I have been here long enough to know that most threads are interesting and I am convinced with some searching I will find any answer I want to get. But let us assume I want to add some Crypt Horrors. There are may threads about these guys: how deep, how many should I field? Is a horde of them...

I guess you're talking about the Army Specific Tactics, right? I know them and I love and appreciate them but I was actually talking about this thread: https://www.vampirecounts.net/Thread-VC-Tactics-Library-collection-of-useful-tactics-updated-2010-03-03 The last update is from March 2010...

Sorry if this is the wrong place or if it is inappropriate to start a new thread for this but is there any chance that someone with experience (and a lot of free time) can update the collection of useful tactics in the near future? I don't know if it is too much to ask for since it will be very...

No offence, but... not again...:swear:

Great battle reports (or whatever you may call your reflections of your tourny). And very interesting builds there. As I said, I always wanted to try these Hexwraiths and I think I will give them a try. Do you think a list like yours would work with just 2 units of them and a ghoul horde instead...

If I keep the caddie I would have to get rid of one TG in full (and keep both SH bases and also Lore of Death on the Hero Vamp) to add the BSB WK w/ Barded Steed, Nightshroud, Lance and Shield. That leaves me with 51 free points, if I am not mistaken. So best to add one Vagheist?... Still... it...

I dropped the 4th magic level on the Lord and made him a Level 3. The main reason why I took it in the first place was for dispelling reasons but I hope a Level 3 and the scroll will do it for me. I dropped the E-Shield as well. With the 40 points I've got left I bought the Dragonhelm and the...

Currently I am using a smaller list of 1500 points but I want to go 2500 soon (I still have to get the models). I am not a huge fan of Death Star lists because I think it is somewhat obvious what such lists are up to and many players are able to counter it effectively (I was told... never used...

Erm... sure. Of course the allowance for heroes is 250 in a 1000 pts army. I can't remember why I posted such a mistake. Possibly I added the points for MotD to his 235 points in my mind or something (even when he can't take it on the vampire)... So, again, I cry your pardon.

Sounds right and also feels that way, but when I choose the target before rolling for the Spell, why does the description state it that way? Why do I need to check "if there is any viable target" when I have already chosen one that fits? Seems not that obvious to me...

May I ask why? The description states: at the beginning of your magic phase the bearer of the book may sacrifice D3 PD from the pool. If he does so, roll a D6 to determine the spell. Now I need to check, if there is a viable target for the indicated spell... Doesn't this mean that I check for...

Your list isn't legal since you spent 235 points on your hero slot. I would consider dropping Dreadknight because it won't do anything of use. Secondly you can't give a vampire MotD. You can just give it to 1 necromancer oder master necromancer in your army. Like Chaos_Born suggested I would...

It is about the Spell Spirit Leech. All I want to say right here is that it is about your and your target's LD. Look it up in the BRB for a detailed description...

Oh yeah. This discussion is going for so long, I've already started forgetting the beginning posts...

:zombie: Oh, damn it. You are right. Rerolling after hitting on 3+ will increase your total hits for 33.333%. And rerolling after hitting on 5+ for 66.667%... Interesting, but afterwards obvious. Thanks for correcting this...

Yes, of course you are right. But take your money example: you earn 1200, your boss 2400. In any case you are underpaid and your CEO gives you both an increase based on your current salary. Now you earn 1800 and your boss 3600. Do you really want to mess with your CEO? Of course your boss earns...

@ datalink7: Thank you, for writing this so clearly. I hope everyone will be satisfied with this answer. @ Demian: I hope you, too, will accept this. If you have to rely on the poison to auto-wound (because of the high T for example) you will as well get just an increase of 50%. How many in...

Sorry, bat, but you've got some rounding error here: 3.33333333333333333333333/40=0.08333333333333333333333333333 8.88888888888888888888888/40=0.22222222222222222222222222222 0.08333333333333333333333/0.2222222222222222222222222= 0.375 5/40=0.125...

Vectra is right in all points. Of course you inflict more wounds with poison. This is the point about poison anyway, isn't it? But lets assume: Poison, without reroll: 40 attacks, 20 hits (on 4+), 6.66 of which are poison so no roll to wound, 13.33 need to roll > 2.22 wound (T5) = 8.88 wounds...

10 Skellies won't do anything but die quickly even at such low points. The spears on them are useless because you lack of a third rank. So there is no one that can use them anyway. As far as I can see, you have got nothing that can actually kill stuff. 10 ghouls are too less for such a job. I...
