Hellstrider Hellreaver

• Stats: Movement 10"; Toughness 4; Wounds 30; 235 Pts.
  • Rule: Mount, Destroyer, Leader
  • Weapons:
    • Claw-Range 2"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/4
• Fighter Commentary - At strength and toughness 4, the Hellstrider Hellreaver is probably the closest thing to a heavey hitter, and it's quite good. With 2" range as well, this model is definitely a threat, and can even pump his power to 5 with Locus of Excruciation. At 235 points, though, he's the most expensive leader option. Sometimes builds can afford the Heartseeker or Blissbringer but not the Hellreaver. Use where possible, but the Heartseeker isn't a significant downgrade.

Hellstrider with Claw-Spear

• Stats: Movement 10"; Toughness 4; Wounds 20; 145 Pts.
  • Rule: Mount, Destroyer
  • Weapons:
    • Claw-Range 2"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 1/4
• Fighter Commentary - 15 more points than the Seeker gives Hellstriders 1 more toughness, 1" more range, and 1 less attack. Their ability, Impaling Strike, lets them the value of the dice for a triple if they end their move within 1" of an enemy fighter, which can make up for the 1 less attack a little bit. Generally this comes down to preference, though seekers are better overall. Use Hellstriders much like seekers, letting them roam and making use of their movespeed where possible. Their higher toughness and 2" range might at least make them more survivable, but these aren't a significant enough upgrade from seekers to make them really worth the points unless you're really committed to them.

Hellstrider with Hellscourge

• Stats: Movement 10"; Toughness 4; Wounds 20; 145 Pts.
  • Rule: Mount, Destroyer
  • Weapons:
    • Reach-Range 3"; Attacks 4; Strength 3; Damage 1/3
• Fighter Commentary - For the same points as a Hellstrider with Claw-Spear, these models gain 1" of range and an attack, but lose their Impaling Strike and a point of crit damage. With their only attack being 1/3, these do the least damage in a warband that can already struggle to pump out consistent damage, and most of what it can do with 3" of range, the Hellstrider with Claw-Spear does just fine with 2". There's not much reason to take this over a Hellstrider with Claw-Spear, let alone a Seeker, which will likely put out more damage for 15 less points.
