If you could multiple big names on a Tyrant (similar to Vampire Counts) AND outside of the magic items allowance ....
(1) Which ones would you take?
(2) What builds would you use?
(3) What are the pros/cons of your Tyrant?
Two of mine....
Tyrant1
Big names - Mawseeker & Giantbreaker
Equipment - Heavy Armour & Ironfist
Magic Items - Trickster's Helm, Dragonbane Gem, Crown of Command,
Pros
- S6, T6, wounds against Tyrant must be re-rolled;
- 3+ armour save;
- 2+ ward against flaming attacks; &
- stubborn.
Cons
- Wounds can not be regained, e.g. as opposed to Gut Maw or Lore attribute on LotGM.
- Vunerable to HKB and poison.
(One could argue that there is some protection against poison, if the armour save is made)
Tyrant2
Big names - Mawseeker & Giantbreaker
Equipment - Brace of Ogre Pistols
Magic Items - Gut Maw, Dragonbane Gem, Crown of Command, The Other Trickster's Shard
Pros
- S6, T6, A6, wounds against Tyrant in a challenge can be regained;
- 2 x ranged attacks at WS4;
- Ward saves must be re-rolled;
- 2+ ward against flaming attacks;
- 5+ armour save; &
- stubborn
Cons
- Again vunerable to HKB and poison.
- Poor armour save.
Both builds could be boosted to S7 and T7, with the signature Beasts spell (popular with Jimmy!)
Positive and negative criticisms equally welcomed, along with your Tyrant builds!

PS Could also increase strength further with a GW or Sword of Anti-Heroes
