I'd combine the 2 units of black knights into a single unit. You might be able to purchase a magic banner for them too. The spear on the corpse cart seems useless to me, at least I don't get the point. You are going to get a single strength 4 attack versus a single strength 3 attack both of...

I'd argue that calculating combat res and resolving break tests is part of fighting a round of close combat. You don't fight one round of combat then move to the next one and once they are all done go back and figure out combat res and resolve break tests. I'd laugh and pack my stuff up if my...

It definitely says fear in my BRB. Here's a more explained version from the official FAQ Q: Do all forms of Flaming Attacks cause Fear in war beasts, cavalry and chariots? (p69) A: Yes, any model that has a Flaming Attack will cause Fear. This includes unit upgrades, models that only have...

All true except it's chariots not monstrous infantry. I can't imagine an ogre being afraid of fire. This brings up a good point though. Say you were fighting a unit that had flaming attacks with your black knights. Technically the unit causes fear against you even though you are immune to...

As far as I'm aware all other people in the combat that can fight will they just won't be able to attack the two models in the challenge. I can't imagine in a war all of the rank and file people standing around and watching as their generals go at each other. While this may happen to prevent a...

They compliment Ghouls really well if you have a character in the unit or if you take the staff of damnation. I generally take a wight king bsb with the razor standard in a unit of ghouls. They pack quite a punch against almost anything.

Thanks Aramoro. That's what I was getting at.

It would be a good idea except for 10 points cheaper you get +2 strength and therefore a -4 armour save modifier which reduces a 2+ to a 6+. Or you spend 10 points more and you have +3 strength which negates any armour that isn't a 1+. Or you could get neither and just a take a great weapon...

I always have loved ghouls and when the crypt horrors came out I was ecstatic! So I've developed a list that I'd like to try out. Tell me what you think: Lords: 679 Vampire Lord- 424 Red Fury, Aura of Dark, Beguile, Dreadknight Giant Blade, Dragon Helm, Seed of Rebirth, Other Trickster's...

They only have to charge the closest target if you opt not to charge in the first place and then fail your leadership test. At least that's how I'm reading it. "If during the charge sub-phase, a unit that includes one or more Frenzied models could declare a charge, then it must do so unless a...

If they were an extra 2 points per model it would be a different story but as they are only 1 point extra there is little reason to take hw/s. As much as I argued for hw/s I just see the GW as so much better. The unit can stand alone if they have GW. They have a harder time doing that if they...

If a wizard is lowered to lvl zero he still counts as a wizard. It's in the faq. Q: If a Wizard has had his level reduced to 0 does he still counts as a Wizard and can he still attempt to channel Power and Dispel dice? (p28) A: Yes. Problem solved! xD

General rule of thumb I like to follow: when taking a bsb if you are taking a magic banner take the wight king, but if you are taking a generic banner take a vampire. Why? Because the wight king is hard to kill even without equipment and the vampire is easy to kill without equipment. So if you...

I only see this being useful against steam tanks and greater demons of nurgle. I guess it could also work on heirosphynxs (not sure how to spell that one) but poisoned attacks work just as good on them. I think it would work really nice against a steam tank as you are already going to need a 6...

You have to hit and then get a to wound roll of a 6... That's why everyone is saying it's worthless. A very interesting list. I've always liked ghouls and was super stoked to find out about crypt horrors. I just wish the strigoi ghoul king was a little better. Just making him so he could be a...

Check the dwarf faq. If it doesn't say anything I'd say that the rune does nothing since in the old vampire counts book we had a magic banner that did the same thing. When 8th edition came out it got faq'd and we were told to ignore that banner. Unit strength got taken out. It doesn't apply any...

Well profit wise it would be a good move for GW to make BK easily raiseable. I mean most people who buy BK only buy 1 box. If they kept the rule that you can raise multiple I'd definitely buy another box.... or 2. :vampire3: That being said you could not pay me to buy 5 more blood knights now...

I never use it. Probably should have checked it out before I responded. If it says shooting it might not work against magic missiles. Unless it says to treat magic missiles like a shooting attack in the brb. I'm too lazy to go look right now. :tongue: And like I said before; I never use it...

I'd argue that ranged attacks are anything that isn't made in close combat. So I'd say you get the save versus all spells. Unless of course the spell says no armor saves allowed. Isn't this how our flag of bloodkeep works? We get a 4+ ward against all ranged attacks? I interpret that to be...

Hey what do you know. You can edit it! :slapface: I hadn't considered using grave guard. That's a good point. I thought about running ghouls since you have to get core. There's no way around it. Plus ghouls have 1 more attack than grave guard. Although grave guard would stand up a lot better...
