RE: Two Mortis Engines and a Horde og Ghouls Apologies for the typo in the title. I didn't catch it till it was too late. :slapface:

Is this remotely doable? I really like the idea to be honest. Ghouls with a 5+ regen save. I've made a couple lists revolving around this strategy. You place a horde of ghouls down and stick a mortis engine on either side. You can then place whatever you want on the outside. I have looked at...

You have virtually no magic versus 4 magic heavy lists... I'd consider upgrading your vampire lord to level 4 if only for the extra dispel power. It might save you against all the magic that will be coming your way. The black coach doesn't absorb dice like it used to. I didn't know if you were...

I normally will run my Vampire Lord as a level 4 caster as well as a character hunter. For vampiric powers I take red fury, aura of dark majesty, and beguile. Dreadknight is optional. I then give him the ogre blade, other trickster's shard, and talisman of preservation. Give him mundane armor...

Think about it. You are playing empire and he gets off the glittering robe spell on his greatswords. these things are tough when they have a 2+ armor save. He dares you to charge him. Instead you just throw this spell at him and watch his unit get cut in half. Great stuff.

I never take ghouls without bringing the staff of damnation along. Period. Another good combo with them is the razor standard. But other than that bit of my personal playing style your list seems like it'd be pretty good. the only other thing I might change is getting beguile on you lord instead...

Was it obvious what they meant with the greedy fist working with ranged attacks? I think we all should have realized then that we can't just assume what GW intended. Think about it. If the ogre kingdoms have a cheap trick like that why can't we raise more than 1 blood knights?

I run a similar build only instead of quickblood I'll take aura of dark majesty and beguile. You could then take summon creatures of the night. Also I'd consider dropping the enchanted shield for the talisman of preservation. This will make your vampire lord near invincible. Right now your lord...

I'll try running two units of zombies instead. I sure wish I had more zombie models though. I only have a total of 80 so the units will max out at 40 a piece. But that shouldn't matter I hope. I'm not too sold on the vampire in the skeletons yet but at the same time it really depends what army...

It's all about the razor standard in a unit of ghouls for me. I'm with ya on that one eggspr. Combine it with the staff of damnation and... You get the point.

I'm with the WS 1 group. I get the argument that the -1 is always there but I don't agree with it. The negative modifier is still there, you just lowered the WS to wherever it was to 1. I liked the point brought up about getting +1 WS. If you failed a fear test would you then have 2 WS? Of...

They did reverse the faq that magic resistance was added to your ward save for miscasts if I remember right. It used to be that you could do it but now you can't. They should definitely reverse this or even just change it from ranged attack to shooting attack. That would be a lot more fair and...

After looking at it again I'd have to change my assumption. You would not get a flaming scream since in the faq you don't get any benefits from special rules to stomp attacks. Taking this into account I think we can all agree that it wouldn't work.

Honestly I never planned on using it since I never take banshees anyways. I just wanted to know what people thought about it. I do think it's odd that you can have flaming bullets but I guess it isn't so odd if you consider you can have flaming swords and arrows. I mean if you can have that why...

So I played against an empire opponent the other day and he completely destroyed me with his gunline because of sneaky trick. He took a unit of handgunners and stuck his bsb with the banner of eternal flame in with them. He shot my large crypt horror unit with them first and only did 1 wound...

Take ghouls and crypt horrors. The tally will affect their poisoned attacks as well as his (it maikes it so poisoned attacks auto wound on a 4+). Another unit you could try would be knights. He'll get a lot of wounds on you due to poisoned attacks but his low strength will do nothing to your...

Unfortunately the staff of damnation does not trigger rigour mortis on the corpse cart as it's not a spell from the lore of vampires. I definitely wish it did though. Glad you posted this. I had overlooked the rod of flaming death. I will definitely try running it in future games now. The...

I realised he would be a cannonball magnet but I just don't have anywhere to put him and I really like using the corpse cart. If I were to take him off the corpse cart I'd need to put all 3 of my character in with the grave guard to keep the necromancer out of combat. That's definitely not what...

I generally only take the staff of damnation if I'm using ghouls, crypt horrors, or blood knights. These units benefit tremendously from the extra attack. I might also try it if I had a combat vampire or vampire lord. Extra attacks for them are always welcome. I tend to like to take the book...

I always just figured they'd be fine without the extra strength since they have killing blow. Works on most things and the stuff it doesn't work on is why you stick a character in the unit. The models look nicer with the hand weapon and shield anyway. Plus you lose an armour save if you take gw...
