Mournfang Cavalry (Great Weapons)

are an melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Ogre Kingdoms (DLC).
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Favoured Mournfang Cage
==Description==
There is a fortune to be made as a mercenary for a young Ogre with his own Mournfang, and every spring a few stout lads from the upper slopes will join together and sell their services as the heaviest shock cavalry in the known world. Although whole units of Mournfang Cavalry can usually secure the victory of any battle they are engaged in, these brutes and their gigantic steeds do not come cheap. The Tyrants or paymasters of the victorious side often note a profound feeling of loss when the spoils of war are shared out.
==Attributes==
* Monstrous Cavalry
==Strategy==
Mournfang Cavalry with Great Weapons are an excellent unit for breaking up tight defensive formations with their incredibly damage on the charge. The two weaknesses with Great Weapon Mournfangs however need to be considered: First they, like almost everything in the Ogre Kingdoms, do not like units with anti-large plus charge defence or charge reflection. Secondly is their price point, Mournfang Cavalry with Great Weapons exist in between regular Mournfang Cavalry and Crushers with Great Weapons. The price gap between vanilla and great weapon Mournfangs is enough for a spell/item/ability upgrade on a lord or hero, while Great Weapon Crushers are quite a bit more expensive, they're superior in all aspects except for speed and melee defence which are equal between the two units. If Great Weapon Mournfang Cavalry are just charging artillery crews or lightly armoured troops, that extra cost for their armour piercing is being wasted. If the match-up is likely to pivot on breaking elite units with heavy armour, then the choice is whether a pair of Crushers with Great Weapons or a trio of Great Weapon Mournfangs for 250 more are better.
