    Aura of Dark Majesty

    Just to clarify I'm talking about 2 different enemy units. One unit has the general in it and some other guys. The other unit does not have the general in it. Both the generals unit and the other unit are within 6" of the vamp with the aura. The other unit without the general will have a...

    Aura of Dark Majesty

    Thanks I went to the main FAQ and found this. Page 10 main FAQ 1.5, bottom right corner. Q. If an enemy unit is affected by the Doom and Darkness spell, and the unit is within the general’s Inspiring Presence radius, does the Leadership value conferred by Inspiring Presence suffer the...

    Zombies am I missing something?

    I run 4 units of 20 zombies, with 3 casters (2 level 1s and a level 3), with 2 mortis engines. I get 1 or 2 invos off per turn, creating 8d6+12 to 16d6+16 zombies per turn. At turn 3 I have 4 blocks of 60+ zombies with regen 5. Thay are worth a massive 70pts each. Sometimes I get raise dead...

    Summoning Zombies more conveniently

    I was doing the dice thing, and I still do sometimes. However, I ran into a few problems with using dice. *Sometimes I would accedently pick them up and roll them. *One of the guys I play with really watches the 1" rule, and its sometimes hard with dice to tell where the unit ends. *With dice...

    Summoning Zombies more conveniently

    Right now I run 3-5 (usually 5) units of zombies. And sometimes I get raise dead and make more units. So when I have 5 units of zombies and get an invo off that effects them all, it takes a lot of game time to add 5-15 zombies (I run a level 3 caster) to each unit. What I started doing is...

    So how is the new book Performing?

    Some things I've learned are. screaming banner isn't that useful, the +1 movement is better to get me across the field. The screaming banner usually doesn't work on the deathstar, which is what that unit fights. Beguile is awesome and every vamp should take it. -1 leadership is also very good...

    So how is the new book Performing?

    That's fine and all, but not much of an analysis. Give us a breakdown on your list, what worked and what didn't, please. Sure The list has changed a bit between games, except at the gt. 1 Wight King (Battle Standard Bearer), 1 Dragonhelm 1 Seed of Rebirth 1 The Other...

    So how is the new book Performing?

    Right now I'm at 8 wins and 1 loss with the new vamp rules. 5 of the games were at a GT in Texas, where I lost the 5th game to a VC player using the old book (the GT allowed both the new and old book). I've played Old vamp -- loss 2 TK - Won Skaven - Won Warriors -- Won Lizards -- Won Orcs --...

    Winds of death and skirmishers

    Thats a good point. Thanks. My group has been playing it that skirmishers always count as 0 ranks. I'll bring up the cannon and bolt throwing thing next time.

    Winds of death and skirmishers

    I disagree. Winds of death does not hurt skirmishers. Just like some of the fire spells don't hurt them. BRB page 77 under Light Troops. "Skirmishers always count as having 0 ranks..."

    Scream into combat

    Can the Terroguist Scream into combat (same for banshee, sword, mortis engine,...) that they are not engaged with? For: The scream attack may be used on a unit within 8” in line of sight. That is the exhaustive list of targeting prohibitions, and the second one is waived if the unit is in...

    How did Blood Lines used to work

    I've been playing vamps for about 2 years now, and I saw in the rumors that Bloodlines may return. So I have a question to someone who has been playing for a while. How did Bloodlines work? Functionally what kind of rules did they have?

    Mantic Undead Revenant Cavalry

    I was thinking of getting some Undead Revenant Cavalry. But I wanted to see if anyone had seen them and what they thought of them. Are they a "good" size, and do they look good? For reference I love the ghouls and zombies, to the point that I'm replacing my GW ones for the Mantic ones...

    Necromancers

    A necro is a cheap dispel scroll and guarantees you VDM.
