Hello. I'm Crone. I have been a collector of
VC for a long time now and have had 3 successive Undead armies. My last army consisted of all metal armored skeletons commanded by a cadre of 3 elite Blood Dragons and a Necromancer. I retired the army a couple years ago with a winning percentage of about 80%. In fact, the army that accounts for most of my losses is the Slaanesh Demon army from the Storm of Chaos supplement.
While I enjoy playing quite a bit, my real passion is painting and modelling. I have won 2 Golden Demons so far: bronze for single Fantasy figure and gold for single Fantasy monster. To me, themed armies are much funner to play than armies that capitalize on all of an army's strengths and eliminate it's weaknesses. Don't get me wrong: I have no qualms about people who build strong tournament lists. Rather, I personally enjoy those armies that might be "flawed".
My current army is being built around a "Beauty and the Beast" theme. The Beast is Konrad von Carstein and Beauty is my own creation: Baroness Sadira von Carstein (a lesser known sister of Isabella von Drak). The army is fairly well balanced with a unit of ghouls, skellies, zombies, dire wolves, and grave guard complimented by a varghulf, cairn wraiths, and some blood knights (eventually). Sadira spends the game using her powerful magic abilities to raise and augment the army while taunting her enemies from the safety of a strong unit of grave guard. Konrad leads one of the other infantry units but maintains a close distance to Sadira for the use of her leadership for Stupidity checks. Lugg leads another infantry unit. He is a Wight King (the Frankenstein model froim BloodBowl modified slightly) with the Accursed Armor (Yep! That's right! He is WS 1, I 1, and T 6...a fitting statline for a golem-like creation), a shield, and a hand weapon. I mentioned I like theme instead of strengths right? My necromancer completes the hero list. No real info for him yet as he is still a work in progress.
To wrap it up, thanks for the great place for us
VC players to gather! Hopefully, I'll be a regular around here and get to know you all
