One thing I've been wanting to try is the +1 wound on a vamp lord. I used to use that on my dwarves all the time and it usually paid for itself. Has anyone given that a go? Reason I think it has good play in vamps is because of the methods you have to get back wounds (lore of vamps, the hunger)...

I think people specifically mean a tourney-like setting where you don't know your opponent. If you have X number of opponents which could be just about anything, you have to rig your army to face multiple threats, not just one condition. As VC have more anvils then hammers, a good hammer will...

Why not just use the tried and true VC method and just zombie it? If you can tie it down with zombies, then in theory you have a huge advantage everywhere else. There's also the (name eludes me) ruby ring I think that casts a fireball. Might not work great but if you get a hit the HPA can't...

Note: this is specifically not around rank-and-file, as things like GG have steadfast and horde rules that things like crypt horrors will never use. This also excludes things like spirit hosts which work well solo. Not worrying about points to make this easy, say you have a choice between 3...

Hello all, I've just signed up for this site, and I'm trying to get back into the game after a bit of a hiatus. Q: is there a post or sticky with the 8th edition thoughts on each unit? I've seen some posts (esp 7th ed ones) but was wondering if there was something comprehensive for 8th ed.

Mine, true story: I was playing Dwarves, my friend was DE; his first turn, his cold one riders march move and are about 10 inches from my flame cannon. His army line is a straight line, his left (the cold one riders) to closest to me, his right side farther back. My first turn, flame cannon...
