Archaon, better on foot or horse?

[BigMac]

To me it seems he has better attacks while on foot and also a smaller chance to be attacked.

He looks cooler on foot when fighting, but that’s just me, course I also used a mod to give him a chaos dragon so that’s also pretty good comapred to the horse

[BigMac]

Wish they made the mount as the aos model.. that would be RAD!

[BiteSizeCenter]

Just depends on how you prefer to use him I suppose. For me mobility in this game is king, so the horse mount is far superior imo.

He's probably a better duelist on foot (as well as being a smaller target for enemy missles), but can have much better control over the battlefield on his mount.

Dorgar. 100%

If it was old archeon pre WoC update, foot. But now, Dorgar is amazing.

I usually prefer my lords on foot compared to horse..... but im playing Archaon right now and I'd vote Horse in his case.

I think overall his stats are better on horse across the board(IIRC), mobility is better also. He also looks Savage AF towering over Chosen when on horse lol.

Id go horse.

Uhm ok sad to lose those awesome animations on foot though

[BiteSizeCenter]

I mean if you care about the animations so much then keep him as a footlord. He'll still be quite powerful and very useful. It's just that from a strictly gameplay perspective he's going to be better on horseback.

If you're trying to make him purely a one man army foot if you're playing normally on the horse

[Beytran70]

For fighting lords and heroes, I'd say foot.

Overall, horse. In my experience mounted lords while easier to hit sometimes in the thick of combat do have better area attack capabilities which make up for it. Plus in his spellcaster role it is easier to zip around and cast where necessary when he's mounted.

oh yea it would, there was a mod in warhammer 2 that made a chimera model similar to the one in AOS for dorghar, though it wasnt super great animated it was still pretty cool

This. The new DLC20 mounted animations for chaos really help Archaon and any generic mounted lords.

There's also the bit where Dorgar is a required piece of wargear for his full set bonus, but that's probably only a factor if the full set bonus is something you'd particularly care about
