Oh, good. You were scaring me for a second; I thought that I might not be able to tease you for the fourth and fifth episodes. Luckily that's not the case!

Hi Johnny,
I'm just about to enter my first tournament. With the paint slowly drying on my two terrorghiests I pinged the organisers this question:-
Can you please confirm that my Terrorgheist can scream into
combat that it's not involved in. The scream is a special attack not a
shooting attack that happens in the shooting phase. On page 42 of the main
rulebook it states for usual attacks you ignore step 1 which includes targeting
restrictions. IE shooting into combat. Plus in the last FAQ, GW confirmed
Banshees can scream into combat their not involved in.
I had this reply:-
We've reviewed the question and decided no. Just because Banshees can doesn't mean Terrorgheists can.
Do you have a pearl of wisdom to counter their argument? Or is that case closed - judges decision final and all that? Should I drop my two terrorgheists as their now so much weaker?
Cheers

There is a wise old saying you should live by and play Warhammer by. It is far easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
You are stuck now because, right or wrong, that is the decision the organizer made. Everyone knows the ETC is wrong about that but they 'choose' to add a restriction that is not there. That is what your organizer did. It would have been better to just do it to your opponent and then we he questioned you, make the above argument. Chances are that 9 times out of 10 your opponent would just accept it and move on. I played a Dark Elf player on Saturday. I don't have the new book and I am unfamiliar with the dagger and power of darkness rule. He explained it to me. I never asked to see the book and I didn't call a judge. I took his explanation as gospel and played on.
I normally find that destroying TO's in rules debates does not end well for you. I would jsut let this one goo_o
Thanks guys. Yes your right I should have just done it and hoped I'd have got away with it. First Tournament nerves I guess 
My list needs to be in over the weekend. If you could have have a glance as this thread I'd really appreciate it:-

Found an intresting build over at the warhammer forum by a couple of chaps that thought about having less characters and more monstrous-ish stuff instead to deal some damage 
. Could this be another archetype list? Would provide a link but the page is down. Made my own variant of the list using the swedish comp system (there is a brand new update out by the way).
Anyway, the thread is in the warhammer fantasy subforum and named something like "vampires 8th edition yada yada" Anyway, on to the list.
Master Necromancer: L4 (Vampires), Talisman of Preservation, Earthing Rod
Necro L1, Scroll
Wight King: Battle Standard Bearer, Enchanted Shield, Obsidian Amulet 145
30 Ghouls: Ghast
39 Skeletons: Full Command, Banner of Swiftness
5 Dire Wolves
5 Dire Wolves
5 Vargheist
5 Vargheist
7 Crypt Horrors
Terrorgheist
Terrorgheist
Varghulf
2496
Comp: 10,1
Their list featured a level 1 death and no BSB. Without proper Ld I figured, whats the point with him? BSB has a vital role in keeping the vargheists in order until D-day.
Also, their list had 40 ghouls and 2x2 bats and spirit hosts. The initial list had 2x6 horrors that has now evolved to one unit of 8-10.
Whats your take on this type of list?

I am not even sure is this list needs a Lvl 4. Drop all the characters and take a king and just make the list pure aggression.
Also I would rather drop the varghulf for another unit of ghiests..
I like it though. As long as you do not fight Empire 1+ Spam you should do great

Well, that would be quite fun. Still, the level 4 is nice at keeping the horrors going and throwing vanhels about and also to dispel the spells you really dont want to go through .
.
That list looks interesting on paper, but the learning curve and opponent adjustments figure to be a doozy. Steadfast is going to be a constant foe, and anybody packing great weapons and fire will gut out some bloody victories. Also has a big weakness to "chuck it and f**k it" Mindrazor tactics, since it doesn't have many Wounds to go around (but hey, who doesn't?).
I think the plan is to isolate and overwhelm. My problem with this is that the general is stupidly slow and isolation would be difficult. I am reworking this list and have almost finished. Let us just say it is a massive improvement IMO

He he; I refuse to allow myself to ever dislike Dr Who so I couldn't call the Dinosaurs "garbage", but it was very silly.
The Slow Invasion is good though. Great build-up and everything, just a couple of odd things that could've been explained if they'd done a proper job and double-episoded it. The end feels a little rushed to me...
I liked the dinosaurs episode purely because Mitchell and Webb were the robots
Although you probably don't know who they are do you Johnny...

Nope I am American so if you said the robots were played by Abe Lincoln and Jesus I might know who you mean!

Dear Johnny, I have recently had a burning urge to use the Rod of Flaming Death- Would you recommend seeing a doctor about this?
Innuendos aside- What do you think of the item? Have you had a chance to test it out yet?

I have used it a tad on a vampire cav hero with shadow. Slap a Soulblight or Withering on a unit then 2 dice this puppy at the end of your phase and you can really deter charges against your cav-star.

Hmm, seems legit...
Deterring charges was the kind of thing I was thinking of... Seems a pretty cool item- may throw it into my next list

Dear Johnnyboi!
Are Blood Knights viable? I havent seen you use em in any list and they seem pretty badass. Is it because TGs are simply better or just that they dont fit in? Opinions people! How many would you use? if so would you put a vamp there? banner? etc!!

They are expensive points wise. This means I really dislike them because if they bite it I am a huge chunk of points in the hole.
