Awesome good to know! Thanks for the clarification.

My favorite video games as a child was castlevania I and III and the rest of the series. I have always had a soft spot for undead. Egyptians are cool. chariots and such are also cool but I am not that drawn to them in all. But bat swarms, fell bats, GG, Skellies (paint a unit red like in...

Did GW change their recipe for stats for this game in this edition? It has always been for both games since the beginning of time that str 10 vs tough 1 would be a 2+ to wound in all of their games. Unless Fantasy has made an exception for this rule. I have yet to play this edition so I am...

Do you find that when you throw 10 toughness 2 wounds into a block in this edition even though you may have made them strike last that they will just eat your bats for combat rez hitting them on 3's a lot of the times and wounding on 2's or 3's? Or is there some sort of trick to using them?

My vote is Mortis engine. However the Coven throne looks so damn cool. I am certainly going to build one and take it out every now and then with a hero lv vamp on it. I am purchasing two mortis engines. Zombies with +5 regen and skellies with +5, +6, 5+ make for good tar pits me thinks...

I am thinking mainly Skellies and maybe depending on the game a 60+ zombie mob. I was thinking 6x6 for my Skellies as I am not sure that I want that many units being 10 wide. But if I decide to go spears I will certainly go 10x5 with that unit. The idea I had in mind was taking at least 1...

I agree. I just think point for point the wraith brings more to the table. Considering we win our game in combat we need CR whereever we can get it even if it is a 1-2 points. The banshee is really nice for softening up knights for sure and I can see that as her major use. I am just not sure...

I like how we went from an army that with little options to one with many. I am sure as the months go on people will find the "best" internet lists and there will be a "best" build. But at least most if not all of the book is viable. I also enjoy most of all how we are now a buff faction. re...

But can't a wraith do the same thing as a banshee in terms of blocking attacks from coming in, issueing ethereal challenges, and bringing terror? He may not have a scream and sure his damage out put may be less but without factoring in re rolls for hits and wounds which we have a lot of and a...

That is pretty damn funny. My buddy and I are always coming up with those at work so it made me laugh even harder. I wish he played fantasy so I could show him that lol. As for the lord I am not sure about the ghostly howl yet. I am not sold on it.

I have often wondered this from addition to addition. It seems that your average roll on 2D6 plus 2 would be a 9. And you can effectively make that a 10 if you are around a unit affected by aura of dark majesty. So what are we really killing with this? Most units will have ld 8-9. so you...

That's actually really cool. Last time I did VC's I used bret models for my zombies. This time I am going with empire guys. It makes them look that much cooler.

Yeah I know. I wish everything mounted with nightmares was ethereal lol. But I guess that would be pretty insane. I picked up some characters to paint today and a few other things for my Mordhiem gang. box o Zombies box of ghouls box of state troops box of militia Krell white lord Isabella...

Nice thanks guys. I intend to collect the entire line. We really need new bat models lol. Yeah I suppose 200 zombies is excessive. I'll start small and add on as I see fit. And hex wraiths are in my future for sure. How are black knights nowadays? Ethereal on our Cav options seem really...

I got the book a few days ago and I poured through it several times. The most important thing I can take away from it is that we have more viable options. It isn't just going to be ghoul hammer with a side of DW. Or GG death star. All the options seem not only solid but they play o each...

I noticed the same thing and was hoping it is because they are getting redone like most other models have. However as for zombies I doubt they will get rid of that plastic kit. I know a lot of people who buy boxes of bretonians or empire soldiers to mix bits to make unique looking zombies. I...

Hey guys and Ghouls....sorry lol I have been out of the fantasy loop for a few years and have yet to play a game in this edition. I used to play vampire counts but I sold my army thinking I would never play again....well I was wrong, the models are just too cool. As I have not played in...

Well I grew up loving Castlevania as my all time favorite video game series so Von Carstein it is for me! They are all unique and very interesting and I do enjoy each theme. I remember the first time I did Vampire counts when I first got into fantasy like 15 years ago I painted a red skeleton...

Hey guys, Just the other day I was in my FLGS and I saw the new vampire counts book. Over the last few months I have noticed all the really impressive plastic kits and re-sculpts GW has been putting out for Fantasy. I have been tempted to pick it back up but there have been many factors in...
