About 13 with a Vamp Lord and a WK

I'm definitely seeing this as the way to go for VC Cavalry. A question, though - why a Wight King over another Red Fury Vampire (a Hero, in this case)? Too much Deathstar?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

More that if someone comes along I really dont want to duke it out with in a challenge I would rather them have a WK than a vampire of any kind.

 

[rothgar13]

Is there really something that can reliably scare a Vampire with and a 1+ save and a Nightshroud next to him, though? I don't feel there is.

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Captain Heartwood and his knack for killing monsters....

 

[rothgar13]

But that's why you have the Nightshroud NEXT to the Vampire Lord, not ON him. So that 4+ Ward save is ready to intercept. That said, you can do that with a Wight King, too.

 

[Johnny-Crass]

And as always the Wight King is cheaper than the Vampire. Sure I loose a wizard but I gain a wound a toughness and a bunch of points.

 

[rothgar13]

Is he going to be a BSB?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Nah my BSB rides the pimp coach

Dear Johnny,

What is the name of the punk version of Jessica Rabbit that is your current avatar?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Vanessa Lake.... Well worth a second lookerv:

 

[Ohcyt The Destroyer]

I like your style Johnny. A zombie for you.

What other armies do you play and why?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

I play Beastmen because they used to be challenging, I play Brets because they are challenging and I am starting to play a themed OnG list because I want a break from tournament play.

And thanks for the zombie!

 

[Zhatan]

Vanessa Lake.... Well worth a second lookerv:

Found the gallery your avatar image is from... Shame on you!!
But she is alot hotter then the other girl you went on about

 

[Konrad the Blooded]

Hey I noticed in some of your lists you run 2 TG's and a Vargh do you think 2 Varghs and a TG would be just as scary?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

I think terrorghiests pull way more weight thank varghulfs but varghulfs are there solely to hunt warmachines and snipe mages while Ghiests are my anti armor.

 

[Lynks]

Gunna jump in and say i run two vargulfs and a gheist most of the time. There isnt all that much armor running around here unless I play my brettonian friend to really warrant two terrorgheists and the extra combat potential/ survivability of the vargulfs really grinds down units in comparison. (double charge being neccesary of course). Thanks to the smaller base they are also a bit more manouvrable and the vampiric rule has saved me a number of times when my general decides to
A- blow himself up or
B- Get his head chopped off or
C- catch a cannon ball
I do counteract the lack of a second terrorghiest a bit though by having a ghoul king on the terrorghiest with scabscrath, not the most competitive choice but there are too many targets in my list, cannons won't last past turn 2 and I don't really care if he dies as a necromancer'll pick up the slack and he has usually earned his points by that stage.

Dear Johnny,

Where does Ms. Lake's boyfriend live? I want to have a...talk with him...

 

[Maeson]

Dear Johnny,

Where can I find pictures of hot goth chicks like you have in your profile?

[Johnny-Crass]

I would split the Varghiests into two units and take shadow on the vamps. Other than that top notch stuff

 

[rothgar13]

I actually think I'd be a lot more comfortable with it if you could sneak a Dispel Scroll in there someplace.

Dear Johnny:

I just finished reading your Battle against Chaos Born. I seem to recall you scoffing when I talked about how unbeatable my friend's demon army was. How was that Humble Pie?
