armies that have access to it, so mournfang has never ben a problem for me.

I'd flank with them. 156 points for 2D3 S5 impact hits, 8 S5 attacks, followed by 7 S6 attacks and 2 S5 stomps.
3+ armor is fairly durable, especially if in the flank where you aren't taking a lot of attacks.

So why unit champ? Because wounds are split between them from shooting, and they can soak a challenge if they want to, or decline and fight at full effect.
