hello guys!
next week I have a last tournament with the 'old' VC book before the new one gets out!
I'm going to take one thing I haven't tried out yet and that's the dethstar grave guard unit with the regen banner ( I know:redface: )
The unit will be flanked by 2 units of 30 ghouls and behind it a small bunker unit of 10. The tournament is 2000 pts.
The thing I'm doubting about is whether to take a combat, caster of hybrid lord. And which vampire thrall to side him. The sure thing I want to take is the staff of damnation, as I'm expecting a lot of daemon players and with the staff I can diminish their number before the actual combat.
So all-in-all, I'm stuck on the choice of the lord and the thrall and which function to give them.
-Do I take a full-combat lord, with the thrall behind it to give WS 6, or is that overkill for the unit. And what is a good set-up for the lord.
-Do I take 2 casters, giving the lord WS 10 and the helm, +2 dice and the forbidden lore, and the thrall in support with another lore (but which one?)
-Do I take a hybrid, with MoTB and red fury. But what as aquipment? Also, then the thrall should have dark acolyte (to let the lord choose vanhel's reliably) and the helm. In doing so, I would have to take a necro to take the staff...
A lot of brainstorming, I know ( and sorry for that!). I'm keeping in mind to face a bloodthirster!
Anyone have some good tips or tricks?
Greetz, and thx in advance!
