Yes. He wounds anything on a +4 and gets rid of its armor save. Same goes for vehicles.

40K; rending that works on a 4+ vs non-vehicle models. if he does a rending wound and you fail your invulnerable, you die instantly! (chop!)

fantasy; killing blow that works on a 5+ coupled with hatred IIRC...

so yep he's pretty damn killy! but look at his stat-line; pretty average for most HQ's/hero level characters... we've seen it most times so far in 40K that skulltaker will absolutely punk that chaplain, but he's typically squished in return as he only hs I5!
basically, he'll kill that 1 character you need him to kill and then bite the dust shortly after...

no he's a totally different story against say, a unit of meganobs who are actually really vulnerable to him due to their lower I!

cheers!
