T4 actually makes for good wound mitigation. Until your opponent gets str 6 but most things in the game have str 5 or lower. Additionally, having a 2+ save is way better statistically than the 4+ the foot guard get. And they do get a str of 6 on the charge which is perfect when combined with...

Death star units do seem to be an applicable use of the spell. But then again 6 dice casting the spell to cause that kind of damage isn't very tactical. But having a death star isnt very tactical either IMO. Look out sir.. is this classified as a save? If so is it denied by "no saves...

So im playing Ogre Kingdoms and I roll for my magic phase pick up 6 dice and throw them all into a Purple Sun for an IF result and roll a large template over every model in a gutstar unit. Needless to say only 3 models were left unscathed. So if a template hits every model in the unit...

I would love to try playing with an infantry based list with carts. However, its to damn hard to get a list im happy with for around 2400pts. You pay allot of points to get an infantry unit that has any damage potential and then your basically penalized in 8th for being infantry (killing blow...

Yes it is the book casting it is just the wizard activating it .. That's why the item has a casting value.. its the roll on the item not the caster or you would be able to add the casters levels to it as well.

No they would not.. BT says All Wizards within 12" gain +2 to their casting result..

could be right.. It is hard to argue that they have made something worse than the nurgle list of WoC. Maybe I see it more through jaded glasses since they overall older summon play of VC has changed a TK seems to have received the shaft.

You are not re-rolling the lords ward save. A model is not counted as in base contact with itself. Additionally thats why my army BSB has a re-rollable armor save. Its also worth mentioning I keep these models on opposite corners of the front line so damage from possible miscast (hellheart) is...

Yup it adds up to killer combination.. These are the two Vampires I have started fielding in my BK bus.. Vampire Lord................ LvL 4 Caster Heavy Armor Nightmare (Barded) Great Weapon Nightshroud Talisman of Preservation The Other Trickster's Shard Beguile Quickblood Red Fury...

Well considering most front line combat seems to start in turn 2; one Vanhels should be all that is needed to keep it in range. If not one more turn of movement will get it back in range. Additionally, since faster list like cavalry bus is summoned at caster level plus one having -1 to enemy...

Hmm your right not a bad mathhammer idea at all.

Well Corien if you happen to remember from another of my posts I am currently experimenting with a 1000pt side board for tournament play. Maybe this should make my list.

I would say that against elves or other units/characters who have ASF and high initiative that a corpse cart can mitigate damage. However, its place in lets say a 2400pt generalized tournament list is very limited.

Not to their dispelling rolls I don't think? It quite plainly reads; -1 modifier to their casting rolls. Don't say casting and dispelling rolls.

It just seems to me as each new army book comes out it is a game of how much worse can we make this one over the last one. The first couple books had me hopeful for some true balance but it just spiraled out of control as the books continue to be released IMO.

My last battle with skaven I used two TG to take out the doomwheel. Additionally the TG draw so much fire I was able to get my BK bus uninjured and charging the plague monks who had the furnace. I used my VL to attack and destroy the furnace outright then sat down for the long grind which I...

I toyed with this idea but instead opted for the higher protection of the cloak. Then I gave the lance and str potion to my vampire army battle standard so he to has initiative order attacks of str 7 on the charge than a follow up str 8 if the unit or character im fighting is a touph nut to...

Ya sorry about the mixup in terminology there. I like attacking in initiative order with the vamp as its a fair trade off for having STR 7 every turn of combat and it bypasses the high elf 2+ ward banner. And since your giving other characters in base contact always strike last I can usually...

And have the new edition based on working with those army books ;) If your going to dream dream big :lol:

Yes, but im giving my opponent always strikes last so I go in initiative order (not much beats him) and try getting venhel's cast as much as possible.
