Smaller foot print same attacks

Also it means that you can put 4 attacks onto a single model rather than 2

 

[rothgar13]

Ranks are utterly irrelevant for Dire Wolves since you won't get a CR bonus (not enough guys) and they won't be disrupting (ditto) or steadfast (you're Undead), so you just want to squeeze them into the minimum amount of space, so that they can pile on all their attacks against a given target, or avoid more attacks against them.

Rothgar, Don't doubt the power of the 15 strong 5 wide 3 deep dire wolves and their ability to get flank charges, it's really quite hilarious at times

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Only thing I doubt about them is their massive footprint (125x150 is huge for chaff/flankers)

 

[Lynks]

yeah but if you put them on an extreme flank it tends to not be an issue, and if they become a manoeuvring hazard you can always just get them killed, they aren't too many points. I've seen them do wonderful things like tear down hellpits course I would probably never take them to a tournament.

 

[bigbadbat]

No less of a footprint than a BK bus.
Plus, this may sound crazy but with lvl 4 and SCotN you can turn 5 wolves that charged a flank into disruptors!(After they charge!)
I still run the Johnny Bullet, but its something I've been pondering as I'm always trying to come up with new tricks.
They are our fastest unit.

Dear Johnny,

I have a Vampire Lord the Army Book and Rule book. I want to be a magic heavy zombie APOCALYPTIC BRAIN SUCKING HORDE OF TERROR ... sorry got carried away. But my questions are:

What do I get next to start a horde magic heavy army?

Are there any combos that I should know when building my zombie horde?

Also would a zombie horde magic heavy army be a competitive force?

Is the Black Coach any good?

What is a good 500 point list of horde magic heavy list look like?

Please help me ... I am so unsure of what to buy that I haven't bought anything else for some time.

 

[Johnny-Crass]

I like my zombies in units of 20, but that is with a included Ghoul Horde. If you want to just take mass zombs I would run something like
40 Full command
20 Muso
20 Muso
5 Wolves
5 Wolves.

That should fill you out at 1500.


I think in a list built for the BC it can be decent but it is just not something one throws into ones list.

 

[TK6445]

Thanks guys about the wolves. I've been running three units five wide and didn't think to do anything else. Even though they got in the way during deployment and failed to run down a lone herald.

I wonder what other little gems I'm missing.

rothgar13!!!! Where have you been?

Playing Beastmen. You?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Post more battle reps Rothgar. I enjoy your Beastmen

No Doubt. I'm starting up a herd and need some good inspiration.
Do they allow bigbadbat's at the Herdstone?

 

[Nagashizzar]

Johnny, Rothgar, did you see the new Great Bray-Shaman? he's really beautiful!

[Johnny-Crass]

I like him but he is not great bray material. Not nasty enough, not big enough.

Also Bigbat while I do not always like that forum it is a good place for the horned player

Playing Vampire Counts haha

How could it possibly compare:devil2:

Dear Mr Johnny

I have some money in my pocket and it seems to be burning a hole I have been eyeing up a new rare choice to buy to expand my 2k list to 2.4k, what do you think fof Wraiths? worth it, pointless, we have better choices, I have given up with the terror, its to bloody annoying to transport about with breaking

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Wraiths? All of me wishes they had skirmish like in the old days. I have been meaning to try a little wraith deathstar but I keep forgetting. I dunno. They might be decent like 8 wide 1 deep as a horde thrashing unit but they are a boat load of points and need something bigger and nasty to keep them off the chopping block. So I honestly do not know as it is one unit that I have not had the pleasure of trying yet.

Dear Johnny,

Ive been tooling up a list with a sgk on TG recently:
linky
