In competitive mode he mostly deals with people "deepstrikeing" or reinforcing my flanks as need be. For no Bretonnian ever stands behind his men. The King Normally stays out of the fight if its a competitive game, friendly game. but his keeper isn't going to be there after this. either he dies from my Grail Knights, or he Dies from my Suicide Lord. While I charge the Suicide Lord into the keeper and I charge the 10 man squad Grail Knights, I have dubbed "Grail Team Six" and give him the choice. If its one thing a block of 16 Knights of the Realm are good for. I do this for them to hold the line for as long as they can. he gets the mortal wounds on a 3+ on monsters, 4+ if its just a hero (this is combined with the Enchantress +1 spell, and the Kings +1 on charges command trait).Īnd on Keepers or Similar ******, I tend to do what I call a "Pick your f***ing poison you degenerate inbreed daemon" if I charge in my block of Knights of the Realm with all the defensive buffs. He takes the Sword of Judgement, for on the charge. And because it’s before you pick any unit, if it’s your turn you can then choose a second unit to fight with immediately after the King, before the enemy hits at the introduction of Slaanesh and some other tricks I have basically tossed out the useless Archmage I used to run in my list and have given myself a Bretonnian Lord. So this allows you to fight before a Keeper of Secrets or a Ghoul King on Terrorgheist, or an ASF Bloodthirster.

As it stands, the “fights immediately” wording nullifies always strike first on your own turn, and always nullifies always strikes last, even on their go.

He’s fantastic with Blade of Carving (auto wound on 6s) and Blade of Endings (+2 damage on 6s) as well, as these activate against all enemies and not just heroes and monsters, like the Sword of Judgement does.īut at 400 points, we do tend to rely on him to be our monster hunter, and there are now monsters running around that he can’t hunt with any of the above setups.Īn alternative is the Quicksilver Potion. Of course it stands to reason that all of the Malign Sorcery items that kick in with cool effects on 6s to hit are good with him. While this is true against a lot of armies, in the current meta that is filling up with monsters that can always strike first, or make you always strike last, and pile in and attack 2x, the Judgement King gets no chance to fight against these targets.
