I have actually play tested the kind of rule with additional attacks based on ranks that Chaos Born proposes above , and the main problem with it is that in encourages the five models wide, with maximum number of ranks all too much. With no limit on the number of additional ranks, you soon start...

How about something like this special rule: Relentless Tide!: Zombies press on, without any concern for themselves or their fellow zombies at all, making them a very daunting prospect to face if the Zombies outnumber their foes. A Zombie Horde unit counts as having the Fight in Extra Ranks...

Hey Thorin. I think the Horde name is more appropriate, although I can see that for some it might be confusing. The thing is, "Host" is used by spirit hosts already for one thing, and I still think "horde" is the most appropriate word to use. Btw, I'll make a slight rule change to the zombies...

Yes, they are a bit of a glass cannon, but the fact that they are skirmishers combined with the Immortal special rule, will give them some protection, as will the Initiative of 6 when they get int close combat vs smaller units. I was thinking somewhere around 30 points/model initially, so we...

Added a new Lahmian exclusive unit to the Rare section, the Lamhian Furies. Point cost have not yet been worked out. Models are available from http://www.fenryll.com/product.php?id_product=524 This model, will be a character model for them as well...

Welcome :) I'm sure you can find some advice to help improve your game statistics on the site.

I absolutely agree with Bounce here. Every piece of Zombie fluff ever written, has their main advantage being the numbers to slowly surround and overrun the enemy formation, but the game mechanics of the zombies don't take this into account at all. We now field them in nice orderly marching...

Another late night at work here. Inspiration is always nice Thorin. :) Some key points on special characters for the project in general: One of my key principles with special characters, is that they should add something unique to an army, i.e, something one can't get by making ones own...

Yes. This "change" was very much intentional. The Von Carsteins are the only ones with a proper pseudo-province to rule, and they title themselves counts. Have you ever heard about a vampire above Vlad/Mannfred in "standing"? I for one sure haven't, and this is why I decided to switch things...

Thorin: The coven Throen will most certainly be Lahmian option without Neferata as well. It just seems a bit silly if she dosn't have the option, being their queen and all. :) I'm not really sure what I#m going for as far as the "ballista" option yet. I'd like for there to exist a model that...

Hey Thorin You are indeed correct, in that the Black Coach is one of the few "general" rare options available to all bloodlines. The reason I want to keep it this way, is that first of all, due to its stats and special rules etc, it is the most "fitting" place for it, and by making it a...

Well, this is embarrassing... I listed Ghouls as Skirmishers, which is actually NOT what I have done for the Bloodline Legacies Project.. It's been a while since I did the goulos, and I just remembered wrong. Yes, they are a proper cheap horde unit, but designed so that they will not compete...

Hey Thorin I haven't decided how I will resolve the issue of introducing "champion" lvl Vampires for the Necrarchs yet, but what I am pretty sure of, is that there will indeed be some sort of apprentice option, but overall the necrarch list will be designed so that it will together with the...

There are lots of units I'd like to see added or redone for the VC list, and in the Bloodline Legacies project I have done just that. This is offcourse, something I hope GW will do as well for the 9.ed in the future. Here are some of the units added/changed: -Vampires divided into 5...

Weibz: If you are expecting ot face a VC army, then yes, I agree, there are things you can do when designing your own are that can help mitigate this somewhat. However, this becomes far less of an option if you are going blind into a tournament. Just pointing out that we have to keep both...

BBB: Well, yes. There is always the chance to dispel, but it does't change the fact that if successful, you probably get more out of this 6+ spell than any other casting at any remotely similar value in the game. Also, the fact that everyone is paranoid enough that they always have to plan for...

I'm not claiming they are the best unit ever Johnyy, just that the combination with the incredibly easy re-raise is much too good, especially once ou star getting units of 8+ models, or include a Lord/hero in the unit. Some armies always have stuff that can take them on, such as Empire...

I miss a lot of the old stuff as well DDM, but a lot I am happy to see go, purely for balance reasons. 1. I agree on the march bubble. In larger games, especially in games with random deployment, you might actually loose the game in the deployment phase, through no fault of your own. That's not...

Johnny: No offense, but in this case, I'd rather listen to the arguments from the other side of the table. :) It is terribly easy to argue on behalf of one's own army book after all. I am a VC player, but to the possibility of raising 5 Blood Knights on a casting roll of a measly 6+ would...

As I said, I do agree that we could use more vampires ("chamipion" lvl) in the list, to flavor it some more, especially if more of the old bloodline elements were brought back. The problem with the 8.ed book (one of them at least), is that they've made vampires so generic, that only a very few...
