Thinking eSeverius can kill a whole army

[Menoth's Bishop]

Hi guys,

With the release of collosals i have been wandering that playing eSeverius could turn pretty interesting.

With creators wrath he can turn into an "engine of destruction" (pun intended). With the help of wracks and hiero, he can get 9 attacks, 1 fully boosted, with average 14.5 mat and 23.5 for damage. If u include ayana & holt with +2 damage, That can deal 8x 6.5 & 1x 10 dmg attack to an arm 19 collosal, for a total 62 damages. That would generate avg 18 damage rolls against models 5" near to a 5" base model, enough to kill 3 min units. Thats like 34 army points. Combine him with avatar for proteccion (gaze) and/or daughters for screening and it can be a hell of a party.

Any comments?

I use to think like that about the old man but a few things you might want to consider:

-Defense and armor 14 makes him VERY squishy, so you HAVE to kill whatever it is you're trying to kill.

-Spd 5 makes him very slow against many armies, so getting the charge off is harder than you think most of the time, especially without pathfinder or hunter. Awareness can help, but you're using your focus up for that.

-He is still mat 4. Him hitting things above defense 14 will make it harder, even with the extra die. Remember to choose your targets wisely because colossals, units, or jacks can have upkeep spells and things of the sort.

Other than that, I did destroyed a Warpwolf with him with the greatest of ease with him.

Worth noting that Creators Wrath ignores buffs that adds to DEF and ARM

Sure so thats is why i wanna nuke a colossal . They are tough enough to tale all 9 attacks, just to guarantee my 18 admon attacks. Sure i wont be killing heavys but thats gonna be the job for the rest of my army

I still am confused as to what Collosals adds to eSev...

[FearMeMortals]

I think the idea is that Sevvy2 can kill a colossal by himself.

[Terraneaux]

Having your strongest attack ignored by a 'jack for the cost of a focus that the 'jack gets for free might be frustrating...

I think the idea is that Sevvy2 can kill a colossal by himself.

And that admonisher deals to the surrounding enemy warrior models.

This is just the most brilliant thing
One day I shall charge eSevvy forth into battle with a colossal, and it will be a joyful day indeed. He'll die straight after, but those few second of blazing glory will be worth it, especially the opponents face!

I do love me some eSevy.....! Perhaps my favorite caster along with Thyra. The combo of those 2 as my lists often makes hordes opponents want to quit. They face farstriking Jacks killing there stuff or no transfer assasin killing there caster.

The idea has some merit if your opponent bunches up or leaves their caster within 5" of the colossal but if your opponent knows about he will simply leave his stuff more than 5" from the colossal and then kill eSev the turn after you kill his colossal.

Well, it's like the reznik zombie combo with vessel, i don't think it is the best idea to let my opponemt semi-kill my caster so i can use the miracle and pray for a 1 instant kill hit.
Must of all, what i like of the all man is that it is completly unexpected. You can kill a caster with a wm opponent wm (influence), you can kill if he misplace its collossal, you can kill if he puts its caster too close to the battlefield (awareness) or just because you shred his army.
Im not saying i will always try to kill this way, but if i see opportunity and have my army for backup (or dont have anything and is my last shot) why not? One way or another it will be a glorious day (and the face of my opponent the best reward)

haha five inches off of the base of the colossus is huge.

are the exra hits also boosted from creator's wrath? i'm gonna guess not but it is still hilarious.

(he does have a 10 inch threat range on charge so that is nice)

edit - there is no way the average person will even think about this until his entire army is slag under a flurry of damage.

Creator's Wrath only boosts melee attack and damage rolls, so Admonisher won't get it. The problem with trying to kill the rest of the army with the Admonisher hits is that eventually the closest model is going to be a jack or something that doesn't care much about POW 10s. It would be hilarious if the Caster was one of the three closest models and you killed them with POW 10s though.
