Sunny's challenge

[bigbadbat]

Good job!
I would have stayed away from Kemmler and gone with MN vamps with NOs.
Looks solid though, maybe drop a few CH to get a Varghulf or some gheists for backfield shenanigans.
This list is a lot tougher than it first looks!

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Saddly the list is illegal. Only one unit of skeletons may carry a magic banner

 

[bigbadbat]

So ditch the banner of "not scaring anyone anyways"

 

[The Sun King]

Done

And thanks, glad that the challenger approves It was REALLY hard for me to build that list, so I'm just satisfied that I actually got through with it

 

[Nagashizzar]

[Xelgno]

Every now and then this idea comes up and it would be awesome but it really isn't feasable. So I present the challange to you sunny. make a working, feasable and fun Zombie Apocalypse army, themed heavly around zombies with courpse carts (2-3) and as much sinergy as you can dream up.

Good Luck!!

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Hahah Sunny thanks for taking list building weight off me for once:tongue:

[The Sun King]

Had to go home early with a migraine so now I sit here 23:58 and see if I can figure out some good builds through the fog of an intense headache...

[The Sun King]

Hi Nagashizzar, thanks for the concern - yeah been a bad week of migraines... but I hope the worst of it is over now. Okay so I've made this list for you:

LORDS
VL: Charmed Shield, Talisman of Preservation, Ogre Blade, RF, QB, Heavy Armour, Level 1 LoV
Master Necromancer: DS, Level 4 Death

HEROES:
Vampire: Aura of Dark Majesty, Fear Incarnate, ES, Sword of Swift Slaying
Banshee
Banshee

CORE:
40 Skeleton Warriors: FC, Spears, Screaming Banner
40 Skeleton Warriors: FC (If you can then give these guys spears as stand in)
5 DW
5 DW
20 Zombies

SPECIAL:
30 Grave Guard: FC, Banner of the Barrows, GWs

RARE
Mortis Engine
Mortis Engine

Total Army Points: 2496pts


Okay so here's the deal: This army is basicly an LD debuff army with 4 screams and some Fear Bombing. I had a really hard time with your core since you didn't have any Ghouls(which would have been nasty together with the 2 ME's) so instead I settled for Skellies. The Master Necromancer should get Doom and Darkness and bomb the enemy while your Vamps kills in abundance. Put the Baby Vamp with the Spearletons and the Master Necromancer goes into the Zed bunker. The VL can go where you want him to support and destroy. The 2 ME's is the centre of the army buffing your forces and screaming together with your banshees. The Spearletons should be fielded in horde while the Swordletons should be fielded 5 wide for anvil effect.

 

[The Sun King]

Okay Xelgno here we go:

LORD:
VL: Talisman of Preservation, Charmed Shield, RF, QB, Ogre Blade, Level 4, Heavy Armor, Barded Nightmare

HEROES:
Vampire: RF, ES, Sword of Swift Slaying, Heavy Armour, Barded Nightmare, Level 1 Death
Vampire: RF, Dragonhelm, Barded Nightmare, Shield, Lance, Heavy Armor, Level 1 Death
Necromancer: DS, Level 1 LoV
Necromancer: Level 1 LoV

CORE
30 Zombies: Standard
30 Zombies: Standard
30 Zombies: Standard
30 Zombies: Standard
30 Zombies: Standard
30 Zombies: Standard
5 Dire Wolves
5 Dire Wolves

SPECIAL
Corpse Cart: Balefire
Corpse Cart: Unholy Lodestone
10 Black Knights: FC, Barding, Lances, Banner of Swiftness

RARE:
Mortis Engine: Blasphemous Tome

Total Army Points: 2500pts


Okay so the idea is pretty simple, make a main battle line of 5 blocks of Zeds with a bunker with the two necros behind them, then keep ME's Tome and the Unholy Lodestone within range of the Baby Necros and watch them grow those Zombs on 3+ with one die. This is very much a points denial strategy, but you still have to kill something in your enemies army. This is where the Black Knight Bus comes in, the Vamps can deathsnipe while the VL keeps the bus alive... but snipe his deathcasters before he snipes you.

 

[Weibz]

I like this list. You managed to fit in the ME and the slow moving corpse carts. The mobile Death snipe is pretty cool as well. nice job

 

[The Sun King]

Thanks Weibz!

 

[Bounce]

A slightly different challenge for you. What is the worst list you can make for 2400 points?

 

[The Sun King]

Haha that's an amazing challenge! I love it! I put up some further restrictions for myself: I had to pick some kind of choice in each category: Lord, Hero, Core, Special and Rare. This is the insane list I came up with

LORD

HERO
Krell, Lord of Undeath

CORE
20 Dire Wolves: Doom Wolf
20 Dire Wolves: Doom Wolf
14 Dire Wolves: Doom Wolf
10 Skeleton Warriors: FC, Spears, Gleaming Pennant
10 Skeleton Warriors: FC, Spears
12 Skeleton Warriors: FC, Spears
10 Crypt Ghouls
10 Crypt Ghouls

SPECIAL

10 Spirit Host(in one unit )

RARE

Total Army Points: 2397pts


Haha now it's up to YOU to find out how to play this darn list

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Again with the illegal lists Sunny? One corpse cart too many

 

[Lynks]

Again with the illegal lists Sunny? One corpse cart too many

To be fair, an illegal list is about as bad as you can do.

 

[The Sun King]

Sorry guys! Guess I got a little excited about spamming my love-to-hate-unit

Fixed it up so it shouldn't be illegal now.

 

[Melle]

i got one for you.
2 restrictions, contradictory, i know.
and your not allowed to add more.

1.zombie dragon - use it
2.competitive -

cheers

 

[Johnny-Crass]

Can we use the zombie dragon as a unit filler for my black-knights? (Guess who just blew your mind?)

 

[Melle]

nice try, J-C
but no, you need to put the vampire on it, and not use it as filler.


that's what comes from posting tired

 

[Melle]

sorry for DP, but edit bugged.
its 2500pts

 

[The Sun King]

Dear mother of god... That is one nasty challenge - I can't stand the Zombie Dragon ruleswise(it's a great model though). I'll give it a try though
