Surgical strike noble

[Botjer]

hi im new here, and im starting up a new HE army after many years of not playing.

so anyways im starting at 750 point army, and i wanted a character on eagle to take out enemy casters or characters.

as my opponents will only be having heroes i was wondering what gear i should give the eaglerider to for example take out a caster in one charge.

Well it's not that easy as any smart opponent will have their character sat next to a unit champion to challenge out your character. I would therefore advise a halberd or a Sword of Might so you are definitely S5 in the second round of combat after killing the champion, and probably a Gem of Courage to help you pass your break test stick around to bash in the enemy the next turn!

So, perhaps something like:
Noble, Halberd
Great Eagle
Armour of Caledor, Gem of Courage
If you can make him a BSB all the better but at 750 points you won't be able to afford it I think.

Your best man is:

Noble, Eagle, Star Lance, Talisman of Loec, Dragon Armour, Shield.
Noble, Eagle, Lance, Talisman of Loec, Dragon Armour of Caledor/Sacred Incense+Enchanted Shield

When in a non-cavalry unit, use Stormies set-up, Sword of Might, Armour of Caledor and Talisman of Loec.

right and for a character that hunts warmachines and skirmishers and flankers and other small units?

I think for any kind of hunting the setup will be about the same. I like Stormie's with the Sword of Might instead of the Halberd. A variation could be:

Noble, Eagle, Helm of Fortune, Dragon Armor, Shield, Sword of Might

The only other viable build is:

Noble, Eagle, Dragon Armor, Enchanted Shield, Reaver Bow, Lance

This one is more for picking things off at range i.e. war machine crew before charging in.
