Oh no, I have to face that thing!

Great weapons are an option ( they then have strenght 7 ), but they can also have additional handweapons. That'd be ( assuming 2 ranks of 3 ) 21 attacks but 6's to wound. Even if all attacks hit, the to wound rolls would be far above average.

Maybe it was wounded already?

It was, it only had 3 wounds left thanks to my hellcannon. The rolling was a bit lucky, but not extortionately so. On the other hand, maybe I should have rolled more than a 2 for the wounds with my hellcannon, so it balanced out.

By the way, for killing any big "scary" mobster, try a Great Unclean One with Balesword, he'll take a sphinx and a HPA.... at the same time

Artherfalls against treemen give one your knight units flaming attacks, or give a unit of yomen archers flaming attack and watch as it burns from double the wounds taken.

The Flaming Attacks has to penetrate a Toughness of 6, an Armour Save of 3+ and a Ward Save of 5+ (unless they're magical, which in the case of the Bowmen is a firm no). I've shot at a Treeman for 3 consecutive rounds and failed to get a single Wound through unsaved. Even if I did, that would be 2 Wounds out of 6.

Single, monster hunter characters have to contend with a creature that has higher Toughness and Strength, and can stand and shoot a charge with an Artillery Die of Strength 4 hits.
