Haven't really seen what the meta is like much, to be honest. Been liking my double blender build but it's tight at 2,500, not sure how I'd cut 100 points. Struggles against MSU lists that are tough to get points off of. Compared to Swedish though, I'm thinking not being down 400 points against...

Baby blender is also what...100 points more expensive than the wight? Not sure if it's worth that for a dispel scroll. Also not sure what I'd cut to get those points. I'm also just not much a fan of hero vampires. Much of the reason that this list works is the T5 wall along the front of the bus...

So your list is very similar to the one I've taken to the past couple tournaments. You can see how it's treated me HERE and HERE. Not sure where I'd shave 100 points to get it to 2400 though. Would probably put both vampires on barded nightmares, drop the extras off the wight king (they're...

Yeah I saw that earlier. It's basically just a compilation of suggestions people had in a thread on Warseer, enttield something like "What changes would you like to see in 9th." It *may* be that someone from GW was getting game design advice from the community through a sock puppet, but MUCH...

Certainly! General (Vampire Lord): Potion of Strength; Armour of Destiny; Dispel Scroll; Red Fury; Quickblood; Level 2 Wizard (Lore of Vampires); lance; shield; Hellsteed 473 Base (-15), Level 2 (-3), Dispel Scroll (-7), Hellsteed+Red Fury (-6), Quickblood (-5), Red Fury+Quickblood (-20) = -56...

Thanks! Yeah not super thrilled with the double units of vargheists. Two is certainly better than one, due to the way they can overrun into multiple combats and overlap their threat ranges. However I feel like they don't help me in the matchups I really struggle against. My last two matchups I...

Fellbats aren't reliable at killing warmachines. Boltthrowers have ASF attacks, dwarf warmachines are S/T4, Bret trebs have 4 crew. Even direwolves struggle if they don't roll well on their charge roll. They might hold them up for a while but they're not actually all that likely to earn you the...

Tournament Wrap-up: 0-20, 20-0, 20-0, 16-4, 6-14, 5-16 = 67/120 points. Of the other two vampire players, the one who I was really competing with got 0-20'ed then 11-9'ed IIRC, putting him a mere 2 points shy of me. The other one who was way behind start of day two 20'd both his opponents and...

Game 5 - Pregame Analysis: This game sees me paired up against one of the top-ranked players in our region, who represented us at the US Masters last year. Not only that, but he's running a list I'm truly concerned about. Of all of the lists submitted for the tournament, there were only 4...

DAY TWO Sunday morning I there's four of us driving out to the event. Funnily enough, three of us were all within a handful of battle points, and two of us were actually paired up first round. The rankings as of the that morning looked something like this: 1) Chaos Dwarfs (72/80) 2) Demons...

Thanks!! And I'm trying :P. Though the forums aren't helping by eating the post I just made. Argh! Pregame Analysis: So I don't think I quite emphasized enough how gorgeous Ricky's list is, so I'll gush on it a little more. Not only does it have that extremely impressive, entirely...

Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words. I do these reports mostly because I find reflecting on my games really valuable for its own sake, but it's great to know that people appreciate the effort nonetheless :) And without further ado: GAME FOUR: Night Goblins (12.7) Ricky Fischer –...

The bigger argument is to whether "doubling strength" is a "strength bonus." Some people argue that only things such as "+2 Strength" are bonuses, and items that "set" the bearer's strength at a certain level are not "bonuses" per se. Which is crap as far as I'm concerned, but I've seen it ruled...

GAME THREE CONTINUED: Deployment: So based on my opponent's list I knew that his general and level 4 would need to be in with his savages, which would have to be with the trolls. Level 2 and BSB would need to be in with the goblins. When he plunked down his board I saw that the goblins were...

Yeah it was definitely concerning. All those chieftans would make it really difficult for my vampires to score much of anything off his units. I really should have known better than to throw my vargheists in there with them though. I angled them to face his bunker, hoping to use them to...

...continued: HIS TURN TWO: Opponent decides it's time to clear out my chaff and charges in with his cav. All but one of my dog units (which I'd purposely held back, near the bus) get charged by silverdarts. Elsewhere his big gribblies move up outside my line of sight. In magic he cascades...

I'm thinking that the MEs work best in a denial list. Something you can just lumber around the field in a big ball and prevent your opponent from scoring points off of. So I'm thinking you take a big unit of GG, 7-wide with BotB and stack it with a few wights with GWs. Then maybe 4 units of...
