    Found a use for zombies

    Do you mind me borrowing this setup against Dark Elves? Saturday I will play against two very different DE armies, one with a bunch of Hydras and flying lords, the second with more core, xbows and powerful magicians. If you would like to hear how thing goes I can always post some kind of report...

    Who carries your BSB?

    The only reason i would choose to have a vampire bsb, is when I want to have him ethereal for small fun games to make them less fun.

    2.5k VC Tournament List

    I have seen builds without infinite hatred on foot with the scout ability. They die faster, but they also are closer to their targets. Have you play tested different cannon hunters yet? Let us know how it goes. Perhaps 30 is to small? Mine 30 models of ghouls seem to get wiped away pretty fast...

    2.5k VC Tournament List

    Just want to mention the last game i played against DE with Blood Knights / Blood Drinker. Charged in on Black Guards with +5 Ward (That round) after two rounds of punishment with Gaze of Nagash and Wind of Undeath there where 12 models to kill. I figured this could be a walkover first turn as...

    2.5k VC Tournament List

    1 / 36 rolls you will fail the stupid test (with re-rolls LD10), and guess what. It will happen at the worst time :-) The chance are small but still there, and you eliminate it with the cost of 10 points. And the shield is a nice backup to, but for the cost of leaving out anything stupid I...

    Hell Pit Abominations

    They have magical attacks if you spend 15 extra points on them, named spike i believe. Anyhow, against skaven the most fight will be pretty even since their slaves and clanrats have about the same stats as our troops. Ghouls seem to work superb. And for the Abominations you have knights. They...

    Switching from 6th to 8th

    8th edition have given you the opportunity to play with melee vamps, even though magic is a bit to strong atm. But for us it not what it used to be because you lose concentration if you miss a spell for that turn (thinking of IoN) I bet there are a few more that would like to write a bit more...

    What do Undead use Generals Leadership for?

    I think we should mention Combat Reform to, if you loose a combat you may use your unmodified leadership test avoid another rear / flank combat. And add more models into the combat if you choose to do so.

    Scout / Vanhels Danse

    Lets see if I got a answer on my question then: VHD used on a scout deployed as a scout cannot make a charge the first turn because of: "all the normal movement rules." rule. (You still have the charging bonuses from VHD, so it does make sense. If you choose to look at it like that) When I...

    Scout / Vanhels Danse

    If you are 24" apart you should be able to get the charge in the first turn, that is exactly 24" inches...

    Scout / Vanhels Danse

    The other day I played again, against my DE friend and I tried to do this maneuver: I had 50 Ghouls with Ghoulkin marching 16 Inches first round. I then moved my Lord (Scout) inside the Ghoul Unit and did cast Vanhels danse on them to get a charge on a Cold one Chariot and a huge block of...

    Hydra - Why do I find them so terrible at times?

    All my graveguards died with my Battlestandard from hes flaming and regular attacks before the stomp arrived. So we did play it correct. We choose not to play with named characters since their to imbalanced it seems, we enjoy it more this way. This is more like a all in tactic, very...

    Hydra - Why do I find them so terrible at times?

    Yesterday I had 9 Grave Guards and 2 Wight Kings with Great Weapon and a Vampire Lord with Blood Drinker, re roll to miss and Red Fury charging into a Hydra. What happened was this: My Lord hits first, nothing. The two small frenzied fluff guys hits back and 2 Grave Guards dies. (That's okay me...

    Fire magic - Possibilities!?

    I know this dont have anything with your question, but I will like to write something about it anyhow :) If this worries you, then Blood Drinker combined with Red Fury are a superb option, the only downside is if your enemy show up with a lvl 4 mage and the dagger. You MUST raise models in...

    Killingblow / Regen

    If you have your lord inside a unit with The Drakenhoff banner, and he is wearing The Cadaverous Curiass. Is it possible to make the regeneration save, or will you only be able to use a regular armour save? Dont remember which page, but it says that you are not able to make regeneration saves...
