halberd vs sword of might

I am on the fence on what to buy my khorne jug lord- either crimson armour of dargan, talisman of endurance and a sword of might-for 5++ and S6

or crimson armour of dargan, talisman of preservation and a halberd, with S6 and 4++

Are there any unit or heroes who need the lord to have a magical S6 instead of a mundane S6 halberd? I can think of ethereal units and armour of morrslieb- anything else?

You pretty much covered it.

I have a dread of etherals so switched over from halberds to SoM 6 months ago. The extra bip in armor helps as well.

Wraiths/Black Coach
Etheral Slanns and HE mages

all have wreaked my well laid plans.

On the other hand, 4+ WS may be more useful. I guess it depends on your threat environment.

I use Halberds myself, because they're cheaper and don't take up my magic item allowance. Not many Ethereal threats in my Metagame though, and the Knights can handle the ones I do run into.

The extra armor does not factor in as chaos armor and a Jugger already give you a 1+ armor save.


I'd go for the better ward save. But I can see the value in both sides of the argument. I just think the better ward save will be useful in more situations.
