It is a huge furnace unit and a huge bell unit. Two large unbreakable combat blocks. It just owns your face if you cant kill the towers.

I know what it is. I have a copy of Josh R.'s army that he beat me with during game one at QCR. I usually use the plague furnance because I love the model and my plague monks have such a cool paint job. Not to mention, it is a solid unit!. Not as big a fan of the bell even though mine is really nicely painted. I just hate how easy it is to lose your Greyseer to cannon balls or someone making contact and directing all their attacks to him.
I'm taking some stuff that nobody ever uses in Skaven Builds. I'm just going to bust lose and have some fun Saturday. I expect to lose 2 of the 3 games. :grave:
If my $#%*ing Terrorgheist was completed and painted I'd bring my VC army. But whereas I thought I would get a lot of painting done on the 6 weeks I had off in August and Sept, I didn't.
I think my VC army would give your Knights more trouble especially with five or six units of 20 zombie tarpits/speed bumps. This 'overrun' ruling just amped up the value of zombies ten fold.
12 Grail Knights hit the 20 zombies right in front of my bus. Oh look there! You did 18 wounds. Nice.
Guess these last two will lose their magical link to their lord and fall down to simple corpses again. Oh look, the Grail Knight charge is spent. Say hello to my blender lord who eats your general before he can attack.

Hmmm, I can see a few fun magic combo's with Hexwraiths, Vanhels, Book of Arkhan and maybe even Mannfred.
It might be a one trick pny but hey, 3 times moving hexwraiths through units (and even more if your get yourself a loremaster) in a turn seems like a fun thing to do.

The Terrorgheist scream can be used to target units that are involved in combat that it itself is not involved in ... great finally
However, can the Terrorgheist target a unit other than the one it is engaged with. They cleared this up for the banshee saying NO but what about the Terrorgheist?
And the D3 added to ION does that increase its ability to be successfully cast or does it just make it harder to dispel?

Don't know about that. Blood Knights have won me my latest two battles by walking through (among other things) a Plague Monk/Plagu Furnace Horde and a beefed up Tomb Guard Horde as if they weren't there...
And we knew this ruling was coming.
Relating to screams. I heard someone say that SiN and screams have been fixed. Didnt see it in our FAQ..is it in the Skaven FAQ?
And can we finally put the wight king vs necromancer general issue to rest?

I still see the blood knights being fun to use and hard hitting. With their banner they are hard to remove before they get a charge. Despite slower raising I still see the easiest way for oppenents to deal with them being simply baiting them.
The Terror and banshee errata is by far the best as I can finally tell my gaming group to shut up and take it as they scream stuff to death. I still need more Zombies tho.. and some wolves.

Regarding SiN, I get in the argument everytime with my skaven buddy.
While you may use Inspiring presence, SiN is for ld TESTS only. No scream help.

Tombking got some great stuff in their faq like this little gem
Add “A unit with the Entombed Beneath the Sands special
rule may choose to deploy normally along with the rest of the
army if the owning player wishes. In this case, the owning
player must clearly state this to their opp
Hello Scarab Swarm Chaff
Also this question.... My god this question
Q: Can a Tomb King be your army’s Hierophant if he has the
Wizarding Hat? (p28).
A: No.

Egad I hope not.
Some things like Empire Wizard wagons, Galrauch or the Cauldron may have either stupid fluff, terribly ugly models or models that no longer even remotely match their abilities (how is that Khaine statue moving again?).
Tomb Scorpions have it all. It doesn't get any stupider than that.
There are other WD updates that are still valid and not in FAQs. I'm not sure the power goes back to the original at all. The WD update still happens and no WD update ever needed an FAQ to make it valid. It's very messy. They have no idea how to make something clear.
Would it have killed them to say no to 1+lvl vampiric and yes to etheral, or no to both. No, but I'm beginning to think they like antagonising us.

And in the spanish FAQ, the answer to exact the same question is "NO".
"P. ¿Puede utilizarse el Lamento de la Doncella Espectral de una
Doncella Espectral o el Chillido mortal de un Vargheist contra una
unidad enemiga trabada en combate cuerpo a cuerpo con la que no esté
trabada la Doncella Espectral o el Vargheist? (pág. 32)
R. No."
Sad, really sad....
now, i dont speak spanish at all, can only order a beer and say nasty things about yo momma....BUT
the spanish quote mentions vargheist...Or that is their name for terrorgheist?
still sad though

I quickly checked french FAQ and it seam the same as the english one.
There's 2 FAQ on the question regarding the banshee scream,
the first about being able to scream into a close combat other than the one you're in;
the other being able to scream into a close combat if you're not in one yourself.
are you sure you looking at the right one ? (i'm sure you are, but if not, it might explain things)
Aside from that, as it is an English company, I would argue that the english FAQ take precedent,
as the other FAQ are probably translation.

I'm decently happy with the FAQ on an overall basis, though some stuff could be clarified slightly better, etc, etc...
I Have a prediction: The whole "OMG! Can't overrun after crumble? WTF?!!?! BROOOOOKEN!!!!" thing will calm down once it goes from internet theory to tabletop practice. Swarms got better, but noone used them before, Skaven are already fielding 100+ Slaves on a regular basis, TK and VC core kinda needed a buff due to not having Steadfast, and a few units of conga-Furies REALLY isn't that big a deal.
The meta might change towards fewer hordes and more small and midsized units to deal with the potentially increasing number of annoying speedbumps, but to me, anything that changes the mentality away from big hordes towards more an MSU/MMU approach is a good thing in terms of making the game more fun

If you read the terrorgheist section you will find that the scream actually paralyze opponents (sometimes they get scared to death though). When the opponent is paralyzed the terrorgheist swoops down, pick them up and flies back to his original position to eat them 
or something like that, I don't remember exactly.
