Dear Johnny

[Seneschal]

Yeah, I'm expecting a beast player that runs blackened plate. Thanks for the advice.

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Meh Tomb King-Prince with a magic weapon deals with plate boy really easy I have found.

 

[Seneschal]

Yeah, I've got a finished list but I feel that 30 TG's with halberds and a Queen is easily destroyed.

Dear Johnny...

At a 1600 point game would you field a Master Necromancer or a Vampire Lord?

What would you kit your selection out with?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

I think a master necromancer would be the better choice. As for kit Earthing Rod and Talisman of Endurance

 

[Chaos_Born]

Dear Johnny,

Why is your avatar a man now? It's very disapointing

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Because David Tennant is fantastic. Also I am trying find a good Safeish For Work avatar.... I am failing

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Ok I have found a fairly tame red-head (is there such a thing:tongue: ) for use of an avatar.

 

[Chaos_Born]

That's more like the Johnny I know!

Also, what makes David Tennant fantastic? The only decent thing I've ever seen him in was Dr. Who and even then, there have been better Doctors. Don't get me started on his role as Hamlet...

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Did you just say there are better Doctors than Tennant?:mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

 

[Chaos_Born]

Yes. Tom Baker for one (my personal favourite). Although the villains may not have been as good, the doctor was just...better in those days

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Banned for getting off the topic of stunning red-heads.....



Wait is this not that thread?

Ok...that is NOT a redhead. That is like a crimson head or something unnatural. :tongue:

 

[Chaos_Born]

Looks more like a pink head to meo_o

Dear Johnny,

Whachoo gonna do when a dual Terrorgheist list runs wild on your Bretts?

Please don't say 100 peasant bowmen.

Also, am looking to start up a new army. Got my head around 8th ed. fairly well. No HE,O&G,or dirty rats.

Any suggestions?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Well do you want a challenge, a easy army or just something with cool models?

As for double ghiests HKB works well on them and honestly I have used them enough to know how fragile they are.

 

[Ben E. Violent]

How do you get closest to 100% total protection for your Lord and Master of Undead?

Can you ever ensure the your general is not killed... ever? What Magic Items and Unit bunker can he take to be most protected?

 

[bigbadbat]

I'd like a challenge. Not a huge fan of cookie cutter lists. Painting is a huge part of the hobby for me, so style is big.
Im leaning presently toward OK, but it seems they are a bit of a one trick pony. Every list I've played is the same.
There must be some competitive variance within there book, or are all their players just that unoriginal?

 

[Yorga]

Can I butt in? Lizardmen!

 

[Johnny-Crass]

He said a challenge Yorga... Not walk across the table and cane the person with your army book. For a challenge I find Beastmen and Woodies are good. And it helps woodies have the best WHFB range besides the treekin models.


As for the unkillable character it is really not possible with items alone. You can get him a 2+ ward against magic and just keep him deep in your lines. That might work, but we can not pull the Elves unkillable character trick I am afraid

Sorry...I responded to THIS post. Didn't see the clarification until after. :blush:

I said Lizardmen because just today I was considering them. I'm going to be off work about 6 weeks soon and will have lots of time on my hands as I convalesce. I'll be working on my Vampire Counts and Warriors of Chaos. I was thinking...could I paint a brand new army? Lizardmen can either be super detailed or simple. I like that.

 

[bigbadbat]

I just pee'd a little.
I like the Lizard range, I just don't see tactical flexibility there as Johnny alluded too prior.
Any input on non typical Ogre builds?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Problem is with the ogre book is besides the monsters yhetes hunter and tyrant everything is very strong. It is not a weak or challenging book in the slightest and gets very dull IMO.

 

[Yorga]

Beastmen can be challenging and they must have the largest range of odd looking monsters in the game. I just saw the model for the Jabberslythe at my hobby store at lunch and thought, "This is cool...what is it?!"

But many people just pull the Herdstone/DoomBull from Hell army and what not. But that doesn't mean there are not other cool builds.

 

[bigbadbat]

I can see that point.
Perhaps my 3 month deluge into painting VC at a rapid rate had me subconsciously craving low model counts.
Im fairly ignorant of beastmen, do they have any units that can rank up in numbers or are they primarily skirmish/ambush?
Cliff notes please Johnny... if you would.
