Dear Johnny

devastating charge on bretts would be quite fitting, they are after all the best heavy cav in the wahammer world.
then again 3wide rankbonus helps the static alot.
d6 impact would be too powerful, but I can see the devastating charge fit, fluffwise too :thumb:

Not sure if it had been asked or answered before here, and if it has, I apologize. That said... What would be your ideal load out for a blender lord on coven throne? I havean insane idea for a conversion, but want to know if it's with using and what would be the best way to kit out the lord for magic and combat

 

[Johnny-Crass]

I worked with the Throne for a while (How I made my name on this site honestly) and I have found it is just too expensive to mount a lord on the throne. A hero is better suited with a blender lord running alongside.

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Seneschal is the coolest cat on this planet.


Now back to the thread

 

[DJ_Crazee]

I'm mainly just trying to figure out a good way to run the character in my fluff, there's a brief decryption of her over in the Necrarch's Workshop, essentially was wanting a way to represent the "Hellwraith" within the rules and the throne seemed the best option, though if you have any better ideas they would be greatly appreciated

 

[rothgar13]

You have ads on the thread now? I hope the cold hard cash Sen paid you for this is worth it. :tongue:

Anyway, I wanted to get your thoughts on Banshee placement in a Screamer list. I understand that it's definitely flexible, but what is your default? On their own, sneaking them behind other units, hiding them in blocks...?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Give it a look DJ.

Rothgar yes he did and I run them all in one unit of skeletons with +1 movement and a Ghoul King.

 

[DJ_Crazee]

Give what a look?

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Your lore so I can match you a character

 

[DJ_Crazee]

The only thing I have set in done for the army at the moment is a hero vamp with Beasts, and working a way to get 12(10+2 hero) wraiths, most of the rest of the list is up for anything, for Alicia I was thinking Vampires and possibly a MNecro/Necro with Death

I've also been debating whether a small group of 5 KoBK with flaming banner would be worth having around for monster hunting

 

[Johnny-Crass]

and Darkness, what happens if I cast the same spell with the same
Wizard as a result of the Cursed Book? Can I target the same unit
for a cumulative e ect or must I target a di erent unit? (p63)
A: You are free to target any enemy unit with the duplicate
spell as normal, including a unit that has already been affected
by the spell, in which case the effects are indeed cumulative.

Cursed book and double terrorghiest in every VC list I write says what?

I think some of you might be happy with the new faq, such as you don't have to take lore of vampires on your general if you have a certain vampire power.

 

[Lynks]

I think some of you might be happy with the new faq, such as you don't have to take lore of vampires on your general if you have a certain vampire power.

Unfortunately that still isn't the case. WHereas the wizard's hat forces a random lore upon you, Forbidden lore gives you the option to choose another lore. You still have the ability to choose LoV and thus must.

 

[logan054]

No, it says he generates his spells from any of the BRB, the wizarding hat is a example.

 

[Lynks]

"the vampire can generate his spells from any of the lores in the warhammer rulebook, except the lore of life"

all forbidden lore does is expand on the range of lores you have to choose from 3 to 8, it doesn't remove LoV from your choice

 

[logan054]

Oh well

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Going try 2x8 horror and 2x terrors. Ghoul king and a big ole horde of ghoul.

 

[rothgar13]

This sounds nasty, and I demand details of how it goes.

 

[Swaiper]

Why do you like the Ghoul king so much? Whats the appeal over a Vampire Lord?

 

[Lynks]

the advantage of the ghoul king is it's got inbuilt protection, slap the dragonbane gem on and it's reasonably protected (of course nothing that a vampire could ever achieve)

but when you are only spending 5 points of magic item on protection, you can really max out your destructive potential or you can spend as much as you would with a normal LV and end up slightly cheaper overall

 

[Johnny-Crass]

The King is cheap as hell. I like cheap characters.

 

[Swaiper]

What does your Ghoul king look like johnny? just the Dragonbane Gem? on another note, how many banshees do you use in that unit with skellies and the Ghoul King?

 

[rothgar13]

I've seen one main style of Ghoul King I really like, and that is the following:

Ghoul King, Dragonbane Gem, Potion of Strength, Red Fury, Skabscrath

This guy clocks in at a cheap (for Vampires) 410 points, and he's a one-man wrecking crew that also gets to do fun stuff in the Shooting phase. A possible variant is to swap Skabscrath out for a Sword of Bloodshed and The Other Trickster's Shard if all you want is a guy who can melt stuff in combat.

Dear johnny

I've enjoyed reading this thread so far. Lots of tips and pointers. I was wondering if you would be able to give me some advice here
