That's quite a lot of stuff, 2250 points? I think it should work well enough. Most don't like the Obsidian Amulet, but your Vamp should be fine against most mundane attacks, plus it's great having MR1 against so many powerfu armies, like Empire and their War Altars.

Ok back from the tournement. Here's the quick run down

Game 1 Goblin horde with 4 shamans. the guy had like thirty fanatics. summoned zombies far out and drew them early they did more damage to him than to me. Once they got close his low ld did him in the whole army essetially routed. Massacre for me 17-5.


Game 2 Skaven :devil: every dirty thing Ihave ever heard about the horned rat worshiper is true dirty b##$%$#. Any ways he avoided mey general and shot my units to death. Major loss 6-16

Game 3 Beasts of chaos; another army I have never faced. All of his models where converted orcs/ogres. He had like 3 minitor units. Some flyionjg deamon unit. dragon ogres. 3 chariots. Ok so we where in close combat by turn two. Basically my giant rocked his leadership sucked, and he wasn't able to do enough damage to get rid of my skellies.

Highlight of the game for me was when wis generals unit charged my skellie and after combat res killed all but 4 out of like 20. I charged in my grave guard who had been held back just enough to fource him to charge the skellies first. Anyways I charged in my grave guard with my general and declared a challenge that he accepted with his general who was some kind of monster with 5 wounds and nasty stats. But before close combat I was able to raise my skellies back up to about 25. Durring the challenge I killed his general outright in the first turn. He was shocked don't think he had ever fought a Blood Dragon :D apperently he had some item that worked like a blood drinker but he bever got the chance to use it. Long story short he brooke I ran him down with the skellie, esetially game over.

Massacar for me 16-5


ok so I ended up 7th overall and I believe tied for 4th if you only looked at battle points

Nice one! Killing a Dombull before he gets a chance to break out the Slaughterer's Blade, very well done there :)

I can't wait for Hatred/Red Fury/ Lance (or sword of might or something similar) on a Count. Talk about a beat down on the charge. Combine it with the Night Shroud... yikes.
