Wraiths as mentioned. Terrorgheist, and blocks like GG with GW's with the BoB and ghouls with a wraith or combat vamp or both. Don't forget we have access to striking first more often than not, and the fear bomb, and re rolling wounds, and re rolling attacks. Chances are a couple of things...

I think there are a few ways to run Skeletons with spears and effectively expect them to preform. 1) you need a mortis engine so you are at least getting that 6+ most of the time that you lost from parry. Two engines is even better. 2) You need to play the magic game. You have to make...

What type of restrictions do you use when you play with your group? I find though the hex wraiths are more expensive they bring the most to the table. I have seen them do amazing things in the tournament I was watching my friend win the other day lol. I also have been tempted to go varghiest...

by flank i literally meant get a flank with them to take away their stead fast.

I just realized that you won't out rank a block with these guys. So they will be steadfast and if you aren't breaking people on the charge than the knights are not doing their job. So what is the point of cav in this edition? You certainly aren't buying them deep. I was thinking of running a...

Hey guys if anyone has the 3 swarming banshee's from the mortis engine/coven throne kit I will gladly take them off your hands. I am trying to collect at least 4 sets so I can use them as spirit hosts! I am willing to pay good money for them via paypal preferably. Just PM me if you have any...

I don't think it should even be an option to no take lances. Cav are designed to get the charge and they need to make that charge count! if you play a block of 6x2 12 strong that is 12 attacks min at str 6. What is str 4 doing for you? At that point you may as well just opt for GG. I'll pay...

Yes but what I am trying to say is you need to make sure you show up with equal to or more ranks. I'm not saying have 8+ ranks. But 5 is no good. Against many armies that have at least 5 ranks you are chancing it. And many armies play deeper. It depends on your meta but you need to make...

We gain no benefit by being deeper in ranks than our opponent? Does that not stop them from getting stead fast and becoming stubborn? Is that alone not enough reason to play deeper ranks with out cheep infantry?

I believe the OP was looking for effectiveness not visual effects lol. But either way 5 5x10 columns is 25 across but is not 50 deep. It is still only 10 deep. I am unsure of what you were trying to get at with that equation.

I was thinking of running a 40 man unit skellies with spears 10x4. But There are a few things that made me change my mind about running horde for VC's: 1) you would have less ranks deep making it more difficult to ignore stead fast units as chances are they would have more ranks than you. 2)...

I like how everyone has a different idea. I never see the same spirit hosts. I see a lot of people take extra fantasy models from other armies and make them ghostly but they are always different enough. Those are some good ideas mentioned. I think I am going to make a scenic base with the...

I agree with the above statements. However on the note of the "rule Nazi" this is a fuzzy area. In a game of movement when people botch movement or wheel through their units or other type of shenanigans I WILL call them on it. Keep in mind once a unit is moved it is impossible to move it back...

So I was wondering what I was going to use as spirit hosts until I saw the mortis engines 3 banshee's. I think this is a great idea for spirit hosts. Just use all three for one base and have them swarming around a grave stone or tree or whatever you like. Problem is getting extra bits...

New spirit hosts please. I can't remember the last time I saw someone use those models. Most people paint up 4 infantry sized models and paint them ethereal. I think until we get rid of the trick o treat ghosties this is our only real option lol.

So I looked it up and asked a few of my friends who play today. If you have a lv 4 and say two lv 2's you can technically have a repeat spell in there. But you are suppose to spread it out until you can't anymore. This is what I was told. Also I watched my friends in a double tournament play...

I am new to 8th edition. Why could you not cast it multiple times with different casters? can you not roll the same spells? I haven't gotten that far into the rule book yet.

I purchase my skeletons for $18.31 plus free shipping :tongue: I was just listing how much this sites battalions go for. $77.70 Which is nice.

Some idea for your theme: Bretonian peasants and zombies used for your zombies as I mentioned in another one of your posts. Black coach could be a fallen hero/lord that was important. Obviously your heros are vamps and wights Black knights as your hard hitters. One unit of blood knights as...

I've made my best looking zombies out of bretonian peasants and zombies 50/50 mix. If you really get into it you even start snipping and green stuffing but for the most part you can just buy a box of each and mix and match. This will theme well with your idea!
