    Vampire Counts: Army Book Overview

    I appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us! I have to say, this is exactly what I had in mind when I asked for such a thread. You are fantastic, Johnny! And thanks for spending your time on this!

    Hexwraith Double Drive-by

    Hmmmm, not so sure about that. Spectral Hunter states that it works just in the Remaining Moves sub-phase. Van Hel's movement is just made like a move during that phase but since you are in the magic phase (not Remaining Moves) I think it is allowed to move through units but no hits are resolved.

    Heinrich as General?

    Why is the list invalid? Normally the general is the model with the highest LD. The restrictions for undead states that your general has to be a wizard. This excludes banshees, cairn wraiths and Wight kings... If Kemmler is the wizard with the highest LD, he is the general. No? Is the rule...

    General and unit-specific tactics collection

    Oh sorry, Johnny. I didn't know you are already working on this whole thing... So forgive my impatience. I am keen on reading your collection of wisdom in (hopefully not too far) future!

    No one interested any more? Sorry to start again but I hope this thing will get to something sometime... I wonder why not many new player are interested in his since it would help a lot I reckon...

    1000 points vs ogres

    Fear bomb is a tactic that combines Aura of Dark Majesty (-1 LD to enemy units within 6 in), Fear Incarnate (enemy rerolls successful fear tests) and the Screaming Banner (take fear tests on 3D6 and discard the lowest result). Do you see where this is going? For the most time it is used with a...

    The Cursed Book - Is it all that?

    I have to admit it never came to my mind to ask if a lore attribute takes effect after casting a bound spell but even now that I know I think there won't be that much difference with the cursed book. Life Leaching is just activated when damage is done with a spell, therefore never with the book...

    Velmates' Painting Log

    Double post in my own thread should be okay, I think. I just finished my Dire Wolves and before it takes me as long to upload them as my Zombies, I will post the pictures of them now. Maybe have a look at the manes. Each and every single hair is painted on its own; so no drybrushing here.

    Velmates' Painting Log

    I've painted my Vampire Lord/Vampire during the summer as well. Here the picture: Can't say much about her except that I don't like Finecast models. Every now and then some part ist twisted or has some ugly holes from the casting process in it...

    The Cursed Book - Is it all that?

    I think the question was: Do bound spells from a specific lore trigger the lore attribute of the lore the spell is from? Interesting question. I couldn't find anything in the BRB... Anyone?

    Velmates' Painting Log

    What do you mean with how I did the black? The main colour is just good ol' Chaos Black primer. The first highlight I always did with Charadon Granite to soften the step to Codex Grey. Now that my Granite is all used up I settled for Skavenblight Dinge. It is not a Base but since it is very dark...

    Velmates' Painting Log

    A long time has passed since my last picture post. During the summer I have finished my first 20 Zombies and I want to share the pictures of them now. Later today I will post pics of individual minis as well. Until then, you can (hopefully) enjoy the unit as a whole.

    Question about multiple Blood Knight raising.

    Hopefully this ugly stuff that they have put in a microwave oven and are now selling as Spirit Hosts... Frankly, I could live with the actual Zombie sculpts. They look at least like something (even if it is not much). That said I hope we get new ones... I ever did since I first started VC in...

    Scream-Cheese, 2500 Points

    He already has 5 banshees as heroes. The problem with Doom and Darkness is that your opponent will know what you're list is up to and will shut it down if possible. Not that the screams aren't useful then, I just wouldn't rely on the spell.
