    Default Berserk - Limit to the number of attacks?

    Sorry for the relatively simple questions that I seem to have bombarded you folks with lately. I promise I'll stop soon once I've found my feet properly.

    Title kind of gives it away - do the extra attacks from Berserk generate further attacks? Common sense is telling me no, as that seems INSANELY powerful...

    yup, berserk attacks triiger more beserk attacks. It's powerful, but (in general) there is no choice not to make the attacks, so in the wrong situation you'll kill all your guys too.
    Sometimes you have to make lemons out of lemonade.

    I was thinking more along the lines of Epic Zoktavir under Ravager on his Feat. That's incredibly nasty knowing that...

    Yep. eButch with Homicidal Maniac up and Ravager are a sight to see when he pulls it off.

    Yeah, it's fun but your opponent has got a very simple defense against it: Getting in meele with your models...

    Yesterday I slashed through a Unit of Bloodrunners and their Master Tormentor, the only "problem" was that I also slashed the rest (3) of my Doom Reaver who got charged by the bloodrunners
    With eButcher you HAVE to be very carefull not to kill to many of your guys ^^

    Yeah Ravager is killer on Orsus. I had a charge that let me cut through about 10 guys on my way to Siege (the last one was close enough to the caster I got a hit). With Ravager and Homicidal Maniac I ended up with basically an 18-20 inch charge. I am really excited about trying Orsus with Drago. Truly a pair of Tazmanian Devils.

    Don't forget that Ravager works when you kill a model, not just enemy model. You can string your own guys out to the charge.

    I once had a three warcaster game with eButch, eVlad and Old Witch versus eDenny, Mortembra, and Terminus. Turn two my opponent was in a rainbow across the board, planning on countercharging everything that attacked it. There was a 'caster to the left, a 'caster on the right, and a 'caster in the middle. Butcher cast Ravager and charged a unit of bile thralls on the left...

    Long story short he ended up on the right side of the board and "accidently" killed all three warcasters as he mowed across the units in between. All this with an Arcane Dementia roll of...1.

    The moral of this story is two fold: The Butcher's Homocidal Maniac triggers before Berserk to move 1" then attack, and the Butcher will kill anything that ends movenemt 10-12 inches from him and everything unlucky enough to be standing near
