[ABANDONED] Guv's Marauder Berserkers unit

Description
Hello! Guvenoren here again with another Unit! :)

Like my Chosen Berserkers, I did feel like something was missing and I made that Idea come true. Not to further this I've made a unit that is somewhat like Chosen Berserkers, but a lot worse! Or well, they are good but not nearly as good as chosen berserkers.

I present to you, Marauder Berserkers!

My goal here is to make a viable unit for vanilla Warhammer as best as I can. This unit is as far as I've been playtesting, Viable. The unit card blends in very well with other units like the Marauders and it's role is filled. If not 100% balanced I will work on this so it's at least 99%!

PS: This unit is recruitable by other norscan factions. Beware!

[EDIT 08-10]: After a lot of wars fought and a lot of Norscans you've had to suffer from in the past, now it's time to say good bye to our old Marauder berserkers. Hope you had fun playing with this unit! :)


Pro's and Con's:

Pros

+ New role for chaos: Martyr units
+ Damage vs Infantry and some piercing
+ Higher leadership than the other Marauders
+ High attack and very small splash
+ Somewhat faster movement than the other marauders

Cons

- loses against anything that is not infantry.
- (Really) Dislikes missiles.
- Lacks armour.
- Aweful melee defence.
- Rather expensive for a Marauder unit.
- Requires Marauder building_3 to recruit.
- Hard to maintain their casualties.

@Van no point. Marauder berserkers already exists in the Norsca DLC.

@Unnamed_Shadow I have decided to abandon this unit. Just to let you boys know. I will make an announcement on the group and on my unit pack.
Guvenoren  [author] 8 Aug, 2017 @ 11:00pm 
@Unnamed_Shadow I don't know really. I'll propably scrap them or something. We'll see what I decide. I might indeed upgrade them to champion berserkers :P

So sad this mod will probably not be updated, since the Norscan roster will include Berserkers.

Maybe update them into Marauder Champion Berserkers? That would be sick!

@t42bug unit slightly buffed. particularly in hitpoints
Guvenoren  [author] 4 Feb, 2017 @ 6:06am 
@t42bug they're anti infantry. They have a high amount of pure anti infantry strenght which means they will eat up infantry. Perhaps a health buff should be a good idea. I feel like that i have indeed lowered their health too much and I think that they can have the same health (of not even a bit more) than the average marauder.
t42bug 3 Feb, 2017 @ 10:14pm 
Yeah they have the lowest WS in the game, period. Even zombies have 16. Hell Goblins have 25! I know they aren't supposed to have much staying power, but this is a wee bit absurd. At this price they are FAR from expendable, theres no reason I should not just take two standard Marauders as those would beat something more than twice their price hands down every time. Thats just not worth it. They just need these stats bumped up a bit, I'd say 25 WS, at least on par to a horde of gobbos, and 20 Melee defense, same as a Marauder with Great Weapons, so equal to shirtless, sheildless joe viking almost a hundred gold cheaper.

Ah found the reason they were underpreforming, they have such anemic weapon strength. 13 WS? Sure its all either armor pericing or anti-infantry but its lower than the base 20 the Maruaders get and thats why they get pretty shredded easy. I know they have absolutely been designed to like be squishy but they barely shred like they should.
