    2K Vamps Vs Orcs/Gobos, Lizards, Empire, H.Elves

    Hey, I haven't watched your list in detail, but what comes to my mind is: a) since you can't take a shield and the enchanted shield on your wight king you probably wanted to say heavy armour and enchanted shield; b) you can't use the dragon helm twice per army. Sorry for not posting any other...

    Ghoul Kings - I just don't get it.

    Sure and agreed. Maybe I should have told that I am not that new, so I know about the enemy characters having some kind of ward save. But still: most of you use the SGK to slaughter RnF. And most units dont get a ward so easily... So you just take OTS for the possibility of getting in a fight...

    Ghoul Kings - I just don't get it.

    Sorry when I missed something but I am fairly new to the whole game and have never used the SGK for now. But what is it about the Other Trickster's Shard? Is it really worth taking?

    Crypt Horror Question

    On the page with all the necromancy spells. The Invocation of Nehek says that all infantry gains back W6+lvl and all others (except vampiric, ethereal and large targets, which get back 1) get back 1+lvl. So Monstrous Infantry gets back 1+lvl...

    Invocation question?

    No, in fact it's not. It says that a MODEL with the vampiric, ethereal or large target special rule only gets one wound back. Above it says: "infantry gain D6 plus the caster's wizard level" and further "OTHER troop types targeted gain 1 plus the caster's wizard level in wounds". Since Blood...

    Velmates' Painting Log

    Hmmm. Yes, you are right. In fact I wanted to sponge some chipped-paint-effect on the colored shields with some blackish color and then give those spots a Boltgun Metal finish (dunno how the new Boltgun is named). Seems I forgot that entirely. Thanks, dude.

    Velmates' Painting Log

    Some pics of some individual skeletons. Sorry for some of them being a bit blurry. It comes from the depth of field of my DSLR (I did recognize it too late that the aperture wasn't set up correctly). Enjoy. Some RnF: The champion: The standard (bearer): And...

    Velmates' Painting Log

    Okay, so, now that I've got this working, here my first unit of skellies: At the moment I am working on 20 Zombies, 3 Crypt Horrors, 5 Dire Wolves, a Spirit Host and my General (actually it's the model of Isabella). The Zombies nearly finished.

    Velmates' Painting Log

    Many many thanks for the compliments to all of you! I appreciate it! As for the eyes: In fact you can hardly see it on the model physically but the black framing of the eyeball gives it this great expression (that I discovered, too, only at the photo). First I did the white of the eye too...

    Velmates' Painting Log

    Thank you very much for the first positive feedback! All in all, I painted Warhammer minis for about 10 years but with some major breaks. I started with Dark Elves and went to Vampire Counts after a few years but then quit for a year or so (sadly I didn't even got a single unit VC finished)...

    Velmates' Painting Log

    So... I don't know what to say right here. I will just keep adding the pictures of my finished units or some single models... (but be aware: I am in fact a real slow painter... lack of time and so on...) If you have some questions, feel free to ask;) For the beginning, my necromancer...

    Problems with GW Matte Finish

    You mean you don't spray the minis the day after, right? And, no, I've no air-conditioning at my place. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I think, some have this problem, some not but I still couldn't figure out, what's the cause. I've been to a DIY-store and got a spray from there. It...

    Tactic worth trying: GG, Bats and CC?

    Nah, I was not going to use it, since just started playing and do not want to paint 50 of them. I think other play styles more interesting and less obvious... For the HE and ASF: as long as they are not using GW thesy just loose their reroll to hit as stated above.

    Problems with GW Matte Finish

    I live in Vienna, Austria. But as I've said, I've tried different weather situations. Dry summer days in the shadow without wind or at night, cloudy days like today with a relative humidity of about 65% (which, honestly, cannot be too moist except the sprays are made for desert conditions) and...

    Problems with GW Matte Finish

    Hey everyone! The main thing first: my matte finish layer always turns "frosty" white, if you know what I mean. It is like a rough white layer, destroying the miniature completely. I know that this problem occurs to many people and I have browsed hundreds of forums to get some ideas that...

    Tactic worth trying: GG, Bats and CC?

    If it was a horde, they would have been able to attack with 5 ranks: 1st an second as usual, 3rd for spears, 4th for horde and 5th for Elvish Discipline.

    Tactic worth trying: GG, Bats and CC?

    That is of course true but since the bats give the opponent ASL, you will hit first. And I know that the staff members are not the best reference. I just wanted to know if someone has any thoughts about or experience with this tactic. He especially mentioned High Elves, which will loose their...

    Tactic worth trying: GG, Bats and CC?

    Hey. I'm fairly new to VC and had a real long talk to some staff member of my local GW store. He plays VC as well (since 15 years) and is a fan of one particular tactic. It contains 2 CC, units of Bat Swarms and a huge block of 50 GG with GW. Since these units are (by some) not the most...

    Rising for the first time ...

    Hey, Ladies and Gents, I'm new to this forum and to VC as well. Usually I'm playing 40k IG but some comrade from the university has brought me back to fantasy shores (about a thousand years ago I played some games with DE and WE). I always liked the idea of each enemy killed boosting my...
