okay, i was playing 2.5k game this morning. and my opponent was playing chaos. he went first and did not move. he went to cast the first spell. it was the infernal... something-gate (please correct me i cant remember what it is called) and he got it off. and he rolled a double six for hits. then he rolled a five and a.... six of course who ever plays chaos knows what that means. my unit is destroyed what i did not tell you is the fact that it was my 50 man unit of ghouls with a vampire in. after that it was my turn i moved up and rolled for my magic dice, i rolled a 1 and 2. then after that i rolled one dice for my corpse cats spell and got it off by rolling a 5 then here came the bad news. i rolled a double one now another thing i forgot to tell you is the fact last turn my opponent cast a spell that means any doubles make a miscast... now that means not only did i fail to cast anything but a corpse cart that turn but i had a miscast.. on my vampire lord. meaning i have no casters left bar one vampire with one spell... form the lore of metal. so i can summon anymore. i have terrible to cast and dispel and a fair chunk of my army is dead. that was a bad turn.

That is a horrible way to start a battle, I need to say however, your vamp should of been able to summon with the vamp with metal, all vamps know the summon spell no matter their lore.
Its a natural affinity with the dead.
Did the lord get sucked into the warp?

oh... i thought it was only if you take lore of vampires, anyway he did not last long he got charged by a large unit of chosen (the only way i managed to beat them was an ethereal coach up the "fadoodle hole"

Well at least its something you now know to take to any new games in the future.

Double 6 is d3 power levels, if you were level 4 you would now of been level 1 mate. your lord would still be a wizard.

When he lost the three levels, he was still a wizard...a level 0 wizard, but still a wizard accoeding to the FAQs

That's still a pretty rough first turn though. I have never had one that bad, but I have seen some pretty horrible ones. My friend played an empire gunline army one time (4 cannons, 2 mortars, and a hellstorm rocket battery), and proceeded to misfire with all of them except a cannon. That cannon ball didn't even bounce though. ^_^ With all of those misfires, all were destroyed except for a mortar.

In another game I saw, a player tried to cast the demon spell that gives you more power dice. He rolled two of them and got double 1's (7th ed), then of course rolled double 1's again for the miscast. So in the first turn, he had his super all knowing level 4 wizard blow its self up asking for more power dice.

Yes he would of been a wizard if he had lost all power levels which means he can still channel magic dice as well but no casting.....

Magic these days is not as much fun, I miss the double 1 is miscast, double 6 is your epic.

I still think magic is fun, but I do miss the double 1's being a miscast...I still have a slight panic every time I cast and see double 1's in the mix. ^_^
