Title: Araby elephant mount
Post by: Dark Omen on October 31, 2016, 12:12:32 PM
Dear community,

I am collecting an Araby army as my next project, and something caught my eye;

Has anyone else noted the anomaly in the Araby army Elephant mount option for characters?

It is currently listed as 65 pts for a measly +1 attack and terror. This is completely out of alignment with other mounts for Heroes, for example the Ogre list has a Rhinox mount for the same cost that adds +2 attacks and Terror. Typical flying mounts add +2 attacks, Terror and flying for only 80 pts.

Surely for 65 pts the Elephant mount should grant +2 attacks?

I seem to recall that this was errata'd but I can't find the reference anywhere.

Am I correct or mistaken?

Many Thanks

Iain

IMHO I trust more the araby list than ogre list.

I think cost for an elephant mount should be 40pts, it is after all the same as a black coach.
Warmaster ancients has an elephant mount with +2 combat mod for 30 pts, probably too cheap, 50 is better, but in ancients an elephant mount could be said to rampage in the same way as a stand of elephants, including the unit it is with, making it more of a liability, with the rampage rules in fantasy this doesnt work,
maybe use ancients rampage instead?

Yeah, 2A terror mounts are 65 (carnosaur)  and 1A terror mounts are 40. So the elephant mount should be one or the other way.
