I've never actually used it because of all the scary tales. I've watched batreps with it, and it does look powerful. I tend to avoid the really OP units, so I never assembled them until now. It's nice to still be encountering "new" elements to my games after all this time!

It's nice to still be encountering "new" elements to my games after all this time! Just so many poisoned attacks and a 5+ ward (i think?). I probably was lucky, but for some reason my orcs and goblins lists were kryptonite for that unit. My beastmen...not so much (except one time i was able to get the murder doombull into that unit, the witches didnt like all those attacks coming back at them).

From what I understand about dealing with the unit, is to give it a good amount of shooting to soften if up a good bit before they reach your units on a round or two. They're very squishy with only a 5++, so getting wounds through isn't difficult. Even a simple unit of archers will be able to pick a few off. By the time they get into CC you should have whittled the down enough to finish them off.

Looking good! I don't think I'd call it overpowered. Nasty yes, but still unarmoured Elves absolutely ripe for Frenzy railroading

There are ways to work around it, but yes. Frenzy-baiting is something a Cauldron/Witch unit has to be aware of. So is being whittled down by range attacks.

I finished assembling 30 of these old-style Executioners and a new one who will be my Tullaris Dreadbringer. I'm looking forward to painting these guys up.

The old Executioners are just as good as the new ones. Look forward to seeing them painted.

These Dark Elves look mad as hatters. I wouldn't want to go anywhere near that unit with the cauldron!!! Good work.

Tis a thing of beauty. How many points roughly is that?
