  • It's time once again to ferret out those murderous vampires in a new VAU - Vampires Amongst Us. A cross between Cluedo and a roleplay, sometimes gory and often hilarious! Find out more and sign-up! here.

    What Spells to bring (and healing your undead)

    Don't forget that lightning bolt always hits on 4+ too. Stealthy individual hiding in a forest? Normally that would be -3 to hit. Not with lightning bolt ;)

    CN's Magazine: The Invocation - Who's Interested?

    Hi, I'm currently working on my creative writing master's degree so a lot of my time is spent with that. However, occasionally I write the odd short story for pleasure. They tend not to be warhammer related, but I'd be happy to send in any vampire counts stories I write if you're interested? :)...

    If you were a vampire/necromancer in the world of warhammer

    I'd probably go the Necrarch route. Not all that fussed about waging war for the most part, I'd spend most of my time tinkering and improving my undead servants. Is a zombie better off with hands in place of feet? Can you grow a fell bat on a ghoul's back? Why shouldn't skeleton warriors be...

    Bad Dice Podcast 103 - Vampire Counts Army Review

    Whoah there's a lot of negativity in this thread! Personally I'm a fan of the podcast. Sure I might not agree with everything they suggest, but it's nice to listen to them while painting or travelling and there are quite a few tactical gems in their episodes. Also I like the odd tangents they...

    Vampiric Chaos Warrior/ Chaotic Vampire?

    Vampires and Chaos may not mix well, though I seem to recall one novel suggesting some vampires may attempt to seek favour from the gods but it was unclear what became of them. The undead in general though can easily have some crossover with chaos, especially in the case of Nurgle. Valnir the...

    This is Halloween!

    Your army is really shaping up to be something special I'll definitely be watching this with interest. I especially like the fact that despite using the garden of Morr pieces (which really are quite large as I found out myself) your ghouls still look like a huge horde. Very well done :)

    Hangman's lament

    Haha I wondered if anybody would spot that ;)

    Hangman's lament

    Thanks guys, I've recently handed in my dissertation so I have more time on my hands now. I'll hopefully write something new soon :)

    Hangman's lament

    Thankyou :) I probably won't be writing for pleasure for a while as I have a mountain of work to do, but next time I do something I'll post it up. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Hangman's lament

    Hi folks, only recently got back into vampire counts with the new book out. In a red bull infused frenzy of coursework writing I decided to also write a little fluff for my current vampire counts project. Hope you enjoy it. It was a quiet night at the Orc's Head. Unusually so given the...

    Proxie Question: Zombie Pirates as Ghouls

    Personally I'd be fine with it as long as there's enough distinction between the zombies and the zombie ghouls. It will depend on your opponent though and if you intend to take them to a tournament you will need to clear it up with the organisers first.

    What would you like to see in our 8th ed Army Book...

    Special characters can be quite cool, but GW occasionally pull a character straight from hollywood (Sly Marbo anybody?). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if we end up with Edmund Kullen I'm leaving the hobby...

    2600 harsh comp

    Thankyou for the suggestions guys, I have to head to work shortly so will make a full post later. The combat lord with blood drinker is a great idea, definitely frees up some of my magic phase to use invocation and danse macabre. Blood knights i could possibly make in time out of dragon...

    New awseome models from Warhammer forge

    They are awesome models, BUT, I just wish they weren't Nurgle. Considering how easy it is to convert Nurgle things, it makes more sense to simply make your own than pay forgeworld prices in my eyes. The few sneek peaks of chaos dwarfs elsewhere caught my attention though :cool:

    Dispel Scroll: Yes or No?

    In 7th it was one of the first things to go in my list. In 8th it's something I take if I have points to spare. I would definitely recommend taking one before you start adding "toys" in, but at the same time I've found I can often get away with not having one. The chances are if somebody...

    2600 harsh comp

    Ok, in a couple of weeks I'm going to a tournament with some of the harshest comp I've seen and I wondered if people have any advice they can give me. I won't post the full comp as most suggestions can be easily tweaked to fit, but here are some of the rules that will likely impact on army...

    I desire a new army, besides VC!

    If you're torn between chaos and dwarfs, why not go for CHAOS DWARFS? Mantic is doing an army for them, Warhammer Forge is doing stuff for them and there are plenty ofgood (unofficial) rulebooks to go by. Get on the Chaos Dwarf bandwagon before they become fshionable :)

    Forbidden lore or dark acolyte when usin necromancy

    Personally I would go for dark acolyte, there are only a few spells your Lord really needs to cast and you have a good chance of rolling a double with 4 dice. Also that +1 to cast may not sound like much, but it can make all the difference at a crucial moment. Furthermore, if you plan on...

    Vampiric Powers Hereditary?

    The blood kiss, much like warpstone, is one of those things that GW pretty much does whatever it wants with. Having said that, the fluff generally supports the fact that the blood kiss passes on some of the traits of the associated bloodline. How it interacts with the victim's personality...
