- Fighter Commentary -
Well, this one's usually your best leader choice unless you desperately need the points for something else, or feel extremely lucky with rolling 6s (in this case, take skullseeker instead as he may be just a bit better platform for triple ability) Wrathmaster is the guy dealing 6 dmg on average even vs t5+ foes, so he's just the rip-and-tear machine you ususally look for. In campaign, will benefit more than other leaders from crit-increasing artifacts, so go hunt for the doomblade for even more rip-tear action.
Fighter
Blood Warrior With Goreaxe and Gorefist
- Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 15; 110 Pts.
- Runemarks: Bulwark
- Weapons:
- Axe-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 2/4
- Fighter Commentary -
Simple math: if used with double 6, gorefist ability will add 2.33 to his damage on average. If used with double 5, it will be 2. The generic ability of adding 1 attack, at worst(attacking just one time vs bigger toughness) will add 2 damage on average. So there are only two narrow uses for gorefist ability: attacking one time + gorefist on double 6, or dealing some damage after double move (which, actually, can be useful to catch an almost-escaped foe). With all that in mind, twin goreaxe guy with 1 extra attack for 5 extra points will almost always be better. Take gore-fisted guy only if else you won't fit with points.
Blood Warrior With pair of Goreaxe

Will generally be a little bit better than the twin goreaxe guy. Will also benefit more from onslaught ability due to having better single attacks.
